France's Groupe Renault is teaming with domestic start-up Neoline to develop cargo sailing ships for transatlantic operation.
The companies said they will build two wind-powered vessels by 2020 and 2021 to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and greenhouse gases.
It will run them between Saint-Nazaire in France, the east coast of the US and the French islands of Saint-Pierre & Miquelon off Canada.
