Renault Group enters the third chpater of its Renaulution plan: Revolution
8 November 2022, 16:42:36

- Ampere: the first EV & Software pure player born from an OEM disruption.
- Alpine: a high-end zero-emission global brand with a racing pedigree. A unique asset-light model combined with proprietary technologies.
- Mobilize: built around a leading financial services company to enter the market of new mobility, energy and data-based services.
- The Future Is NEUTRAL: the first 360° circular economy company in the automotive industry from closed loop in materials to battery recycling.
- Power:the traditional core business of Renault Group will continue to develop innovative low emissions ICE & hybrid vehicles under the Renault, Dacia and Renault LCV brands, each with their dedicated organization and governance. To reinforce and project this part of the business into the future, we announce the creation of a leading worldwide Tier 1 supplier of ICE & hybrid powertrain technologies (Horse project).
Based in France, Ampere will be a full-fledged OEM with around 10,000 employees. As a tech company, Ampere will drive innovation with around 3,500 engineers, half of them specialized in software.
Before 2030, Ampere's line-up of 6 electric cars will be ideally positioned on the fastest-growing segments in Europe covering 80% of the EV mainstream profit pool: the B segment with the new Renault 5 Electric and Renault 4 Electric, and the C segment with Megane E-tech Electric, Scénic Electric and 2 other vehicles to be revealed. A large portion of the investments of the first 4 vehicles has already been spent.
Ampere targets to produce around 1 million EVs for the Renault brand in 2031. Ampere is a growth story, with above 30% of compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in the 10 years to come.
Ampere relies on 3 tech backbones making it unique in the EV and software ecosystem:
- A high-tech and top-competitive manufacturing footprint: ElectriCity, already one of the major and most competitive EV production poles in Europe: in 2025, a vehicle will be produced in less than 10 hours. 400k units production capacity from day 1, scalable to 1 million leveraging other Renault Group facilities, ElectriCity also offers a unique local ecosystem with 80% of the suppliers within 300km.
- A European EV value chain: Ampere is partnering with the most relevant players to access to know-how, to secure sustainable supply and to gain visibility and control on costs and performance. Thanks to its European-based supply chain, Ampere will secure the supply for more than 80 GWh required for its cars by 2030. From 10% coverage of the EV value chain in 2020, it is now above 30% and will reach 80% by 2030.
- A breakthrough Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) technology: SDV is the future of the automotive industry, allowing the car to be constantly upgradable throughout its lifecycle, learning from its users, and keeping the vehicle linked from cradle to grave to the OEM. To launch its first open and horizontal SDV in 2026, Renault Group has built deep partnerships with 2 major tech players:
- Qualcomm Technologies to co-develop high-performance computing platforms based on Snapdragon Digital Chassis solutions for the Centralized Electronic Architecture. This includes System on Chip and low layers software in addition to features, in-car services and applications. Qualcomm Technologies, or one of its affiliates, intends to invest in the Renault Group's dedicated electric and software company Ampere.
- Google with whom the collaboration includes an Android-based platform for Software-Defined Vehicle and cloud software to enable a SDV digital twin .
These partnerships will enable Renault Group to reduce costs, improve efficiency, flexibility and speed of vehicle developments, and increase value for end-users thanks to continuous software innovation and updates.
Over the past two years, Alpine has had a rebirth, capitalizing on its iconic A110 sports coupé and on its entry into Formula 1, where it aims to become a championship contender. Today, Alpine is a true high-end brand, a full-fledged OEM, asset-light, tech focused, a team of 2,000 people, of which 50% are engineers. Being part of the Group ensures Alpine access to Ampere EV and Software technological assets. Looking forward, Alpine will leverage commercial partnerships and investors support to accelerate its growth and international expansion.
Alpine is developing a brand-new line-up that will fuel its growth and international ambitions. It will be full-electric from 2026. By then, Alpine will also reveal the next A110, and 2 new models: a B-hatchback and a C+ crossover. Alpine then plans to launch two D and E segments cutting-edge cars to support its international expansion. As a result, we expect half of Alpine’s growth to come from new markets beyond Europe including potentially North America and China.
