Renault Trucks response re alleged use of Renault Trucks cars to facilitate human rights abuses in Darfur

As we are not delivering military parts or trucks we are not subject to...embargo...We tell...our customer that we are committed to comply with the regulations issued by the international community and that the vehicles supplied whatever their configuration...are civilian trucks only...In the report the word “Militarisable” is used as if it would be a proof that we know that the vehicles can be for sure used as military trucks. “Militarisable” doesn’t mean that it is “Militarisé”. Any vehicle...built as a civilian vehicle could transport at a point in its life passengers with arms, that doesn’t change it into a “military” trucks, if the structure, the equipment, the protection hasn’t been modified in view of such use. End users: We do not control the end use of our trucks. It doesn’t mean that we are uninterested in it. Which industry, which supplier can be sure of the use of their product: for example a truck sold to a farmer for transporting grain could carry bricks, by this farmer or by a second hand owner. We would like to know that our trucks are useful to society.
