Nissan plans to manufacture its all-new, all-electric successor to the compact Nissan Micra at the Renault ElectriCity center in France, where the retro-styled hatchback will serve to kick off the next phase of Nissan’s 2030 roadmap to electrification – but the news doesn’t end there. Nissan, Mitsubishi, and French carmaker, Renault, have tightened their corporate alliances and committed to investing more than 23 billion Euro to build new EVs, and advance Nissan’s progress towards solid-state batteries.
Just eighteen months after it announced a new “cooperation business model,” the Renault Nissan Mitsubishi Alliance says it’s built solid foundations that benefit all three partners, and teased the upcoming Nissan Micra EV compact as part of a sweeping announcement outlining big goals, big factories, and really big investments from all three companies.
“This all-new model will be designed by Nissan and engineered and manufactured by Renault using our new common platform,” said Nissan Chief Operating Officer Ashwani Gupta. “(We are) maximizing the use of our Alliance assets while maintaining its Nissan-ness.”
The Alliance’s joint press release also announced plans to invest 23 billion euros over the next five years to support its “offensive” electrification strategy and supercharge Nissan’s efforts to develop a new, solid-state battery technology that could give them a competitive edge in the EV space against other automotive giants like Ford and GM.
Some of the other highlights of the Renault Nissan Mitsubishi “Common Roadmap Alliance 2030” announcement are included here:
“Among the world’s automotive leaders, the Renault Nissan Mitsubishi Alliance is a proven, unique model,” said Jean-Dominique Senard, Chairman of the Alliance. “Today the Alliance is accelerating to lead the mobility revolution and deliver more value to customers, our people, our shareholders and all our stakeholders. The three member-companies have defined a common roadmap towards 2030 … these are massive investments that none of the three companies could make alone.”
35 NEW EVS IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS
Starting with the new Nissan Micra (shown, at top), the Renault Nissan Mitsubishi Alliance brands will unveil 35 new, fully electric vehicles between now and 2030, with most of these models being built on just five common EV platforms. The Alliance claims these platforms will covering most market needs, “in all major regions.”
The companies released the following outline that summarizes the new common EV platforms, with the CMF-EV platform that currently underpins the Nissan Ariya EV will account for as many as 15 of the 35 planned new launches.
Alliance chairman Senard also highlighted plans for the three member carmakers to go fully carbon neutral in terms of manufacturing and transport by the year 2050
