Renault: Customer Story Key Figures
Improve power reliability
Reduce carbon footprint and eliminate SF6 from MV switchgear
Lower cybersecurity risks
Why is pure-air MV the optimal option to move away from SF₆?
As electrification increases and renewable penetration grows, so does the need for more medium voltage switchgear. This equipment commonly uses SF6 gas with a global warming potential of 24,300, so industries, buildings, and grids must transition to green alternatives. Pure-air MV is quickly emerging as the superior choice.

The Challenge
- Sustainability Renault needed to eliminate greenhouse gases from its operations to meet the factory’s sustainability goals.
- Power reliability: Power outages have serious consequences for the factory, including stopping production and causing financial losses.
- Cybersecurity A potential breach of electronic data safety could halt operations and lead to equipment damage since equipment management and monitoring require 24/7 connectivity.
The Solution
Connected Products: SM AirSeT, green and digital MV switchgear
Renault chose to use our innovative SF6-free MV switchgear to eliminate the need for the greenhouse gas SF6 in its Flins factory’s MV network. In addition to improving sustainability, SM AirSet addresses Renault’s cybersecurity, reliability, and maintenance concerns because its digital innovations allow remote monitoring, improve safety, and reduce outage concerns.
The Results
- Digital and green solutions support the factory’s circular economy targets.
- Installing, dismantling, handling, and recycling of MV switchgear is easier and more cost-efficient by eliminating SF₆ use.
- Digital innovations support remote equipment monitoring and installation management, production monitoring, forecasting, maintenance planning, and remote training on advanced technologies.
- Cybersecurity is more robust because protection is integrated into the technical solutions.
