Ford asked Renault for help to create minicars

Renault boss Francois Provost told Auto Express that Ford’s new compact electric car will retain the recognizable spirit of the brand and will not simply be a re-styled version of the Renault 5.

Renault’s CEO explained to the publication that the new models will remain Ford cars – it is Ford that is responsible for design and functionality. Renault is involved in the development, providing its platforms, components and access to production and research facilities.

In addition, Renault will be responsible for the hardware and development expertise, but Ford’s European designers and engineers will have complete freedom to use the platform so that the future Ford Fiesta remains a Fiesta in spirit and feel.

“Ford will also take over all sales and marketing,” said Francois Provost.

Previously, it was found out how long electric vehicle batteries last.
