Renault, a key partner of Nissan, has long employed rotary displacement engines for ten years. Previously, the French automaker refrained from employing combustion engines as generators to recharge their battery systems. This is set to transform.
Renault is developing a novel platform specifically tailored for compact and mid-size vehicles, with a primary focus on electric vehicles. Importantly, this new platform will also accommodate a small engine, designed to substantially boost the vehicle’s overall range. The electric RGEV Medium 2.0 platform is envisioned for electric vehicles, targeting a maximum electric range of 750 kilometers based on the WLTP cycle.
A comparable model, incorporating a range extender, is projected to achieve up to 1,400 kilometers of operation without requiring a refill. Renault emphasizes anticipated emissions of less than 25 grams per 100 kilometers. This innovative approach highlights Renault’s commitment to developing advanced electric vehicles.
The company’s strategy centers around providing consumers with versatile transportation options, blending electric performance with the extended range capabilities offered by these rotary engines. These new vehicles represent a significant step forward in sustainable mobility.
