Under their automotive alliance, the three brands will invest a staggering 23 billion Euros (over Php1.3 trillion) in the next five years to develop and produce the EVs, which will mostly be divided among five common platforms: 

  • CMF-AEV, said to be the most affordable EV platform in the world
  • KEI-EV – platform for ultra-compact EVs
  • LCV-EV – intended for professional/business customers 
  • CMF-EV – flexible global EV platform featuring a modular format
  • CMF-BEV – coming in 2024 as the world’s most competitive compact EV platform     

The CMF-EV platform is already shared by both the Nissan Ariya electric compact and Renault Megane E-Tech Electric subcompact crossovers. At least 15 models are expected to be based on this platform by 2030, with up to 1.5 million units produced on an annual basis.  

Meanwhile, the CMF-BEV platform is touted to have a maximum range of 400 kilometers and outstanding aerodynamic performance, all while cutting costs by 33 percent and increasing power by 10 percent compared to the Renault Zoe electric small hatchback. It will underpin the upcoming production version of the Renault 5 concept car, and will be shared by Renault, Alpine, and Nissan across 250,000 units a year.  

The mass-produced version of the Renault 5 Concept will have up to 400 kilometers of range 

To date, the Alliance has already invested 10 billion Euros (over Php 571.5 billion) in the EV market. Its 15 plants in Europe, Japan, the U.S., and China already manufacture parts, motors, and batteries for 10 EV models. More than 1 million of these have been sold so far, logging a cumulative 30 billion e-kilometers driven on the road.  

Along with plans to enhance the use of a common platform on more models by 2026, the Alliance also aims to equip more than 10 million units across 45 models with autonomous driving systems. It also intends to mass-produce solid-state batteries for EV use by mid-2028.
