Renault relaunches its Dacia Spring electric vehicle with production shifted to Europe to compete against Chinese rivals
The automaker is bringing production of the small electric vehicle back to Europe to qualify for government incentives.
Renault is relaunching its Dacia Spring electric model with production now based in Europe, according to Le Monde. This decision enables the automaker to benefit from government incentives intended for vehicles manufactured locally.
This move comes as Chinese automakers are stepping up their presence in the small electric vehicle segment, which accounts for roughly half of the French electric car market, according to the source.
