PARIS, April 30 (Reuters) - French car maker Renault Group's Chairman Jean-Dominique Senard said on Thursday that he will not seek a new term at the end of his current term in spring 2027.

"I will not stay on for one term too many, and I will make it my priority to ensure an orderly succession, guided by a single obsession: safeguarding the interests of the company and its teams," he said at the Renault shareholders' meeting.

The announcement confirms an earlier report by Reuters. 

A former top executive at tyre manufacturer Michelin, Senard was appointed as Renault chairman in 2019.
