Renault has one of the the lowest fleet consumption in the EU-25 countries, with average CO2 emissions of 147g CO2/km (2006). Although this value is still higher than the EU’s medium-term target value of 120g CO₂/km, the company is reducing the risks arising out of a possible statutory setting of emissions limits and is making an important contribution to reducing traffic-related CO₂ emissions.
