Launching 35 new battery-powered models by 2030: this is the goal of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance supported by a roadmap focused on purely electric vehicles and connected mobility. To achieve this, the three companies will invest 23 billion euros over the next five years, which will be added to the 10 billion allocated to promote their green turning point with 10 zero-emission models already placed on the market.

“Today the Alliance is accelerating to lead the mobility revolution and offer more value to customers, our people, our shareholders and all our stakeholders”, said the president Jean-Dominique Senard, reiterating as the basis of the roadmap ” Alliance 2030 ”there is a sharing of investments in future projects that none of the three companies could do alone. In addition to an operational line according to which “a certain technology is developed by a team leader with the support of followers, in order to allow each member of the Alliance to access all key technologies”.

One example is the common platform for vehicles in segments C and D which will be used for five models of three brands (Nissan Qashqai and X-Trail, Mitsubishi Outlander, Renault Austral and an upcoming 7-seater SUV). Or the opportunity for Mitsubishi to relaunch itself in European markets by taking advantage of two new models including the new ASX, twinned with the corresponding vehicles, by category, of Renault.

In fact, the use of common architectures in the Alliance will increase in the next few years from 60% today to over 80% of its 90 models combined in 2026. This will allow each brand not only to respond in the best way to the needs of its customers. , but also to cut production costs as much as possible. With 90% of new electric vehicles arriving for 2030 based on five common platforms: the Cmf-Aev (base of the Dacia Spring), the Kei-Ev for ultracompact electric vehicles, the Lcv-Ev for light commercials, the Cmf -Ev (from which the Nissan Ariya and Renault Megane E-Tech Electric are born) which will be the basis of over 15 models for 1.5 million units a year and the Cmf-Bev, arriving in 2024, for production 250,000 cars a year of the Renault, Alpine and Nissan brands. Including the new Renault R5 and the successor to the Nissan Micra produced, the latter in the Renault ElectriCity industrial hub in northern France.

The acceleration in the Alliance’s strategy also concerns batteries for which the goal is to reduce battery costs by 50% in 2026 and 65% by 2028, thanks to closer collaboration between the three manufacturers and the choice of moment of a single supplier, the Chinese Envision AESC, for Renault and Nissan in the main markets.

The point of arrival is a capacity of 220 GWh and Nissan has been entrusted with the task of developing the technologies to be able to mass produce solid state batteries (Assb) by mid-2028, so as to achieve cost parity with the endothermic vehicles reaching $ 65 per kWh. Finally, the Adas and connectivity services. The Alliance predicts that in 2026 it will have more than 10 million vehicles on the road, 45 models equipped with automated driving systems and 25 million cars connected to the Alliance Cloud system.
