No "dry layoff" at Renault to cut 15,000 jobs worldwide, including 4,600 in France. And this, as part of a savings plan of 2 billion euros over three years. The automaker will succeed in this feat through voluntary departures, retirements not replaced and internal mobility or retraining measures, AFP learned., We learned Thursday evening from concordant sources.
The Renault project, which must be made public on Friday morning, was presented to union organizations on Thursday evening during a group social and economic committee (CCSE).
An economy plan divided into three thirds
The group's global production capacities should be reduced, from 4 million vehicles currently to around 3.3 million, on a two-team basis (which corresponds to a higher potential real production by adding a third team) .
In France, an "information-consultation" procedure for employee representatives will begin "from mid-June", according to a union source.
A group board of directors was convened Thursday evening. According to concordant sources, the savings plan of 2 billion euros is distributed for approximately "a third on production, a third on engineering and a third on structural, marketing and network costs".
A reflection "to imagine a retraining project in Dieppe"
Regarding production sites in France, the activity of the Choisy-le-Roi plant (Val-de-Marne), which employs 260 people in the repair of engines and gearboxes used as re-use parts, must be transferred to the factory in Flins (Yvelines), around sixty kilometers away. In Flins, car production will stop after the end of the Zoe in a few years.
The management declared to the CCSE that there would be "a reflection for the creation in Flins of an ecosystem on the circular economy which would integrate Choisy-le-Roi," said a union source. The project provides for "a strategic review of the foundry-cast iron system in France", which concerns the future of the Foundry of Brittany in Caudan (Morbihan), said this source. The site employs nearly 400 people.
The plan also announces a reflection "to imagine a conversion project in Dieppe at the end of the production of the Alpine 110", added this source.
