[News-Oxcart Network]

Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi held an alliance digital conference today to announce their common goals and investments in the electrification transformation.

Key information:

Over the next five years, the three companies will jointly invest 25 billion euros in electrification;

The goal is to increase the utilization rate of the GM platform from 60% to 80% of the 90 models by 2026; by 2030, 35 new pure electric models will be released, of which 90% will be developed based on 5 GM electric vehicle platforms;

At present, the alliance only has two electric platforms, CMF-EV and CMF-AEV, and a new CMF-BEV platform will be launched in 2024;

By 2030, the number of models developed based on CMF-EV will be expanded from 2 to more than 15, covering 5 major brands, and production is expected to reach 1.5 million units per year;

In terms of batteries, the alliance aims to reduce battery costs by 50% by 2026 and 65% by 2028. Nissan is currently working on the development of all-solid-state batteries, and is expected to mass-produce in 2028, when the production costs of electric vehicles and fuel vehicles will be basically flat;

Through expansion, we aim to achieve a global battery production capacity of 220GWh by 2030;

In terms of intelligence, Renault will develop a new centralized electrical and electronic architecture, and at the same time, the alliance will take the lead in introducing the Google ecosystem;

The first full software-defined vehicle is expected to be launched by 2025.

Comments:

After Ghosn's arrest, the three parties of the "Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi" alliance have always struggled at the level of self-protection, and as more and more peers aim at the time of the industry's great changes in 2025 and 2030, the "world's largest" automakers that once created a myth of 10.61 million sales had to reunite.

However, old friends in Europe and Asia are competing for road fortresses to 2030, and the unity of the tripartite alliance is long overdue, how far is it to return to the "world's largest"?
