INNOVATION

R-Link is a tactile, integrated and connected tablet poised to equip most of Renault's forthcoming cars. It will first be available on ZOE and Clio in 2012. Revealed during the LeWeb'11 exhibition, Europe’s number one showcase for digital entrepreneurs, R-Link is the perfect solution for in vehicle-use, thanks to a number of useful and community applications.

R-Link, an integrated, connected, multimedia system perfect for in-vehicle use 

All the car’s functions and data.

Renault was the first carmaker to offer steering wheel-mounted controls and in-car navigation. It also made the hands-free card, high-res displays, GPS navigation (Carminat TomTom for €490) and connected navigation (Carminat TomTom LIVE), available to the greatest number, and more importantly affordable. Today, Renault continues to innovate with R-Link, a tactile, integrated and connected tablet.

 

To enable drivers to control its functions without taking their eyes off the road, R-Link features a large 18cm tactile display, steering wheel-mounted controls and speech recognition. 

 

Ideal solution to stay connected while on the move, R-Link covers all the car’s functions and data while offering access to a menu of useful and community applications already available on Smartphone.

 

At the time of its release, R-Link will pack more than 50 applications, but application developers will progressively upgrade its content and offer more apps. They will be downloadable directly to the tablet inside the car or via "My Renault" account thanks to the R-Link Store (AppStore).

 

R-Link will equip ZOE and Clio starting in 2012. In keeping with its determination to make access to innovations an affordable reality for all, Renault's R-Link will be available for most forthcoming Renault models.

An innovation for all, both affordable and scalable! 

Just as with Carminat TomTom, R-Link will be offered at an unrivalled low price. Integrated, connected and tactile, R-Link will thus also be affordable! 

 

 Renault also actively explores technologies and services that address the problems associated with automotive mobility (navigation aids, infomobility applications, in-car entertainment, etc.), in partnership with developers and start-up businesses.

 

 Renault and Laboratoire Paris Région Innovation wish to encourage the creation of a start-up ecosystem to focus on the issue of mobility-related connected services and TICs. A new start-up incubator specialising in this field was inaugurated in March 2012.

Renault, Official Partner of LeWeb'11 

For the second year running, Renault is Official Partner of LeWeb, Europe’s number one showcase for digital entrepreneurs. 

 

In 2010, Renault introduced Twizy to the bloggers invited to the event. Carlos Ghosn, Renault CEO, also took part into a debate with Loïc Le Meur, during which he defined today's car industry evolutions, as well as introduced ZOE, Renault's connected car.

 

In 2011, Carlos Tavares, Renault COO, introduced R-Link  during a Keynote that took place on December 9th. The Renault stand also featured Twizy test-drives, a Kinect zone, and an area dedicated to web developers and start-ups. 

 

The event was also covered by Renault's Twitter accounts @Renault_Live and @RenaultZE (using hashtags #Renault and #leweb).
