Renault has set a groundbreaking milestone with its visionary ‘Human First’ program. This innovative initiative, crafted in collaboration with engineers, safety experts, product managers, and firefighters is a strategic response to address critical concerns surrounding electric vehicle (EV) safety. At the forefront of this program is Renault’s commitment to protecting motorists and all road users around them.
Renalt’s Safety Commitment in Action
Renault has dedicated itself to advancing automotive safety by continuously improving current safety features and adding new ones across its product spectrum. Since 1970, the brand has secured over 2,000 safety patents, underscoring its commitment to innovation, research and development in shaping the future of vehicular safety standards.
The Human First program revolves around three paramount safety priorities:
Accident Prevention through Advanced Technologies
With a robust lineup of more than 36 ADAS technologies and 60 safety features integrated across the Renault range, the emphasis is on averting and mitigating the severity of collisions.
Partnering with firefighters around the globe
Renault’s focus on firefighter training has led to pivotal advancements in vehicle safety, exemplified by every Renault electric vehicle featuring a specialised access point that allows firefighters to extinguish battery fires within 10 minutes. Future models will incorporate a QR code for instant access to vital technical information during emergencies, showcasing Renault’s dedication to optimising the ‘golden hour’ – the critical first 60 minutes after an accident.
Mitigating Accidents via Significant R&D Investments and Onboard Innovations
Continuing its commitment to safety, the French automaker is focused on seamlessly incorporating cutting-edge onboard technologies such as Safety Score and Safety Coach and connected services to revolutionise safety at the wheel.
To add to its innovations, Renault is working on incorporating easy-access rear seats, facilitating quick and safe extraction of road accident victims during life-saving efforts.
From promising safety initiatives to cutting-edge technologies, Renault is setting the pace for a dynamic and secure future in the ever-evolving landscape of automotive innovation.
