Renault-Nissan CMF Platform: ‘Synergies’ Delivering Savings

The Renault-Nissan Alliance has revealed further details on its Common Modular Family (CMF) platform. At the same time, the partnership announced a seven percent improvement in savings from ‘synergies’ last year.

The total boost to the Alliance’s bottom line was 2.87 billion Euros (AU$4.17 billion), up from 2.69 billion the previous year with the ‘Purchasing’ department contributing the most at 1.036 billion (AU$1.5 billion).    

Much of the improvements came from cost reduction, cost avoidance and revenue increases through engineering and powertrain improvements, with early CMF models responsible for some of those savings.
