The production of remanufactured automobile parts began in 1949 in Choisy-le-Roi, since then, the factory has been steadily diversifying its output to include injection pumps, gearboxes, injectors, and turbo compressors. It involves restoring an engine part that has been reclaimed from an old car, to a condition that is as close to its original state and characteristics as possible. Groupe Renault’s Choisy-le-Roi factory, located about half an hour from where the historic agreement was signed, provides a great example of how a more circular management of materials can both reduce emissions associated with vehicle manufacturing, and create profits and value to customers. To meet the Paris Climate change agreement, industry needs to consider its use of materials as well as energy. Increasing the life of vehicle parts with remanufacturing Promote innovation and knowledge sharing - ‘Re-start’Īccelerating research and disseminating knowledge about the circular economy. Optimise the management of resources to support the ecosystem - ‘Re-cycle’ĭismantling of end of life vehicles, the remanufacturing of parts and the reuse and recycling of materials.Ĥ. Optimise the first life of batteries, give used batteries a second life and manage end of life batteries and the exploration of new energy sources such as hydrogen.ģ. Recondition vehicles, converting thermic vehicles to less carbon intense versions including a specialist 3D-printing service for the manufacturing of rare parts.Ģ. Solutions for the production, storage and management of green energies - ‘Re-energy’ The complex will comprise an ecosystem of four interconnected and complementary areas:ġ. Extend the life of vehicles - ‘Re-trofit’ Re-Factory’s circular economy activity areas The top-line ambition for Re-Factory is to create mobility solutions with a negative CO2 balance by 2030, while at the same time generating employment for 3,000 people.
