Renault Group Launches Renault Care Fleet to Support Healthcare Professionals in Medical Deserts
Renault's Electric Car Lease Eases Travel Costs for Rural Healthcare Workers
Boulogne-Billancourt, April 10, 2026 - Through its CareMakers inclusive mobility program, Renault Group is strengthening its social commitment by launching Renault Care Fleet, a new solidarity offer dedicated to healthcare professionals working in medical deserts. This initiative aims to facilitate the travel of caregivers and to support access to care in the territories most weakened by the lack of mobility solutions.
"Renault Care Fleet was born out of a reality on the ground: for caregivers, mobility is a work tool in its own right, yet this mobility is becoming more and more expensive. In remote and underserved areas, access to care is at stake. By offering solidarity-based mobility solutions adapted to the challenges of the regions, we are making the vehicle a daily ally for healthcare professionals and a concrete lever for access to and continuity of care," said Cléa Martinet, Renault Group Senior Vice President, Sustainable Development.
Renault Care Fleet, a Solidarity Offer for Caregivers, Targeted at the Needs of the Territories
Renault Group is launching Renault Care Fleet, a fleet of 50 reconditioned electric Renault ZOE E-Tech electric, available from 10 April in the Grand Est, Centre-Val de Loire and Alpes-Maritimes regions. Aimed at nurses, nursing assistants and midwives working at home, this offer aims to make mobility a lever for action in the service of care.
The offer is based on a solidarity lease from €99 per month (48 months, with a first rent increased by €1,300 including tax), including a charge pass. It guarantees a cost of use divided by four compared to a combustion vehicle, a range of up to 395 km (WLTP) with fast charging and use without local emissions.
The procedure is carried out on the www.caremakersmobility.com/fr/carefleet website, allows you to check eligibility for the scheme and, if necessary, to be contacted by the point of sale.
Facilitating Access to Care through Accessible and Responsible Mobility
In France, home health professionals travel tens or even hundreds of kilometres every day to ensure an essential presence with patients, particularly in rural and peri-urban areas. In these territories with low medical density, mobility directly conditions the ability to maintain a long-term healthcare presence.
However, the increase in the costs of travel, fuel, maintenance and wear and tear weakens the economic balance of these professions and complicates the organisation of rounds.
This logistical pressure has direct consequences: increased fatigue, reduced time with patients and difficulty covering certain areas.
"I see between 27 and 30 patients a day. Between inflation and the rise in petrol and diesel prices, there are many nursing practices that are closing." Aurore, independent nurse
"When we go to see customers very far away, we are not very profitable because we spend time on the road." Emmanuelle, midwife
This new offer is therefore fully in line with the Group's strategy to combine social inclusion, local roots and the transition to more sustainable mobility. To raise awareness of the CareMakers program among a wider audience, Renault Group partnered with Publicis to develop a campaign explaining the Renault Care Fleet offer:

CareMakers: an Inclusive Mobility Program with a Proven Track Record
CareMakers is Renault Group's solidarity mobility programme, launched in 2012, to enable people who are not eligible for a traditional car loan to access an affordable mobility solution. By relying on a network of local integration actors and financial partners (Adie and the "L'Institut de Microcrédit Parcours Confiance"), CareMakers supports financially constrained groups to facilitate access to or maintenance in employment.
By combining microcredit, solidarity rental, new or reconditioned vehicles at reduced prices and maintenance at cost rate, CareMakers aims to remove a major obstacle to employment: the lack of mobility. This scheme, which is part of Renault's sustainable development strategy focused on inclusion, has already enabled 4,000 beneficiaries to find or keep a job, making mobility a real lever for equal opportunities.
