We know that Chinese companies are making more production efforts in the electronic car market compared to other world countries. The ability of Chinese automobile giants to produce cars with impressive features at low costs pushes companies such as Renault, which are trying to exist in the market, to cooperate.
Renault announced that it will cooperate with an unnamed Chinese engineering company to develop the new Twingo EV model. This decision was made in order to improve development time and costs. The expertise of Chinese companies in affordable electric vehicles is taken into account. For example, BYD plans to launch the Seagull model in Europe next year for less than €20,000.
This partnership aims to accelerate Renault’s electric vehicle development process. While engineering in China is no cheaper than in Europe, many of the current electric vehicle technology innovations come from there, one of the people familiar with the matter said.
This development follows the failure of a partnership initiative between Renault and VW earlier this month. Renault planned to develop an affordable Twingo together with VW, but VW decided to proceed on its own. Thereupon, Renault chose to work independently with this Chinese partner.
The design and advanced engineering of the new Twingo EV is being done in France, while production will take place in Europe. This model is expected to be produced in Slovenia, where the current Twingo is also produced. The Twingo EV was first announced last year and will be priced below €20,000 at launch. What do you think about this issue? The best-selling electric car model in Turkey is TOGG TX10. Do you think the New Twingo EV will be able to share this success?
