Francois Provost on diesel engines, Renault India growth expectations, and more

Renault Group CEO Francois Provost talks to use to lay out the French automaker's most ambitious India roadmap yet. From the return of the iconic Duster on the new RGMP platform and revamped RGEP platform, to a seven-product lineup by 2030, Provost reveals why India accounts for over a third of Renault's global growth target, and why the brand is no longer considering diesel. He also speaks on full hybrid localisation, upcoming BEV plans, CNG options, the future of the Triber, Kiger and Kwid, a $2 billion export target from Chennai, and what the India-EU FTA could mean for Renault's India operations.
