Ampere and power, new independent structures

After entities by brand, premises for subjects by type of activity. Dubbed Revolution, this new plan involves the creation of two new “business units”. Or “structures” to independently manage various activities of the group. The first of them Ampere, will be dedicated to electrical and software research and development. Power, meanwhile, will run on thermal and hybrid architectures.

Dividing the engines into two main types allows each to have its own control team and special teams. To be able to develop them independently. Then it will be for Renault, Dacia or Alpine models, to choose Amps or Power. for restore technologies for one or another model. Since the creation of the Ampere and in anticipation of the R5, R4 and Scénic Electric, The Mégane E-Tech has already benefited from the operation of this new structure.
