Ampere

It's an understatement to say that the battery is a key component of the electric vehicle value chain! And battery chemistry is itself a determining aspect: the cost and availability of its components, the range it allows, no equation today allows us to think of the unique battery that will meet all the challenges, so it's a question of compromise. Using multiple technologies, depending on the stakes, is a strong response: this is why Ampere has just announced a very ambitious battery plan, combining several technologies, relying on four key partners to offer our customers (and their vehicles) the most appropriate choices. I was delighted to contribute to this article, written in collaboration with Gilles Le Borgne, which I hope will further enlighten you on the challenges of battery chemistry and the solutions we are implementing, today and in the near future. Happy reading!

What's the advantage of being an EV pure player with an open model based on partnerships with the best in their fields? 👉 We innovate quickly, produce efficiently, and stay responsive to market volatility and ever-evolving technologies. Once again, we're proving the benefits of this approach. 📢 Today, we're proud to announce that we're revolutionizing Renault Group’s battery strategy to reduce battery costs, and consequently, vehicle costs. How? - By integrating LFP chemistry alongside NMC batteries and creating an integrated value chain in Europe to ensure efficiency and affordability. - In collaboration with LG Energy Solution, we're developing a ‘Cell-to-pack’ technology. This groundbreaking innovation, a global first for 'pouch' type batteries, increases the range of vehicles equipped with LFP chemistry by incorporating more cells and thus more energy in a given space. The ‘Cell-to-pack’ technology also contributes to reducing battery costs.   Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dkpdGnw6 #Battery #EuropeanChampion #EV

🏆 Renault Scenic E-Tech 100% Electric: Car of the Year 2024! 🚗 Our #Ampere teams were thrilled to witness this prestigious trophy, celebrating the collaborative efforts behind this monumental achievement.   After Guyancourt, Boulogne-Billancourt, Douai, Ruitz, Cléon where Ampere Teams played a pivotal role in delivering an Amazing Scenic E-Tech, this tour comes to an end with our software Teams in Toulouse and Sophia Antipolis.   From integrating 30 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to pioneering Safety Coach technology, recognized by Sécurité routière, and introducing the state-of-the-art OpenRLink system powered by Google, our teams have redefined human-machine interface and automotive innovation.   Built on the robust AmpR Medium platform, the Scenic comes to life at our ElectriCity plant in Douai, France. This assembly hub symbolizes our commitment to sustainable manufacturing and showcases our dedication to fostering safer, more inclusive mobility solutions. With its launch, the Renault Scenic E-Tech sets a new standard for electric family cars in Europe, championing a future of sustainable, safe, and accessible mobility. 🌍 A heartfelt congratulations to all the teams from Technocentre in Guyancourt, Sophia Antipolis and Toulouse whose dedication and expertise have made this remarkable accomplishment possible!    Henry Bzeih Luciano Biondo Christian Stein Philippe Brunet Gilles Vidal Olivier BROSSE Josep Maria Recasens Estelle Guillot-Tantay Gilles Le Borgne Fabrice Cambolive 

#Ampere is proud to build Renault 5 E-Tech electric. #R5 has been engineered with Ampere technologies, which includes AmpR Small, our new generation EV native platform. R5 features new innovative technologies born from the Renaulution: Reno, the official Renault avatar with a real personality but also a bidirectional charger - feeding carbon-free electricity back into the grid.

Few days ago, a dozen Spanish media visited #ElectriCity, the #Ampere hub gathering three plants in the North of France. A unique industrial cluster dedicated to electric vehicles, with a best-in -class ecosystem spanning the entire value chain. They discovered: - Maubeuge plant which is preparing the production of the future R4, and produces the new generation of Kangoo, for Renault and its partners Nissan and Mercedes. - Ruitz is home to the Minth Electricity Technology JV, which produces battery cases but also machining collections of pieces for Renault automatic gearboxes. - Douai which went 100% electric a year ago with Megane E-Tech and is now starting to produce Scenic, Car of The Year 2024. They had a sneak-peak of the production of #R5, as the first pre-series can be seen on the lines, preparing sales for next fall. This tour was a great opportunity to show how connected and agile ElectriCity is, working to be as competitive as factories in Eastern Europe by 2025 with 400,000 electric vehicles, the achievement of net zero carbon and the constantly drive down costs.

Renault 5 E-Tech electric is made in France, at Ampere ElectriCity - the leading hub for industrial EV excellence in northern France. This ecosystem allows #Ampere to produce competitive vehicles for Renault, relying on a unique platform dedicated to small electric vehicles - AmpR Small. Learn how below.

AmpR Small powers Renault 5 E-Tech Electric. Announced in February at the Geneva International Motor Show, #R5 is the first vehicle to be developed entirely on this new #Ampere platform, dedicated to B-segment electric vehicles. Discover now how AmpR Small is setting a new benchmark in automotive EVs.

Our CEO Luca de Meo shared with European key opinion leaders his #LetterToEurope. This period of unprecedented transformations for the automotive industry require innovative & pragmatic solutions. That’s all the point of creating #Ampere: relying of more than 120 years of automotive expertise, but reinventing totally the way we are doing things to lead EV transition.

#Ampere is in Geneva! We're proud to be on the #Renault stand all week - showcasing the innovative Ampere technologies that make Renault 5 E-Tech electric unique.    This EV & technology adventure features the best of Ampere, made in France:  - A vehicle manufactured in Ampere ElectriCity, the leading industrial hub for EV excellence  - featuring a completely integrated manufacturing ecosystem. - A software made with the best partners, like Google. - World class technologies, from AmpR Small, our new generation EV platform to the V2G bidirectional charger that sends back energy to the grid in partnership with Mobilize.   Congrats to all the Ampere teams for making this pop icon a reality. #Renault5 will now democratize EV in Europe!   #GIMS2024

Discover how Ampere technologies power the Renault 5 E-Tech electric, set for a World Premiere at the Geneva International Motor Show on February 26th on the Renault booth.
