Through this agreement, Renault Korea plans to strengthen the research and development capabilities of its research institute employees in the future car sector by utilizing the industrial transition training provided by Inha Technical College in areas such as vehicle electrification including hybrid and electric vehicles, and autonomous driving.

Additionally, Renault Korea donated the XM3 E-TECH hybrid vehicle, developed by incorporating the hybrid technology know-how of the Renault Group F1 machine, to be used as educational material. The XM3 E-TECH hybrid is equipped with a highly efficient multi-mode gearbox without a clutch. It features a combination of 4-speed engine transmission and 2-speed electric motor, enabling optimized shifting for driving conditions. True to its nickname as 'the hybrid closest to an electric vehicle,' it offers quick responsiveness and high efficiency.

Through this vehicle donation, Renault Korea supports students in automotive-related departments to learn the latest E-Tech hybrid vehicle design know-how of the Renault Group. During the future education projects at the Industrial Transition Joint Training Center, company researchers plan to actively participate in university education programs.
