Renault-Nissan unveils its first modular plateform
- Following the example of Volkswagen and PSA, Renault-Nissan has unveiled its modular platform. By 2020, over 75% of vehicles produced by Renault and Nissan will use one of three families of common architectures (CMF) developed by the Alliance.
- This strategy is similar to that used by Volkswagen named MQB, is called CMF (Common Module Family) in Renault-Nissan, and is to create common architectures for vehicles of different segments.
- The first CMF concern vehicles from segments C and D and will be opened by Nissan by the end of 2013 with its new Rogue, Qashqai and X-Trail. The first Renault vehicles (Espace, Scenic and Laguna) will be marketed late 2014 and eight other Renault models will emerge later with the first CMF.
- A total of 14 Renault and Nissan vehicles represent in the long term a volume of 1.6 million units per year worldwide. Between 2015 and 2016, two other families of CMF will be deployed to cover the A and B segments (including the Dacia) and E and F segments.
- Today, Renault and Nissan have twenty different platforms and the group's goal is to reduce by half this number, three of which represent more than 75% of the vehicles produced by the group.
