Nissan, Renault, Mitsubishi alliance to launch 35 new EVs by 2030

The alliance of Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors has said it will launch 35 new electric vehicles (EVs) by 2030, based on five common EV platforms.

Alliance Chairperson, Jean-Dominique Senard, said: “The three member-companies have defined a common roadmap towards 2030, sharing investments in future electrification and connectivity projects.

“These are massive investments that none of the three companies could make alone. Together, we are making the difference for a new and global sustainable future – the alliance becoming carbon neutral by 2050.”

The alliance said it has already invested more than €10billion in the field of electrification.

In the main markets of Europe, Japan, the US and China, 15 alliance plants produce parts, motors and batteries for ten EV models already on the street, with more than one-million EVs sold so far, and 30-billion e-kilometres driven.

Building on this, the alliance plans to accelerate its onslaught on the global EV market with an additional investment of €23-billion over the next five years, leading to 35 new EV models by 2030.
