Description
The truck manufacturer Renault Trucks (Volvo Group) has announced that it is to hire 100 employees on permanent contracts by 2022 at its site in Blainville-sur-Orne (Calvados). The company wants to increase the production of electric trucks.
Currently, Renault Trucks employs 1,550 permanent staff and 600 temporary workers. The production capacity of the factory was 300 electric trucks every year. Since the summer of 2021, the company’s goal is to increase its production capacity to 2,000 electric vehicles per year, i.e., 9 per day.
A former recruitment announcement of 100 employees in 2018 in the same plant has been recorded in the ERM Database.
