87 GROUPE RENAULT I UNIVERSAL REGISTRATION DOCUMENT 2020 01 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT GROUPE RENAULT GROUPE RENAULT: A COMPANY THAT ACTS RESPONSIBLY CORPORATE GOVERNANCE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS RENAULT AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF RENAULT ON APRIL 23, 2021 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION the R&D part of the support plan: eight projects, of which three P were accepted and are funded by ADEME or Bpifrance, and five were rejected during the pre-validation phase by the General Directorate of Enterprises (DGE), which deemed them not priorities, given the other projects submitted by the applicant companies. The themes addressed are power electronics, the greater availability of EV and hybrid technologies, and battery thermal management; eight projects have been submitted as part of a call for P expressions of interest for the modernization of the support plan. Two projects are still under examination as part of the call for projects that followed, and six projects were rejected before submission by the DGE, which deemed them not priorities, given the other projects submitted by the applicant companies. They concern the plants in Le Mans (sustainability of the activity and employment of the Chassis industrial site in Le Mans) and Batilly (project to create a battery assembly activity for electric vehicles). Renault also remains extremely active in its “Investing in the Future Program”. The projects submitted under the Investing in the Future Programs 1 and 2 are still underway. They include: EVAPS: Ecomobility through Autonomous Vehicles in the P Paris-Saclay region; HPP: High-Pressure Pulsed; P COCTEL: development of a hybrid powertrain; P the large-scale project (SAM – Safety and Acceptability of Driving P and Autonomous Mobility: design of high-performance automated systems, functionally safe for autonomous vehicles) on autonomous vehicles, submitted as part of PIA 2, began testing as initially planned, but nevertheless suffered some postponements due to the impossibility of carrying out certain tests in view of the health crisis. Renault’s research costs were €42 million over the project period, while €11 million in French State aid was awarded by ADEME for budgeted activities; in addition, an ANR project from academics was submitted and P accepted in 2020, with Renault’s participation. It is the DeepSee project, which is an artificial intelligence project focused on the study of new artificial neural networks.
