Introduction

Ampere, operating under the Renault Group brand, specializes in intelligent electric vehicles (iEVs). The company dedicates its operations to designing, manufacturing, and marketing electric vehicles that combine advanced technology with accessibility for European consumers. As a pure electric vehicle manufacturer, Ampere focuses on developing Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) that integrate smart technologies to enhance user experience and operational efficiency. The company’s commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles guides its mission to create sustainable transportation solutions that reduce CO2 emissions by up to 90% compared to traditional combustion vehicles.

Battery Technology

Ampere implements two main battery technologies in its vehicles: Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) and Nickel Cobalt Manganese (NCM). The company’s strategic approach involves using both technologies to optimize performance and cost-effectiveness across different vehicle segments. Through partnerships with LG Energy Solution and CATL, Ampere has developed an integrated value chain for LFP batteries in Europe.

A significant innovation in Ampere’s battery technology portfolio is the Cell-to-Pack (CTP) system for pouch-type batteries, developed in collaboration with LG Energy Solution. This technology eliminates the need for battery modules, allowing for increased cell density within the same space. The result is improved vehicle range and reduced production costs. Starting from 2026, this technology is expected to decrease battery costs by approximately 20%.

The company’s technical roadmap includes the development of cobalt-free batteries, scheduled for introduction by 2028. This initiative aims to combine the energy density advantages of NCM technology with the cost and safety benefits of LFP batteries.

Recent Projects

In 2024, Ampere achieved significant milestones in vehicle development and manufacturing efficiency. The company reduced the development time of the Twingo model to under two years and optimized the Renault 5 manufacturing process to less than 10 hours per vehicle. Partnerships with Nissan and Alpine resulted in new electric vehicle developments. The Renault 5 E-Tech electric and Alpine A290 received Car of the Year 2025 recognition. Ampere also strengthened its software development capabilities through continued collaboration with ACTIA, incorporating a dedicated team from Tunisia for embedded systems development.

Investors

Mitsubishi Motors has committed up to 200 million euros in investment to Ampere. The company operates as part of the Renault Group structure, benefiting from the group’s established automotive expertise and resources.
