LABELLED RENAULT ECO²

Renault is reasserting its commitment to market a range of ecological and economical vehicles with the Renault eco² label:

- Ecological, by measurable results in all phases of the vehicle life cycle.
- Economical, through low fuel consumption and affordable technology.

The following are just some of the vehicles that carry the Renault eco² signature.

Clio TCe 100 

Production: Clio is manufactured at the Flins plant, which obtained ISO 14001 certification in 2000.

 

CO2 emissions: By using supercharging systems, Renault engineers can downsize to reduce engine capacity and CO2 emissions without stinting on performance. For example, the TCe 100 fitted on Clio today replaces the 1.7 l engine from 1991 that developed 90 hp. The TCe unit increases that power while reducing CO2 emissions by 75g/km.

 

Recycling: Clio contains 10% recycled plastic, or 19 kilos.

Twingo dCi 85  

Production: Twingo is manufactured at the Novo Mesto plant (Slovenia), which obtained ISO 14001 certification in 1999.

 

CO2 emissions: Twingo is now available with the dCi 85 engine. It joins the range alongside the dCi 65, delivering additional power (+20hp/15kW) and torque (200Nm, up 40Nm), yet CO2 emissions are a mere 104g/km, equivalent to combined cycle fuel consumption of 4.0 l/100km.

 

Recycling: Twingo contains 9% recycled plastic and is 95% recoverable by mass at end of life.

Laguna 110 hp 1.5 dCi 

Production: Laguna is manufactured at the Sandouville plant, which obtained ISO 14001 certification in 1998.

 

CO2 emissions: On Laguna, the 2.2-liter diesel engine that developed 115 hp in 1996 has been replaced with a 110 hp 1.5 dCi unit emitting just 130g/km of CO2 over a combined cycle. This represents a 60 g/km reduction in CO2 emissions and a fuel consumption cut of 2.3 l/100 km in under 11 years.

 

Recycling: Laguna benefitted from all the experience Renault has acquired in eco-design with a view to improving recycling results. Thanks to the efforts of Renault and suppliers on 90 of the car's components, it is 95% recoverable by mass at end of life and contains more than 17% recycled plastic.

Dacia eco² 

The Dacia brand introduced the Dacia eco² signature in October 2008. Qualifying models have to meet three criteria, as demanding as those of Renault eco², on use, production and recycling:

 

  • CO2 emissions equal to or less than 140g/km.
  • Dacia range vehicles are manufactured in two ISO 14001-certified plants: Pitesti in Romania (certified since May 2005) and SOMACA in Casablanca, Morocco (certified since February 2008).
  • 95% recoverable by mass at end of life, containing at least 5% recycled plastic.

 

The dCi 70 and dCi 85 engines (emitting 140 g/km and 137 g/km of CO2, respectively) carry the Renault eco² signature and are fitted on Logan, Logan MCV and Sandero.
