Renault unveils new hybrid powertrains for Symbioz and Espace
Renault has launched two new-generation full hybrid E-Tech powertrains, enhancing the performance of the Symbioz and Espace models. These new powertrains were developed by Horse Powertrain, a joint venture between Renault Group, Geely and Aramco. The new powertrains are claimed to offer improved performance and lower emissions, addressing the growing demand for eco-friendly automotive solutions. The 160hp version of the E-Tech powertrain on the Symbioz emits 98g/km of CO2 for 4.3 litres/100km WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure). With 4.8 litres/100km and 108 g/km of CO2, the Espace is claimed to be an 'equally strong performer' with its 200hp powertrainand optimised gear changing. The full hybrid E-Tech 160hp 1.8-litre powertrain is available on Captur, and as of this year on Symbioz. It combines a combustion engine with two electric motors powered by a 1.4 kWh battery and an intelligent multi-mode clutchless dogbox. The upgraded 1.8-litre engine develops 80kW, and is claimed to offer better performance with increased torque and lower fuel consumption. The powertrain features a high-pressure (350 bar) direct-injection system and operates on an Atkinson cycle for enhanced efficiency. The Renault Symbioz, launched in 2024, integrates C-segment technologies with compact dimensions and spacious interiors. According to the company, Symbioz has become 'one of the top ten best-selling' SUVs in France, offering a boot space of up to 624 litres and a range of high-tech features. The Symbioz's new powertrain significantly improves acceleration and extends its range to up to 1,000 km. The new Renault Espace maintains its reputation as a long-distance traveller with a spacious and modular interior, stated the company. It features a contemporary design based on the brand's 'new design language' and reduces aerodynamic noise through technical improvements. Available as a five- or seven-seater, the Espace is claimed to offer 'best-in-class' load capacity and technology, including the largest Solarbay opacifying roof in the Renault range.

Eutelsat and France's Armed Forces Ministry Reach Landmark Framework Agreement for Low Orbit Satellite Services in the Context of Frances' NEXUS Program
Signaling a strategic evolution in France's space strategy, combining military and civilian resources Underscoring the crucial role of low Earth orbit (LEO) constellations in defense applications Providing strategic in-space resources in advance of the availability of the IRIS² constellation PARIS, June 18, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: Eutelsat (ISIN: FR0010221234 - Euronext Paris / London Stock Exchange: ETL) and France's armed forces ministry (Direction générale de l'armement) have today announced a landmark framework agreement on the occasion of the Paris Airshow. The agreement is the embodiment of the NEXUS (Neo-Espace pour de multiples Usages Sécurisés) program launched by the French Ministry of Defence, which aims to reinforce the current French military space communications model by combining military and civilian resources. France reaffirms its commitment to the European IRIS² program, which has been supported from the outset since the French Presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2022. However, the urgency of the international situation means that it cannot wait until then. As the first concrete step in the NEXUS project, the French defense procurement agency (DGA) has reached a 10-year framework agreement, valued at up to €1 billion in expenditure, with Eutelsat, covering the supply of priority-access space resources (notably capacity on Eutelsat's OneWeb LEO constellation), the hosting of ancillary missions for the French armed forces, and operational and security maintenance. The agreement also covers the upgrading and securing of the constellation for military grade use. Jean-Francois Fallacher, Chief Executive Officer of Eutelsat commented: "We are honored at the prospect of supporting the French armed forces through this historic agreement, which underscores the crucial role of low earth orbit satellite capacity in responding to the requirements of contemporary operational theaters. Eutelsat today offers the only commercially operated LEO constellation capable of meeting stringent military standards ahead of the deployment of IRIS². It provides global coverage, low latency, rapid deployment, and adaptability to mobile use cases, attributes validated by successful large-scale experiments conducted with the French Armed Forces." About Eutelsat Group Eutelsat Group is a global leader in satellite communications, delivering connectivity and broadcast services worldwide. The Group was formed through the combination of the Company and OneWeb in 2023, becoming the first fully integrated GEO-LEO satellite operator with a fleet of 35 Geostationary satellites and a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation of more than 600 satellites. The Group addresses the needs of customers in four key verticals of Video, where it distributes more than 6,500 television channels, and the high-growth connectivity markets of Mobile Connectivity, Fixed Connectivity, and Government Services. Eutelsat Group's unique suite of in-orbit assets enables it to deliver integrated solutions to meet the needs of global customers.

Espace joins hands with UK firm to transform Omani urban development
By Gulam Ali Khan Muscat – Espace Engineering Consultants, one of the sultanate's leading multidisciplinary design and engineering firms, has formed a strategic partnership with UK-based Formation Architects, a renowned London practice with extensive experience in residential, commercial, hospitality, and masterplanning projects. This collaboration marks Formation Architects' first formal entry into the Omani market, and the London-based firm sees it as a strategic move aligned with its broader ambition to expand into the Middle East by partnering with a strong local player. Espace – which has successfully delivered many institutional projects across Oman since its establishment in 2008 – has been at the forefront of engineering and architectural innovation. The company's multidisciplinary team provides comprehensive design and engineering services across the sultanate and the wider region. The partnership will leverage Espace's local expertise and Formation Architects' international design capabilities to target large-scale, mixed-use development projects and housing initiatives in the Omani market. Commenting on their partnership with Formation Architects, Mohamed al Khonji, Managing Director of Espace Engineering Consultants, said, 'At Espace, we believe that collaborating with an esteemed practice like Formation Architects brings real value to Oman's ongoing urban development. Their international expertise, particularly in masterplanning, residential and commercial projects, will not only help shape our towns and cities but also offer meaningful opportunities for the younger Omani generation to learn and grow through exposure to global best practices.' According to Khonji, the strategic alliance allows each company to retain its independence while working closely on project tenders and delivery. Under this partnership, Espace will continue acting as the main consultant or contractor, with Formation Architects serving as the design partner – particularly on mixed-use developments that require innovative design approaches and international standards of planning. A team of senior officials from Formation Architects is visiting Oman this week. Alongside Espace's leadership, they will meet with developers and other stakeholders to present their partnership as a forward-thinking solution to Oman's evolving architectural and urban development needs. Adding further significance to their entry into Omani market, Tim Quick, Director and Trustee of Formation Architects, will deliver a keynote presentation on May 20th at the Oman Real Estate Conference & Exhibition and Oman Design & Build Week, taking place from May 19 to May 21 at the Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre in Muscat. Quick's presentation, titled 'Transformation and Continuity: Lessons from London', will explore how global design practices can offer contextualised solutions for cities such as Muscat while remaining respectful of cultural and societal frameworks. The talk aligns with the conference's theme, 'New Frontiers for State-of-the-Art Mega Developments'. Commenting on their partnership, Quick said, 'Every time I visit Oman, I'm struck by the country's incredible potential. We hope that by working with such a prestigious local partner, we can help unlock some of that potential.' Espace and Formation Architects have already begun submitting joint tenders for mixed-use developments that include residential, commercial, hospitality, and cultural facilities. These large-scale proposals support Oman's national vision to build new towns, revitalise existing urban areas, and develop infrastructure that promotes economic diversification and sustainable growth. While Formation Architects brings decades of award-winning experience from working in the dynamic London market – often considered a testing ground for complex, mixed-use developments – Espace contributes invaluable local insight, grounded project execution, and regulatory acumen. Together, they embody a powerful blend of international design intelligence and regional relevance, tailored specifically for Oman's built environment. Both companies' senior officials believe that the significance of the Espace–Formation Architects partnership goes beyond commercial synergy. It introduces a new model of international-local collaboration, distinct from traditional foreign-led joint ventures. In this partnership, Formation Architects integrates as a true international design partner, working hand-in-hand with an established Omani consultancy that understands how to navigate the local urban landscape and deliver projects at scale. Both companies are confident that as Oman advances its development goals – particularly in the housing and mega-project sectors under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning – this partnership will become a significant contributor to shaping the sultanate's future cities and urban development.
