has fine-tuned its future plans and it is up to a lot. The Groupe Renault brands are planning a lot in South America and India, but it also has irons in the fire for the European market.
Groupe Renault recently reformed its power structure and is now broadly announcing what it plans to do in the coming years. Renault reiterates that Mitsubishi has based the new ASX on the Captur and that the new Colt will follow this year. That new Colt will soon be basically a Clio-with-Mitsubishi badges, but there is more to come. For example, Renault reaffirms that Nissan is developing a new electric B-segmenter that will be placed on the CMF-BEV platform, a basis on which the reborn and electric Renault 5 uses. The new small electric Nissan may be called Micra and has already been shown quite well in an earlier teaser image.
It is also known that Nissan will get its own version of the Renault FlexEVan, an electric modular commercial vehicle intended for last-mile delivery. So short distances. But Renault and Nissan may go even further. For example, the companies say they are investigating whether and how they can collaborate on the development of a completely new generation of electric C-segmenters. So compact mid-sized cars. It would concern electric cars that should enter the European market ‘after 2026’. They are also looking into whether it is possible to supply EVs with 800v on-board voltage. In addition, Groupe Renault and Nissan say they are considering rolling out a charging network to be developed together, consisting of charging points at Renault and Nissan dealers.
Outside of Europe
The world is a lot bigger than Europe and Groupe Renault is also planning a lot outside our continent. For example, it will develop a new light halfton pick-up of which Nissan will also receive a version. It may be the successor to the Duster Oroch. In addition, it wants to continue the existence of the Renault Alaskan – in fact a Nissan Navara / Frontier.
But there is more news to report. Nissan will produce a model for Renault in Mexico and Nissan and Renault even have an electric A-segmenter for the Central and South American market in the pipeline.
The Indian market will be bombarded with new SUVs from Renault and Nissan in the coming years and there will be a Nissan variant of this Renault Triber. Nissan and Groupe Renault are also considering launching an electric A-segmenter in India.
