Infiniti quiere expandirse un 60% hasta 2020Al ser preguntados por el nuevo estudio de diseño (la nota de prensa viene después), han hablado de aumentar la gama significativamente, pero no han indicado con que modelos. De momento sabemos que tienen que llegar el Q30, QX30, el LE (electrico) y Q80
http://www.worldcarfans.com/114091981514/infiniti-to-expand-lineup-by-60-percent-by-2020 Infiniti abre un centro de diseño en Londres
Nota de prensa, en inglés
New London design studio aims to put the romance back into premium motoringLONDON – Infiniti opened its new automotive design facility in London today.
With a mission to make cars look and feel romantic again, Infiniti Design London, based in the iconic Battleship Building at Paddington Basin, is the first of a network of global design studios for the company as it gears up for a new-model offensive over the next five years, including an all-new model to be manufactured in the UK. Infiniti plans to expand its premium model range by 60 percent by the end of the decade.
«Design is a key driver as we continue to sharpen the Infiniti brand,» said Francois Goupil de Bouillé, Infiniti vice president for Europe, Middle East and Africa. «Our passion for design will deliver a broad range of very distinct premium vehicles. The expansion of our product portfolio is at the core of our growth plan.»
With Infiniti Design London fully open, the facility will be able to design and make full-size clay models. It is one of very few full-capability automotive design centers around the world to have a city centre location.
The studio occupies space within the Battleship Building, so-called because of the way its superstructure rears up above the surrounding area and the close-by Westway road. The building was completed in 1969 as a maintenance depot for British Rail and is listed as being of historical importance.
«With the expansion of the portfolio, Infiniti design will keep evolving,» said Shiro Nakamura, chief creative officer of Infiniti and senior vice president of Nissan Motor Corporation. «Having dedicated studios is essential to deepen Infiniti design. This is the first step of a global initiative to purify and reinforce the distinctiveness of Infiniti design. The next steps are to open Infiniti design studios in Beijing and San Diego as well shortly.»
At the studio’s opening ceremony, Infiniti executive design director Alfonso Albaisa said: «Infiniti has always been about passion – for design, performance and craftsmanship. With our new generation models, we want to express all that passion plus a new romanticism, and London is a great place to find the inspiration for it. London buzzes with youthful excitement. We are here to pick up that buzz and tailor premium products so they deliver a European take on Infiniti.»
Car enthusiasts will be able to judge that for themselves in two weeks when Infiniti’s new concept car has its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show on October 2. Designed at the London facility, the concept – called Q80 Inspiration – previews a new top-of-the-range model for Infiniti.
Already more than 10 new Infiniti models have been designed in Infiniti’s design studios around the world in the past 18 months. Concept versions of the new «romantic» models will start to appear at upcoming international motor shows.
Infiniti Design London joins other Infiniti facilities in the UK including an engineering center at Cranfield and an assembly plant in Sunderland, which next year will begin the first Infiniti production in Europe.
The design studio employs many nationalities including Belgian, Croatian, German, Korean, Russian and Welsh, among its staff of designers, modelers and color and trim specialists.
9 noviembre, 2014 a las 22:53[size size=150]El Eolab de Renault costaría como un Clio con motor diésel[/size] La afirmación del título no la hago yo, no es un «invento mío», surge directamente de la marca del rombo. Para ser más preciso, esta declaración la ha realizado Thierry Bollore, jefe de la oficina de competitividad de Renault.
Según sus palabras, el Renault Eolab se podría vender a un precio similar a un Renault Clio diésel de 90 CV. Esto sobre el papel no sería muy descabellado, ya que tal como nos declaraba el jefe de prensa de Ford en España en nuestro Podcast semanal (escúchalo aquí), el nuevo Ford Mondeo Híbrido cuesta igual que su variante diésel.
Pero ahora nos surgen algunas dudas. El Eloab es un Concept Car donde Renault nos ha mostrado todo su potencial tecnológico, ¿Cuándo veremos implantada esta tecnología en un coche de calle?. Si es cierto que pueden fabricar el Eloab con pocos cambios ¿Por qué no se lo están plateando de una manera seria?. Y lo mejor de todo, si Renault ya tiene la tecnología para que sus vehículos consuman solo 1 litro cada 100 kilómetros ¿Por qué no lo explotan?.
Ya te hemos mencionado alguna vez en Autoblog que los fabricantes franceses están trabajando en un plan denominado «Vehículo2L/100 para todos» auspiciado por el gobierno Francés. Un proyecto muy interesante, donde el gobierno francés a través de subvenciones, están apostando fuertemente por la industria automovilística.
No es la primera vez que vemos el gobierno francés mirando y mimando a sus marcas autóctonas. En cierto modo es lógico esta dedicación, ya que en parte de su accionariado está presente el estado. Digamos que el pueblo Francés tiene un pequeño pedazo de la tarta de acciones del grupo Renault y del grupo PSA, este movimiento proteccionista es para asegurar la viabilidad de los fabricantes, vetar y presionar algunas decisiones que afecten negativamente a los intereses del país. (Que envidia me da este compromiso que tiene Francia con sus marcas, y en España es todo lo contrario)
La industria del automóvil en el suelo francés es como una religión, no solo por sus seguidores o la gente que está vinculada económicamente de manera directa o indirecta a esta industria. También es una imagen de innovación y tecnología que se importa a todo el mundo, la mejor bandera industrial que tiene Francia en estos momentos.
Mi compañero Elías te trajo hace unas semanas, una toma de contacto del concept car Eolab muy interesante. Donde nos exponía de una manera directa su opinión sobre la primera incursión de Renault en el mundo híbrido. Renault había creado un automóvil del segmento B muy ligero gracias a la incorporación de materiales livianos como son el Magnesio y el aluminio, y materiales compuestos (como la fibra de carbono).
Como los titulares apuntaban, este vehículo conceptual puede recorrer 100 kilómetros con tan solo la gasolina que cabe en un tetrabrik estándar de leche. Pero no solo la reducción de peso ha hecho de este Eolab consuma solo un litro de gasolina, también su magnífica aerodinámica y su hibridación con un motor eléctrico. Una combinación de tres ejes, que según apunta Renault, va a ser desde ahora sus pilares centrales para desarrollar sus futuros modelos.
Se tiene estimado que en 2022 la tecnología puntera que vemos en este modelo, este aplicada en casi un 90 % de los modelos que se fabriquen. Con lo que, cifras de consumo que hoy en día inimaginables, podrían convertirse en algo normalizado.
¿Por fin tendremos una alternativa real a los motores diésel? Parece que sí, lo único que por ahora nos toca esperar a que esa tecnología que vemos en los concept car se apliquen en los modelos de calle.
Ya estamos deseosos de que Renault nos presente un coche real, que tenga el mismo precio que un Clio diésel y que consuma solo 1 litro. Esperemos que la espera no sea muy larga y que no se quede la afirmación de Thierry en agua de borrajas.

De hecho, de enero a septiembre, se vendieron 2.767 Lancer en Europa frente a casi 400.000 Volkswagen Golf… La hora de la sustitución del Lancer por un nuevo modelo ha llegado. Y Mitsubishi no puede afrontar el desarrollo de un nuevo modelo en solitario. Para poder disponer de un nuevo modelo Mitsubishi recurrió a Renault-Nissan.
Con el acuerdo anunciado entre los dos grupos anunciados el pasado 5 de noviembre, Mitsubishi contará con dos nuevos modelos derivados de una plataforma de Renault-Nissan. Uno será una berlina «mid-size» (nuestro segmento D) para el mercado norteamericano, mientas que el segundo modelo será un compacto (el sustituto del Lancer) y tendrá vocación global.
Osamu Masuko, CEO de Mitsubishi, explicó que la berlina destinada al mercado estadounidense y canadiense recuperaría la plataforma del Renault Latitude fabricado por Renault Samsung en Corea del Sur. La versión Mitsubishi llegaría en 2 o 3 años.
De este modo, Renault da salida a un modelo que resultó ser un fracaso en Europa y da trabajo a su factoría de Busan (Corea), mientras que Mitsubishi gana un nuevo modelo cuyo desarrollo le sale a precio muy reducido.
En cuanto al compacto, todavía están en discusiones para saber si sería un Nissan o un Renault con simplemente un cambio de calandra y logotipos. Masuko explicó que todavía no se ha tomado una decisión acerca donde se fabricaría.
Esta nueva estrategia, según ha explicado Masuko, se debe a la decisión de no fabricar sus modelos compactos. En Mitsubishi prefieren centrarse en el desarrollo y fabricación propia de los SUVs, un segmento en pleno auge y en el Mitsubishi tiene una cierta reputación y legitimidad. De hecho, confirmó un nuevo ASX para 2016 y un nuevo Montero/Pajero/Shogun para 2018, conversiones pulg-in híbridas en ambos casos.

Renault-Nissan Alliance sells its 200,000th electric vehicle– Renault-Nissan EVs have driven 4 billion kilometers and enjoy 58% of zero-emission global market share
– Nissan LEAF remains best-selling EV ever; Renault led in Europe last month
– Alliance launches monthly video series introducing electric vehicle owners from around the world sharing their personal stories with their zero-emission carPARIS/YOKOHAMA (Nov. 26, 2014)-The Renault-Nissan Alliance has sold its 200,000th electric vehicle and has a leading 58% market share for zero-emission cars.
Together, Renault and Nissan EVs have driven approximately 4 billion zero-emission kilometers – enough to circle the earth 100,000 times. Renault-Nissan’s EVs represent 200 million liters of fuel saved – enough to fill about 80 Olympic-sized swimming pools. Alliance EVs also represent 450 million kg of CO2 that has not been emitted while driving.
The Alliance sold its 200,000th EV in early November, about four years after the launch of the Nissan LEAF, the world’s first mass-market electric vehicle. Nissan LEAF remains the best-selling electric vehicle in history.
From January through the first week of November of this year, the Alliance has sold about 66,500 units-an increase of about 20% from the same period last year. The Alliance sells about two out of three electric vehicles worldwide, including Twizy, Renault’s two-seater urban commuter vehicle and the Nissan e-NV200 van on sale in Europe and Japan.
«Renault and Nissan’s electric vehicles are the zero-emission volume leaders – and, most important, they enjoy high satisfaction rates from customers around the world,» said Carlos Ghosn, Chairman & CEO of the Renault-Nissan Alliance. «Based on positive owner feedback and the increasing demand for cars that run on renewable energy, it’s no surprise that EV sales are accelerating – particularly in regions where charging infrastructure is well developed.»
To capture what the first 200,000 consumers love about their electric vehicles, the Renault-Nissan Alliance is launching a series of videos featuring EV owners on three continents. «I Made the Switch» tells why people bought their electric vehicles and how switching to a zero-emission vehicle has changed their lives. The first video features Chris Beers, a software engineer from Holliston, Massachusetts, USA, one of many Americans who powers his Nissan LEAF with clean solar energy. To see the video, click here:
http://www.multivu.com/players/English/7381531-renault-nissan-electric-vehicle-sales/ USA and Japan lead the world in EV ownershipIn the United States, the Alliance’s biggest electric vehicle market, there are more than 750 quick chargers in operation. Nissan is working with its dealers and charging partners to increase that number to 1,100 by mid-2015. The quick chargers are able to charge a LEAF from zero to 80% capacity in about 30 minutes.
This year, Nissan also launched its «No Charge to Charge» program, which provides free access to selected charging stations for two years with the purchase or lease of a new Nissan LEAF. «No Charge to Charge» is currently active in 12 U.S. markets, and Nissan plans to expand to additional markets by mid-2015.
In Japan, the Alliance’s second-biggest EV market, there are more than 2,900 quick chargers in operation. Nissan and Japan’s three other top automakers have pledged to work together to raise that number to 6,000 by March 2015.
In Europe, the UK is the most advanced market in terms of electric vehicle infrastructure. Today, the quick charging network already covers 87% of the UK’s motorways.
Nissan LEAF is the world’s best-selling electric vehicle; Renault led in Europe in OctoberWith six electric vehicle models on the road, the Renault-Nissan Alliance is the only global car group with a full range of 100% electric vehicles – and they can be fully charged with purely renewable energy.
Yokohama, Japan-based Nissan has sold a cumulative 148,700 units worldwide since December 2010, when Nissan LEAF went on sale. Nissan LEAF has collected industry honors including the 2011 World Car of the Year, European Car of the Year 2011 and Car of the Year Japan 2011-2012.The electric vehicle has the highest global customer satisfaction rate for any Nissan vehicle ever.
The top markets for Nissan LEAF are the United States with about 67,000 sales since its launch, Japan with about 46,500 units and Europe with about 31,000 units.
In the United States, LEAF is on track to be the top electric vehicle in 2014, outselling all other electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Sales so far this year are up 35%, and Nissan LEAF has enjoyed 21 consecutive record sales months and has already shattered its own yearly U.S. sales record with two months to go. In addition to LEAF, Nissan also sells the e-NV200 van, which went on sale in Europe in June and in Japan in October.
Meanwhile, Boulogne-Billancourt, France-based Renault has sold a cumulative 51,500 electric vehicles worldwide since its first model the Kangoo Z.E. went on sale in October 2011. Kangoo Z.E. was voted International Van of the Year 2012. Renault recently delivered its 5,000th Kangoo Z.E. to La Poste, France’s national postal service and operator of the country’s largest corporate fleet. An additional 5,000 units will be delivered in the coming years.
In addition to Kangoo Z.E. and Twizy, Renault’s zero-emission range also includes the ZOE subcompact and the Fluence Z.E. sedan. In South Korea, the Fluence Z.E. is sold as the SM3 Z.E. under the Renault Samsung Motor badge. Like Nissan LEAF, ZOE enjoys the highest satisfaction rate of Renault’s global product lineup.
Renault’s top markets in Europe – its main electric vehicle market – are France, Germany and the United Kingdom. In October, Renault regained the number one EV position in Europe with a market share of 31%. ZOE was the most popular vehicle with a 23% market share.
Note to editor: The zero-emission distance and CO2 data are based on a calculated average.
26 noviembre, 2014 a las 21:12Aparece en la revista autopista, en la 2ª pagina, vamos, que es una frase y ya está:
[i]Ligereza al poder: en Renault quieren reducir el peso medio de los nuevos vehiculos en 110kg antes de 2015 y en 220 kg antes de 2018[/i] Ojo, lo digo sin hacer cuentas: supongo que esto quiere decir que pretenden hacer rebajas de cada modelo de entre 100 y 300kg (cuanto mas grande el modelo, mas rebaja de peso). Y en esto habrá que contar tambien con las fases II de Clio y Captur, el nuevo Koleos…
27 noviembre, 2014 a las 18:21Por ejemplo, el Clio pesa mil y pico kilos, mientras que el 208 baja de los 1000. Hablo de la versión gasolina. Y, al final, es la mejor medida para bajar el consumo y obtener un mejor dinamismo en carretera.

El Clio que nos viene a España, la versión tce de 90cv (hay que especificar, porque el de 75cv seguro que está por debajo jeje) pesa alrededor de lo que pesaba el Clio III 1.2 tce100, mientras que el francés, al llevar mas piezas de material «plastico», es como 100kg mas ligero. Ya nos podia llegar ese aqui, que seguro que hasta está mejor hecho.Igual en el phII lo ponen como el francés, o añaden mas elementos para aligerar, quien sabe, pero si esa rebaja de peso lo han dicho de verdad, el Clio y Captur tienen que bajar peso tambien, si no, no encajaria esos 220kg solo con modelos nuevos
29 noviembre, 2014 a las 08:32La versión francesa pesa 1069 kg. Y la turca algo más. Si no me equivoco
29 noviembre, 2014 a las 11:29Oficialmente la versión francesa 1009, la turca segun parece es el mismo peso, pero en la revista autopista, cuando hicieron su prueba, pasaba los 1100kg, como en el Clio III 1.2 tce, lo cual me parece demasiado cuando se habia dicho que bajaba 100kg
El Clio III 1.2 tce pesaba en catalogo 1064kgEstos son los pesos del Clio IV

– ‘HYDIVU’, hibrido diesel-electrico para vehiculos comerciales ligeros
– Motor dci bicilindrico compresor y turbo
– ‘VELUD’, solución para el TwizyLas soluciones iran llegando en los proximos años, siendo en 12 meses el punto de partida

RENAULT LIFTS THE LID ON FUTURE MOBILITY IDEAS– New Renault compact electric motor to improve EV efficiency
– Small petrol/LPG turbo engine to lower fuel bills by 25 per cent
– Innovations for urban deliveries and electrification
– ‘HYDIVU’ prototype: Mild-Diesel Hybrid for LCVs
– ‘POWERFUL’ prototype: two-stroke, two-cylinder super-charged and turbo-charged diesel engine
– ‘VELUD’ prototype: Twizy-based electric urban delivery solution
– Renault’s innovations ‘think tank’ reveals what is coming in the next few years
– Production starts within 12 months for some innovationsRenault today lifted the lid on two innovations based on its EOLAB prototype, both of which are scheduled to appear in production cars in 2015. At the same time the innovative French company has revealed three longer-term approaches to low-fuel consumption, low-emissions mobility.
All were unveiled at an Innovations@Renault event in Paris, where the company’s Co-operative Innovations Laboratory (LCI) – a think tank that unites engineers, designers and customer survey specialists – gave a behind-the-scenes peek into how Renault powertrains and propulsion systems might evolve in the next few years.
Renault has developed a new, more efficient and more compact electric motor and a new turbocharged petrol engine adapted for use with LPG (liquified petroleum gas), both of which are scheduled for introduction next year. Looking further ahead, Renault and its partners are looking at a mild hybrid diesel prototype (HYDIVU project), a diminutive two-stroke diesel engine (POWERFUL project) and a small electric delivery vehicle based on the Twizy (VELUD project) as the basis for clean, low-cost urban mobility.
Production-ready power unitsNew, compact electric motor
The new, compact electric motor – designed and made entirely by Renault – delivers similar performance to those in use today but is around 10 per cent smaller. It is a synchronous unit with a wound rotor and delivers 65 kW (88hp) and 220 Nm of torque. It was designed by Renault’s motor engineers in France and manufactured in Renault’s Cléon plant.
Renault has switched from macro-module stacking to fully integrated modules, assembled closely so that no external power supply cables are necessary. The junction box and integrated Chameleon charger (as fitted to ZOE) are contained within a single Power Electronic Controller, which is 25 per cent smaller than existing systems.
The motor is now air-cooled, simplifying the system with only the Power Electronic Controller continuing to be cooled by water. Improved electronic management reduces charging times using the 3kW and 11kW flexi-cable, while a redesigned inverter improves efficiency and reducing power consumption.
Dual-fuel petrol/LPG engineRenault’s new dual-fuel petrol/LPG engine promises 25 per cent lower fuel bills and 10 per cent lower CO2 emissions than a comparable petrol-only power unit. It is a three-cylinder engine featuring a turbocharger, engine Stop&Start, brake energy recovery and an eco-mode, and it complies with EU6 emissions regulations. These modern technologies realise a fuel consumption reduction of 20 per cent compared to a previous-generation LPG engine. The technical challenge was to achieve the right balance between turbo boost and LPG pressure while allowing maximum use in LPG mode with no input from the driver. The entire powertrain is fitted at the factory complete with its LPG kit.
Research Prototypes‘HYDIVU’ – Mild-Hybrid diesel
The ‘HYDIVU’ (Hybrid Diesel for LCVs) research prototype aims to reduce fuel consumption and therefore running costs for high-mileage business users. It is based on the Master van powered by Renault’s ENERGY dCi 165 Twin Turbo diesel engine, and has been engineered in conjunction with a number of European partners.
It integrates a 48-volt (10-12 kW) starter motor and alternator-type electric motor mounted on the gearbox to deliver additional torque and reduce the load on the combustion engine. Its positioning, as close as possible to the wheel, promotes greater efficiency by allowing maximum recovery of energy during deceleration and braking. This ‘free energy’ is stored in the 48-volt battery to be used as extra torque on demand.
The power unit also features what Renault calls ‘Downspeeding’ – longer gear ratios which reduce engine revolutions when cruising to lower fuel consumption – while the twin turbos with variable geometry have been specially adapted to this concept. Significant levels of torque are available from just 1,000 rpm, and driveability is consistent across the entire rev band. Internal friction has been reduced through innovations like the steel pistons, and fuel injection pressure has been raised by 25 per cent to 2,500 bar to reduce emissions.
These three technologies result in a fuel consumption reduction of up to 10 percent over long distances.
‘POWERFUL’ – two-stroke, two-cylinder super-charged and turbo-charged diesel engineTwo-stroke diesel engines are commonplace in large container ships. Their thermal efficiency is around 50 per cent while four-stroke diesels struggle to reach 35 per cent. The difficulty, until now, has been in adapting two-stroke technology for an engine small enough for automotive use, which Renault is aiming to solve with its ‘POWERFUL’ (POWERtrain for Future Light-duty vehicles) project.
The two-cylinder engine is only half the size of Renault’s 1.5-litre dCi diesel, weighs 40 kg less, ideally suited for small vehicle platforms. This 730cc unit is both super-charged and turbo-charged and produces between 35kW and 50kW (48hp-68hp) with 112-145Nm of torque from 1,500rpm.
Initial tests are encouraging, although the performance needs to be improved before Renault could consider introducing it. The engine is being developed with 18 industrial, scientific and academic partners in France, Spain and the Czech Republic, with investment from the European Union.
‘VELUD’ (Electric Vehicle for Sustainable Urban Logistics) projectWith urban deliveries in mind, Renault has produced its ‘VELUD’ (Electric Vehicle for Sustainable Urban Logistics) project, based on the Twizy, in conjunction with a number of academic and civic partners. It is intended as a ‘final miles’ solution to take cargo loaded into a small trailer from pre-defined zones to their final delivery point using intelligent fleet management.
All these projects are the work of LCI, a group within Renault which has been given the freedom to step outside the framework of conventional product programmes and come up with completely original mobility solutions. The Twizy, Renault’s NEXT TWO autonomous connected vehicle prototype and EOLAB are just some of the solutions already created by LCI.
26 enero, 2015 a las 15:10Bueno, de momento, el proyecto de berlina media (D) de Mitsubishi está estancado. No se ha dicho mas, asi que no se sabe que ha pasado.
El sedan del segmento C y otros proyectos comunes parece que siguen adelante 3 febrero, 2015 a las 11:09mariodna, forero de forocoches y periodista de DiarioMotor, fue a la presentación del Kadjar, y ha comentado alguna cosilla que le han dicho:
[quote quote=»mariodna»]Nos mencionaron que este año habrá 5 modelos nuevos:Kadjar, Espace, Berlina de segmento D, pick up y un coche de entrada a la marca, del segmento A. Entiendo que será el smart fortwo pero con el rombo.
[/quote] Aunque yo creo que no es el hermano del Fortwo
Salvo el Pick up y el modelo de entrada a la marca, los demás se sabian. Curiosamente ha puesto berlina segmento D y no Laguna.
Lo de fortwo con rombo no lo creo, me parece que será otro modelo, otro coche mas sencillo. En cuanto al pick up, supongo que se basará en el presentado como concept, lo unico es saber a que paises va destinadohttp://www.forocoches.com/foro/showthread.php?p=185962480#post185962480 
3 febrero, 2015 a las 11:25Opino lo mismo, no creo que sea un Fortwo con la estética del Twingo, que podrían… pero lo dudo, se canceló el proyecto. Yo me decanto por una evolución del Twizy, con sus puertas, mayor autonomía y sistema de climatización. 3 febrero, 2015 a las 11:44Podria ser, y estaria muy bien que fuese el Twizy, pero no es un coche del segmento A, sino un cuadriciclo, con lo que no encajaria 7 febrero, 2015 a las 00:54Parece que se aclara un poco la noticia que salió hace dias.
Segun parece, el hecho de paralizar la berlina D es porque quieren prorizar la berlina C, es decir, el Lancer, ya que es un modelo global.Podria desarrollarse a partir de una base Nissan y no Renault ¿Por qué? Porque si fuese Renault, se produciria en Corea, y parece que la diferencia entre la moneda coreana y la americana complicaria la venta del modelo
Con lo que, de ser Nissan, se podria hacer en EE.UU. o incluso Japón 13 febrero, 2015 a las 16:52Gracias caché de google!!

http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1097033_renault-to-return-to-n-america-with-twizy-low-speed-electric-car 10 marzo, 2015 a las 21:27Entrevista a Carlos Ghosn, en inglés. Habla de Renault, Nissan, cooperaciones, ventas…
Ghosn sees Renault-Nissan passing No. 3 GM by 2018Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn remains confident that by 2018 his seven-brand alliance will rank as one of the world’s three largest automakers. He sees the alliance rising from No. 4 now despite big troubles in Russia and finishing about 1.4 million units behind No. 3 General Motors last year. Ghosn is confident because, he says: “A lot of things can happen in three years.” Ghosn shared his views on the sales race, the reasons for Dacia’s success and more during an interview with Automotive News Europe Editor Luca Ciferri.
Will economic downturns in markets such as Russia prevent Renault-Nissan from becoming one of the three largest automakers by 2018?
In the short term some of the emerging markets where we have significant capacity such as Russia are not moving in the right direction, but this will not last forever. Russia has a much bigger potential than what the market is showing today. When oil prices return to a more reasonable level – because today they are abnormally low – the Russian market will boom again. Russia falls very quickly but also recovers very rapidly. Brazil is much the same. India is one of the Asian markets with the highest potential for growth. We have made investments there and our product offensive is starting now.Do you still believe the alliance will rise into the top three in three years?
Yes, I’m optimistic that the numbers will rise. We have headwinds in some markets, but we sold 8.5 million units last year. The No. 3 [General Motors] is 1.4 million units ahead of us, but in this industry, a lot of things can happen in three years.Does the alliance need another partner to enter the top three?
We don’t need another partner. Partnerships are a matter of opportunity, synergies and complementarity. You don’t form partnerships just for the sake of additional volume. Scale is a problem, sure, but at 8.5 million units, we don’t lack scale. Somebody else needs to worry about scale, not us.Are you planning any big changes to your cooperation with Daimler?
I don’t think we need to change anything. This cooperation in going very well. We are adding projects and, frankly, we are acclimating to each other very quickly.And beyond Daimler?
Will there be more opportunity for cooperation with other carmakers? Without any doubt, because this industry is changing very quickly, not only in terms of technology, but also on product and the geographic footprint. There is always a configuration that makes more sense than the one you have today. I don’t rule out anything, but at the same time, we are not in a position where we need to find a partner for our survival.What are the biggest opportunities for the alliance?
For Nissan, the biggest opportunity is [becoming more] premium and the development of Infiniti is a big part of that. At the opposite end of the product spectrum, Nissan is benchmarking Dacia to try to replicate its success with the Datsun range. For Renault, the biggest opportunity is geographical expansion. The first step is properly getting into China, where we plan a 3 percent market share, about 600,000 units a year, from about 30,000 units that we import now. The second step is to create an entry-level range for emerging markets. Another step at Renault is expanding the product line.Why have none of your rivals been able to launch a serious rival to Dacia?
You should ask the competitors who said they were going to replicate the Dacia business model why they could not do it. What I can say is that Dacia is not just a car range. It’s a whole system, implemented with integrity in order to get the results in product, manufacturing, supply chain, marketing and sales. This may be something that is difficult to reproduce. I’m very happy that no one has been able to reproduce it yet.Are Dacias and Dacia-badged Renaults still producing a double-digit operating margin?
Absolutely. Profitability in our industry is where people cannot copy you.Renault has increased its operating margin from 0.1 percent in 2012 to 1.3 percent in 2013 to 2.2 percent last year. Will that number rise into the 3’s this year?
We need to be very prudent for a number of reasons, for example, Russia. We have the potential to deliver [an even higher operating margin], but the result will depend more on the external environment than on our performance.What is the outlook for Europe?
Europe is not growing, it is recovering. There’s a big difference. The European market is still about 20 percent below its 2007 peak. I think the current situation is healthy and this slow recovery will continue in the coming years.And in the U.S.?
The U.S. recovery is finished and we are on a new growth path. I don’t think the U.S. market has peaked yet. We will see moderate growth continuing. Probably not 5 percent year-over-year, but 2 to 3 percent, which is fine.What about China?
China will continue to grow, but the pace is moderating, which is normal. I don’t think the world’s largest market could continue to grow by 70 percent a year. I do not envisage any risk of a bubble. There may be some excesses here or there, but nothing major is threatening the car industry in China.Last year, the Renault Captur became Europe’s No. 1 small crossover replacing the Nissan Juke. Does that create a conflict within the alliance?
We’ve always said that the alliance should not be a handicap for any company. Renault and Nissan can launch any product at any time in any market. Also, we do not see direct competition in the market place. During consumer panels a Renault is seldom cross-shopped against a Nissan and the other way around. In Europe, Nissan is in a basket with Toyota, Honda, Hyundai … mostly Asian brands. For Renault it’s mainly European brands.Will you add or cut suppliers?
Every time we can reduce the number of suppliers, we do it. However, reducing the number of suppliers risks reducing competition. Therefore, you need to make sure that the guys who are supplying you become your partners. If not, you will find yourself in a very uncomfortable position: not having a big choice [of companies to work with] and not having long-term relationships.Is there an ideal number of suppliers?
No, because all the new technology development taking place today adds new parts and new suppliers, so it’s impossible to have a cap.Do you have a problem when a supplier’s margins are higher than yours?
No. I’m worried when a supplier has a much lower margin than mine, because he may not be interested in doing business with me. Also, when you come to ask him for competitiveness, he will tell you: “I don’t make enough money.” When your suppliers make more money than you, it puts you at ease to have a very balanced relationship.You plan to retire before the end of the decade. You have said you would not recommend that one person runs both Renault and Nissan in the future. Has your opinion changed?
No. I don’t wish this on anyone. I’m doing it because of circumstances. That’s why I don’t think it would be fair to repeat something like this.Who are your potential successors?
I’m not going to speculate on this because this is not a pressing matter. I have a new mandate with Renault that runs until 2018, so we still have three and a half years to goIs 65 the right time to retire?
Retiring at 65 is mandatory at Renault. The issue came before the board and I voted in favor of this. Like most Japanese companies, Nissan does not have an age limit. In every country we operate, we follow the local rules. Those CEOs who think that they are still young and fresh enough to do the job at 65 can go and negotiate with their boards. I personally think that 65 is a very reasonable time for a CEO to step down.How important is autonomous driving?
Renault-Nissan wants to be at the forefront of autonomous driving, which means empowering people in the car, giving them the possibility to drive or not to drive, to let the car do things for you under your guidance. It’s about re-establishing the pleasure of driving. What pleasure is there in keeping your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel during a traffic jam? At the same time we are not interested in driverless cars. That is a completely different story.When will the investments in autonomous driving start to pay off?
Autonomous driving comes from modules and we are already installing some of them in our cars such as automatic parking, lane keeping and steer-by-wire. These and other pieces of technology are coming one after the other, so they are being amortized one by one. I would say that autonomous driving is a much easier technology to amortize than electric cars or fuel cells. With EVs and fuel cells, you don’t start to amortize until you sell the first complete car. In autonomous driving, you start to amortize by introducing each single module.Are you cooperating with Daimler on autonomous driving?
Right now we don’t cooperate with Daimler, but it doesn’t mean we will not one day. 21 marzo, 2015 a las 18:57En el salón de Ginebra, Bruno Ancelin, Vicepresidente de Renault ha comentado que Alpine será una submarca de Renault, con modelos deportivos. Pero no lo dice tal cual, lo dice porque una marca no se puede crear con un solo modelo, sino que deberia haber varios mas (en su momento se comentaba 3) Habla de marcas deportivas premium como Audi y Porsche, y para llegar a ese nivel esperan contar con la experiencia del grupo Renault-Nissan y de la alianza con Mercedes
El primero en salir será el deportivo de motor central heredero del A110, con nombre interno AS1.

http://i.imgur.com/6EjyelN.jpg Se especula con que podria volver a EE.UU., pudiendo ser el Alpine el primer producto que se vendiese alli, pero no encajaria con la producción del modelo en EE.UU. puesto que se fabricará en Dieppe
