GROUPE RENAULT INVESTS IN MICRO-MOBILITY WITH NINO ROBOTICS

Boulogne-Billancourt, December 3nd, 2019 -   The Social and Sustainable Impact Department has today signed a partnership with Nino Robotics, designer of a new type of "seated, personal transporters" aimed at changing the perception of transport solutions adapted to people with disabilities or of reduced mobility. Through this investment, the Group is pursuing its mission to develop sustainable and accessible mobility solutions for all.

As part of this partnership, Groupe Renault willprovide financial support to Nino Robotics via

Mobilize Invest, an investmentcompany dedicated to projects with a strong social impact in the field of mobilityand undertakes to set up a sponsorshipscheme through working sessions with its engineers (battery experts,motorization, connectivity, etc.). The objective of this support is tocontribute to the development of NinoRobotics and in particular of NINO4, its future electric transporter, to increaseproduction to an industrial scale.

With NINO4, Pierre Bardina, founder of NinoRobotics, intends to offer a solutionfar removed from those usually offered to people with reduced mobility. Inaddition to its highly recognizable,sleek and colorful design, as well as its minimal space requirement, this "seated personaltransporter" will also be connectedto provide users with data, such as battery charge level, speed and mileage. A"Follow Me" function will allow a third party to guide NINO4 and itsuser by auto-follow. To date, Nino Robotics has developed and markets twoproducts: Nino, a self-balanced personal carrier and One, a scooter designedfor wheelchairs.

Pierrick Cornet, Alliance Project Director and mentor ofNino Robotics,said:
"Electric, connected and accessible to as many people as possible, NinoRobotics' vision of mobility is in line with Groupe Renault’s strategy andsocial commitment. As a mentor, my mission is to connect and enlighten the potentiallinks between Nino Robotics and the automotive world, and to facilitate thesharing of experiences... We deeply appreciate this opportunity to promoteexchanges between our teams and Nino Robotics: this meets to the ambition ofmany employees of the Group, including myself, to get involved in actions witha societal objective.”

The concept of NINO4 is tocreate the desire to use a small electric device with a disruptive design.NINO4 is driven by everyone, including seniors, people with disabilities, oranyone with difficulties in their movements or movements, temporarily orpermanently. Because Nino Robotics' design significantly improves self-esteem,it has a very strong influence on the socialization of its users and, byrebound, on their morale and health.
