Is Renault Group planning to lighten its engineering workforce in its race to speed up development? ⬇ 🏎️ Renault has set an ambitious goal to drastically reduce the time needed to launch new models. With the "Leap 100" program, the French automaker aims to cut vehicle development time to just 100 weeks—under two years. This plan is part of the broader "Speed of Lightness" initiative, which seeks to double the pace of Renault's key processes. 🚗 The first test of this strategy will be the new electric Twingo, with development outsourced to a Chinese engineering firm. Renault is pushing for a competitive edge as it races to release the Twingo by 2026 at a starting price of €20k. 🔧 Renault intends to make this speed a new standard, applying the 100-week target across all future models. This includes the upcoming Dacia Sandero, which will feature both hybrid and electric versions. ⏳ The automaker faces pressure from Chinese competitors, who have been able to launch new models in two years. Renault’s rivals, like Volkswagen, are also adjusting their timelines in response. 💬 While faster development is essential in a highly competitive market, it raises concerns about the potential impact on Renault's workforce. Engineering processes might become leaner, but the effects on jobs remain to be seen as the company negotiates its future employment strategy. #automotive #strategy

[NEWS] Stellantis strikes back after dealer outcry: The automaker pushed back against dealers in response to a scathing open letter from its National Dealer Council. The letter’s biggest accusation? CEO Carlos Tavares is leading the company into “disaster.” Calling the letter a “public personal attack,” Stellantis said dealers should have these kinds of conversations behind closed doors. The automaker also defended its strategy — sales were up 20%+ MoM in Aug. Meanwhile, dealers claim these same policies have caused market share losses, layoffs, and a falling stock price. Bottom line: Tensions between dealers and OEMs are nothing new, but rarely are they so public. As dealers struggle to keep the faith — the automaker’s uphill battle just got steeper… Read today’s full car market analysis, presented by Edmunds: https://lnkd.in/gjJzwD6M (Data source: Reuters)

Renault Group (Euronext CAC40: RNO) pursues its electrification offensive. In line with customer needs, the Group has made technological choices that are paying off and is accelerating its efforts in terms of energy transition. Within the Renault brand, demand is growing for electrification – hybrid and all-electric. In Europe, the brand is stepping up its offensive, taking 3rd place in electrified vehicles thanks to Megane E-Tech electric, which has a 2.2% market share of all-electric vehicles, and the success of its hybrid powertrains for which demand is strongly increasing (Austral, Clio and Captur in the top 10 hybrid vehicles in Europe). ♻️ Renault brand growth of +9.4% with 1.548.748 vehicles sold worldwide in 2023. Renault is the best-selling French brand in the world. Renault recorded an excellent growth in Europe and outperformed the market with +19.3% increase compared to 2022. In Europe, the Group benefited from its products offensive by gaining market share, volumes up +18.6% in a market up +13.9%. Renault Group moves up to the 3rd place among car manufacturers in Europe, thanks to three strong, complementary, and value-creating brands. The Group’s retail sales represent 65% of its total sales in its five main countries in Europe, in line with the commercial policy focused on value. Proud of its international recognition, Renault is the best-selling French brand in the world. 🇫🇷 Read more at https://lnkd.in/eZuu-f-y #automotive #renault #electricvehicles #hybridvehicles #design #brandstrategy #digital

Renault leading the way with certified conversions of diesel vans to fully electric. If more vehicle OEMs could take this path, we may actually stand a chance to phase out the combustion engine at a not-too-unreasonable pace. This can't be cost-efficient, you may say. Well, today e-retrofits are only viable in niche markets, but things are changing quickly. By 2030, we expect to have cheaper batteries, higher CO2 taxes and more zero-emission zones. That means the car, van or truck that makes sense to buy in a combustion engine configuration today, may be worth significantly more six years from now as a used vehicle if it is equipped with a 2030 electric powertrain, than a 2024 combustion engine. An OEM that today prepares their module systems for future e-retrofits can likely offer such conversions at a far lower future cost than competitors, meaning that customers will be better protected against accelerated value loss from changing external factors. https://lnkd.in/dttduSuX Thomas Nyström

The French market has seen growth in battery electric vehicle (BEV) registrations in the first eight months of this year. However, while the demand for BEVs among private retail customers in France continues to grow, with a 12% increase year-to-date as of August 2024, it has not expanded at the pace originally hoped for by vehicle manufacturers.

Shanzhai in reverse ? → Stellantis will distribute Leapmotor electric vehicles in Europe starting September 2024. → The joint venture, Leapmotor International, is majority-owned by Stellantis (51%). → Initial launch countries include Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Romania. → Plans to establish 200 sales outlets by the end of 2024, expanding to over 500 by 2026. → The move leverages Stellantis’ extensive retail distribution network and Leapmotor’s BEV technology. → Further expansion planned for South America, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific by late 2024. → The collaboration raises questions about the adoption of the “copycat” or “Shanzhai” strategy, as Stellantis aligns with a Chinese EV manufacturer. → It took decades of Shanzhai by Chinese auto companies to learn and innovate. Will Western automakers flip the script and play the other side ? 🤔 Source: https://lnkd.in/eFbfcTvH, https://lnkd.in/ewnF_Xt6 #AutomotiveIndustry #EVs #Stellantis #Leapmotor #Innovation #Shanzhai

🤑 Could we put levels to the progress of SDVs? A difficult task, as it’s a super complex environment 😱 As always, just my personal perspective 🙋‍♂️. Leave a comment, if you disagree or want to add your thoughts 💭. Quick reminder 🌟: 👉 SDV approaches are the North Star 🌟 of most traditional OEMs (Renault Group, Stellantis, etc.) selected challenger OEMs like NIO, XPENG, Rivian, Tesla are already far ahead 🏃🏼‍♂️. 👉 The SDV approach is a tool to enable customer focused solutions - over the whole vehicle 🚗 lifetime. 👉 Here starts the challenge: ✅ New OEMs start on the SDV stage with the right mindset but don’t need to manage complexity of previous projects. ❗️ Traditional OEMs need to keep their “lower” stages evolving and at the same time master the complex 🚨 tasks linked to SDVs and shifting to customer focus 🧘 first. — Where are we along the path to SDVs & beyond 🤷? 👉 A classification should be driven by customer benefits, not technology or product: 🔘 Non-connected but SW enabled cars 🚘: Think about the experience from 20 to 25 years ago. 🔘 Connected vehicles: Think about the vehicles that came to market around 10 years ago. 🔘 Smart cars: We see this type of vehicles 🚗 since ~5 years, like modern EVs and ICEs from traditional OEMs in the U.S. 🇺🇸, South Korea 🇰🇷, Europe 🇪🇺, Japan 🇯🇵. Buzz words are OTA, App stores, digital services 🤑. 🔘 SDVs: Modern vehicle portfolios by Nio, Tesla, Rivian, XPeng or Huawei. HW and SW is separated, customers are overwhelmed with digital cockpits and ADAS features. 🔘 Immersive SDVs on the horizon: Brands like Jiyue, Nio or Xiaomi Technology aim to bring the SDVs to a next level with integration of smart devices and life spheres in one ecosystem, new and multi sensory experiences. 👉 Homework 📚 needs to be done 🚨: 🔘 Keep in mind that just 27 to 38% of the global car park is connected as of today according to Strategy&. 🔘 Legacy OEMs like Kia Worldwide want to bring basic connectivity to 33 more countries until 2026, OTA enabled vehicles should increase by 13: https://lnkd.in/dtH_AHiw 👉 Getting ready for SDVs is a long way: 🔘 Let’s keep in mind 🚨, there will never be a binary shift to SDVs. Cars have a slow turnaround, so shift might be significantly slower than the shift to smartphones 🤳. 🔘 OEMs shifting per model. Existing platforms and related models might stick around for the next 10 to 15 years. 🔘 Legacy OEMs launch their first SDVs by the end of the decade. The Mercedes-Benz AG CLA and BMW Groups Neue Klasse are the first ones. Stellantis, Hyundai Motor Company (현대자동차), Volkswagen or Renault to follow. 👉 An OEM needs to change everything, starting from formation of a SDV ready organization, technology, decision making, budgeting, customer interactions, business models 💰. — ➡️ If you want to exchange with experts regarding your SDV strategy, technology decisions, business models, or implementation, let me know. #SDV #mobility #automotive

📈🚲🛴⚡In 2023, sales of e-bikes and electric scooters were wheel to wheel on the French market ! 👉 On on the 2 vehicle segments, we note a drop in volume sales in almost identical shares with juxtaposing curves. In 2023, within a few thousand units, more electric scooters were sold in France than electrically assisted bicycles. 🛴⚡ Electric scooters: 678,000 units sold (-10.7%% compared to 2022). 🚲⚡ Electric bikes: 671,000 units sold (-9% compared to 2022). 👉 In terms of value, both segments are decreasing, with a more marked decrease for the electric scooter, due to its falling average selling price unlike that of the electric bikes which remains stable. 🛴⚡ €277 million (Vs €345 million in 2022), or -20% for the electric scooter market, with an average selling price of €408 (-9.9%). 🚲⚡ €1,321 billion (Vs. €1,451 billion in 2022), a drop of 9%, with an average selling price of €1,967 (+0.10%). 👉 On both vehicle segments, we are witnessing the progression of the transition from mechanical mode to the transition to electric. - Electric scooters represent 58% of scooters sold in France. - The electric bikes represents 30% of bicycles sold in France. 👉 Cumulative sales from 2020 to 2023 🛴⚡ 3.25 million electric scooters were sold for a turnover of 1.14 billion euros. 🚲⚡ 2.58 million electric bikes were sold, for a turnover of 5.14 billion euros. 👉 Distribution by type of channel - Large specialized retailers consolidate their leading position in the electric scooter market in 2023 with 40% of sales in volume and 39% in value. - Bicycle shops maintain their leading position in the electric bikes market, achieving 44% of sales in volume and 63% in value. 👉 In terms of uses 🚲⚡ Electric bikes integrate highly leisure and urban uses in a lesser way. In 2023 we observe a drop in volume of electric bikes dedicated to urban travel: city bikes (-25%), folding bikes –25%) and conversely a slight increase in more leisure-oriented uses: VTC (+5%) , racing bikes (+ 3%). 🛴⚡ Electric scooters remain the leader in local and everyday electric mobility, representing by volume 89% of the total in the Personal Transport Vehicles (PTV) category, in which electric gyrowheels with a very strong urban dominance appear. 👉 With complementary uses and despite a decline in volume in 2023, e-bikes and e-scooters continue to anchor themselves in the uses of millions of French people by promoting the transition to carbon-free mobility.
