Currently reading: Renault backs out of battle for sales chart top spots
Brand's director of sustainable development says the firm will focus on sustainability and margins

The Renault Group will not be dragged into the battle to be the biggest electric vehicle seller, Cléa Martinet, Director of Sustainable Development, has said.

Although the Renault Zoe was only deposed as Europe’s best-selling EV by the Tesla Model 3 last year, and despite being joined by the electric Renault Megane E-Tech, Martinet said the firm had no ambitions to chase sales leadership.

“The goal is less about where we are in the charts and more about getting there in a honest, sustainable and holistic way,” she said. “Yes, the podium would be a nice goal, but doing so profitably for the long-term is more important.”
