Renault-Nissan enhances flexible manufacturing with ''Common Module Family''

By ,

Renault-Nissan's new Common Module Family (CMF) is “an engineering architecture that covers Renault-Nissan Alliance vehicles, from one or more segments, based on the assembly of compatible Big Modules: engine bay, cockpit, front underbody, rear underbody and electrical/electronic architecture.”

The CMF will be deployed across five continents in more than 10 countries through 2020. The first deployment of CMF, for the compact and large car segments, will cover 1.6 million vehicles per year and 14 models: 11 from Renault and three from Nissan (including the next-generation Rogue ).

This will generate for the Renault-Nissan Alliance an average 30-40% reduction in entry cost per model, and a 20-30% reduction in parts cost.
