In June 2015, the Groupe Renault Dieppe plant in northern France starts assembling the all-electric city car Bluecar, from bodies and parts brought in by Bolloré.
Groupe Bolloré is phasing in assembly by Groupe Renault of its Bluecar model, previously only made in Italy.
At Dieppe, the agreement is warmly welcomed for its positive impact on employment and as a sign of recognition of the plant's capabilities and know-how.
Renault Dieppe, specialists in small production runs
The Dieppe plant, which dates to 1969, specialises in small production runs. It currently makes Clio RS 200 EDC and competition vehicles.
A dedicated assembly shop has been set up within the plant to handle the work on Bluecar, and will eventually employ thirty people. This provides Bolloré with access to a modern production system tailored to its needs.
