Give Me 5, practical projects in underprivileged neighbourhoods

Set up by Renault in 2022 to promote access to sporting activities, Give Me 5 is contributing to the construction and renovation of tennis courts in France, Brazil and Argentina. In France, Renault partnered with "Fête le Mur" an association set up by former tennis player Yannick Noah, to finance three new courts in underprivileged neighbourhoods in Marseille, Poitiers and Roubaix.

This year, Diane Parry and Casper Ruud are joining the list of Renault ambassadors, alongside Félix Auger-Aliassime, Diede de Groot and Luca Van Assche, present since 2023. Diane Parry, 21, is one of the rising stars of French women's tennis, while Norway's Casper Ruud, 25, is currently sixth in the official ATP rankings. He is a three-time Grand Slam finalist and winner of back-to-back Grand Slam titles in 2022 and 2023.

The five Renault ambassadors are involved in developing this social initiative for young people to continue promoting access to sporting activities in disadvantaged neighbourhoods. All ambassadors wear the Renault logo, embodying the brand's values and image.

 

Innovative and modern initiatives "by Renault"

Continuing its commitment to young people and sport, Renault is for the second year the title partner of the biggest junior tournament in South America, Roland-Garros Junior Series by Renault. This competition brings together the 16 best players under the age of 16 from 11 Latin American countries. The two winners will have the chance to take part in the Roland-Garros junior tournament scheduled from June 2nd to 8th.

This year, Renault is partnering the world's biggest eTennis tournament: Roland-Garros eSeries by Renault. The brand has thus chosen to accompany the great moments of mobile sports.

 

An electrified fleet for the Grand Slam

When Renault 5 was launched in 1972, it turned heads with its original and modern design. Its plastic bumpers, brightly coloured bodywork and headlights gave it a mischievous, almost human look. This year, four R5 vehicles from the 1970's have been retrofitted to run on electric power by The Originals Renault - La Collection, as part of their shuttle service within the Slam.

For the tournament, Renault is also providing a fleet of 180 vehicles, of which 88% are electrified including 70 Scenic E-Tech electrics, 30 Rafale E-Tech full hybrids, 40 Espace E- Tech full hybrids and 20 Austral E-Tech full hybrids.
