Yinson GreenTech, a leading green technology solutions provider, has unveiled the Hydromover 2.0 through its marine electrification solutions business, marinEV. The all-new vessel boasts longer range, faster charging time and larger cargo capacity, while integrating the next wave of digitalisation and electrification technology in maritime operations, setting a new benchmark for zero-emissions cargo transfers in ports worldwide.

Building on the success of the Hydromover prototype, Singapore’s first fully electric cargo vessel launched in November 2023, the latest Hydromover 2.0 introduces multiple key features, including increased energy storage capacity, an advanced hull form that minimises drag, and a redesigned electrical architecture to reduce power loss. These improvements translate into a threefold increase in range that can cover all anchorages within Singapore’s port limits. Fully charged in under two hours, the vessel ensures high uptime and reliability for daily operations. The Hydromover 2.0 also boasts 25% more cargo capacity and a 75% larger deck space, supporting greater cargo consolidation, efficiency, and flexibility in port operations. 

The Hydromover 2.0 also represents a major step forward in Yinson GreenTech’s vision to combine electrification and digitalisation in maritime operations. Beyond its zero-emission propulsion, the vessel fully integrates marinEV’s Marine Digital Platform, enabling real-time analytics, route optimisation, automated vessel management, and data-driven decision-making. This powerful combination of clean energy and smart technology positions the Hydromover 2.0 as a catalyst for transforming traditional port operations into connected, efficient, and intelligent ecosystems – setting a new benchmark for sustainable maritime logistics in Singapore and globally. See Annex A for detailed specifications.

At the launch event, Yinson GreenTech signed its first bareboat charter agreements with Yacht International UAE, marking a significant milestone in the vessel’s entry into the maritime market. Deliveries of the Hydromover 2.0 vessels to United Arab Emirates (UAE) are expected to be completed by mid-2026. Additionally, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was executed between Yinson GreenTech, Yacht International UAE, and Wilhelmsen Port Services to grow the adoption of electric vessels in ports throughout the UAE.

Jan-Viggo Johansen, Managing Director of marinEV, said:

“The all-new Hydromover 2.0 sets unprecedented standards for the modern maritime industry. At the same time, the signing of new agreements in the UAE marks a pivotal step forward for marinEV and Yinson GreenTech. Together, these milestones demonstrate our ability to move beyond innovation and into real-world deployment – taking proven electric vessel technology, connected IoT systems, and integrated digital platforms from Singapore to new markets. They reinforce our commitment to transforming port operations through the combined power of electrification and digitalisation, and to shaping a smarter, cleaner, and more connected maritime future.”

Prakash Vakkayil Bhaskaran, Chief Executive Officer of Yacht International LLC, commented:

“The launch of the Hydromover 2.0 marks a defining moment for the UAE maritime sector and for Yacht International. As operator of a fleet of 15 offshore support vessels & now one of the first operators to deploy fully electric vessels in the region, we are proud to contribute directly to the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 vision and Green Mobility initiatives. This project demonstrates that sustainable innovation and commercial efficiency can move hand in hand, setting a new benchmark for clean, smart, and responsible marine operations in our waters. This is more than a vessel launch — it is a statement of intent. The Hydromover 2.0 represents our commitment to shaping the next generation of marine logistics, powered by technology, data, and responsibility to our environment.”

Over the past four years, we have repositioned Sodexo as a pure-play food and services company. We have streamlined our portfolio, sharpened our focus on core activities, whilst continuing the transformation of our operating model. These efforts have set a strong foundation for sustainable performance.

Our Fiscal 2025 results reflect both the progress achieved and the operational challenges we faced, particularly in the U.S. For Fiscal 2026, we remain laser-focused on addressing these challenges, with clear action plans already underway.

The appointment of Thierry Delaporte as Chief Executive Officer marks the opening of a new chapter for Sodexo, with commercial acceleration and rigorous execution being our key priorities. I am confident that our new governance structure will support the Group’s next stage of development and long-term success.

I want to sincerely thank all Sodexo teams for their dedication and commitment. Their engagement has been essential in driving change and positioning the Group strongly for the future.
 

“In a highly challenging environment, we continue to capitalize on our compelling and competitive line-up – spanning electric, ICE, and hybrid vehicles – driving a 6.8% increase in Group revenue this quarter. We also benefited from the strong performance of Mobilize Financial Services, our financial captive, which remains a strategic asset for both current operations and the Group’s long-term ambitions. With the target to be the best in what we can control, we remain fully committed to our value over volume strategy, while maintaining strong focus on executing our cost-reduction roadmap. We confirm our full-year guidance, targeting a Group operating margin around 6.5% and free cash flow between €1.0bn and €1.5bn. In parallel, we are actively shaping our next mid-term plan, designed to accelerate the Group’s transformation and unlock future opportunities.” said Duncan Minto, Chief Financial Officer of Renault Group.

In the first 9 months of 2025, Dacia brand sold 521,387 vehicles worldwide, up 4.1% compared to the same period in 2024. In Europe, with 449,634 passenger cars sold (+5.3%), the brand maintained its 9^th position in the passenger cars market. It gained one place and was ranked 2^nd on the European podium for passenger cars sold to retail customers, the brand’s core customer base.

The brand posted a solid growth in the majority of European markets, with remarkable performances in Germany (+23.6%), Spain (+19.3%) and Belgium–Luxembourg (+37.5%). This momentum was largely driven by the success of Bigster, the second best-selling C-SUV since June in Europe on the retail market, which recorded 22,353 registrations during Q3 and more than 39,700 since the beginning of the year. It also registered more than 55,000 orders since its launch. Dacia Sandero confirms its success by being the best-selling vehicle in Europe, all distribution channels combined, with 66,233 units sold in Q3 and 218,089 units since January.

With Duster and Bigster, Dacia is accelerating the pace of its electrification^[11]. Hybrid sales more than doubled, now accounting for 20.9% of the brand’s Q3 sales (+9.1 points vs. 2024 Q3). Over the first nine months, Dacia’s hybrid sales jumped by 170.0%.

Alpine Brand

The A290, the recently launched electric sports city car, is now available in almost all of the brand’s countries, totaling 1,845 registrations over the period. The United Kingdom becomes the second largest market for the A290 after France. In addition, Alpine will soon open orders for the A390, its new electric sport fastback. The A110 maintained a solid momentum even if the orders of the current generation of A110   will close in the coming months before the arrival of the next generation 100% electric.

Third quarter revenue

Group revenue for 2025 Q3 amounted to €11,426 million, up 6.8% compared to 2024 Q3. At constant exchange rates^[12], Group revenue was up 8.5%.

Automotive revenue reached €9,816 million, up 5.0% compared to 2024 Q3. It included -1.8 points of negative exchange rates effect (-€167 million) mainly related to the devaluation of the Argentinean peso, the Turkish lira, the Brazilian real and the Korean won. At constant exchange rates¹, it increased by 6.8%. This evolution was mainly explained by the following:

• A positive volume effect of +3.2 points. The 9.8% increase in registrations was partly offset by a higher destocking of the independent dealer network over the quarter compared to 2024 Q3 (destocking by 72k units in 2024 Q3 vs. 98k units in 2025 Q3).
• A positive geographic mix of +1.0 point, notably explained by lower sales in Brazil in 2025 Q3 due to a focus on the most profitable channels combined with a high comparison base in 2024 Q3.
• A positive product mix effect of +0.9 points explained by the performance of both Renault and Dacia models mostly Bigster and Renault 5 E-Tech. The lower product mix effect compared to the previous quarters is mostly explained by the annualization impact of the launches from the previous year. Product mix in Q4 should be higher, benefiting from a stronger contribution of Bigster and Renault 5 E-Tech, and the ramp-up of Renault 4 E-Tech.
• A negative price effect of -0.8 points mainly due to the market conditions in Europe that remain challenging with commercial pressure. Some of the negative currency impacts were offset by price increases. As part of its value over volume policy, the Group maintains, in its pricing approach, a strong focus on residual values, which is a key competitive factor for the Group’s long-term performance.
• A positive sales to partners effect of +1.6 points, notably driven by programs with our partners and the impact of the integration of RNAIPL (Renault Nissan Automotive India Private Ltd) into the consolidation perimeter. On August 1^st, 2025, Renault Group completed the acquisition of the 51% stake in the Chennai plant (RNAIPL), previously held by Nissan.
• A positive ”Other” effect of +0.9 points, primarily related to the performance of Retail Renault Group (RRG) activity.

Mobility Services contributed €23 million to 2025 Q3 Group revenue compared to €14 million in 2024 Q3.

Mobilize Financial Services posted revenue of €1,587 million in 2025 Q3, up 18.4% compared to 2024 Q3, due to higher interest rates and to the increase of average performing assets (at €59.5 billion) which improved by 5.3% compared to 2024 Q3.

As of September 30, 2025, total inventories (including the independent network) represented 538,000 vehicles, a level in line with the normal seasonal evolution:

• Group inventories at 219,000 vehicles
• Independent dealer inventories at 319,000 vehicles

Looking forward into Q4, the Group expects the restocking at independent dealers to be well below the one recorded in 2024 Q4.

The high single-digit growth of the order intake in 2025 Q3 year-on-year is fueling the orderbook in Europe, which stood at 1.6 months at the end of September given the strong forward sales expected in Q4.  

2025 FY financial outlook

Renault Group confirms its 2025 financial outlook, updated on July 15, 2025:

• Group operating margin around 6.5%
• Free cash flow between €1.0 billion and €1.5 billion
