Nissan to use Renault's plant in France to manufacture new March
18 Sep 2014|3,989 views
A year and a half after Renault and the trade unions signed the competitive performance agreement, Renault is forging ahead and meeting its commitments, including that of maintaining or developing business at its French manufacturing sites.
As such, production of chassis components for the new Nissan Micra (known here as the March) will boost the workload by around 8 percent annually for Renault's Le Mans plant. Volume production is scheduled to start in late 2016, with production output, estimated at 132,000 vehicles per year going to the Renault Flins assembly plant.
The program draws site investment of €7 million (S$11.46 million), on new machinery that goes a long way to securing sustained plant business in the future.
In announcing phase two of Renault's Drive the Change in February 2014, Carlos Ghosn, President of the Renault-Nissan Alliance, emphasised the need to improve the performance of both partner companies, and one of the ways this was to be achieved was by developing cross-manufacturing, with one partner making vehicles or powertrains for the other.
The ACI Le Mans plant dates back to 1920, and has the longest history of any of the Renault group's production facilities today. Le Mans is the Renault group's primary chassis design and manufacturing centre, hosting unparalleled engineering and production know-how in this speciality. This plant is also the number-one industrial employer in its region.
