Joint platform for Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi electric vehicles
- Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi will jointly develop a common platform for electric vehicles by 2020. This approach is part of a rationalization, and therefore cost reduction, policy aimed at strengthening the competitiveness of the Franco-Japanese group in an increasingly competitive environment (Volkswagen, Daimler, BMW and Chinese automakers are preparing a multitude of electric vehicles).
- The common platform will serve as the basis for a number of mid-range (C-segment) models, primarily SUVs, which includes the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Kadjar and the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. The goal is to manufacture two million electric vehicles between 2020 and 2025 using the new common platform, for a volume of 400,000 electric vehicles per year on average.
- In 2017, the group sold a total of 91,000 electric vehicles, an increase of 11% over 2016. The Nissan Leaf, which began selling in 2010, ranks first in the group's electric line, which also includes the Renault Zoe, the Renault Kangoo ZE, and the Nissan e-NV200.
- The Renault-Nissan Group's various brands aim to commercialize 12 new electric models by 2022, with the new common platform being a central element of their electric vehicle strategy .
