Company Overview

Ampere, operating under the Renault Group brand, specializes in intelligent electric vehicles (iEVs). The company focuses on designing, manufacturing, and marketing electric vehicles combining advanced technology with accessibility for European consumers. Ampere is a pure electric vehicle manufacturer concentrating on Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) that integrate smart technologies to enhance user experience and operational efficiency. Their mission is guided by Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles to create sustainable transportation solutions reducing CO2 emissions by up to 90% compared to traditional combustion vehicles. The company is located in Boulogne-Billancourt, France.

Battery Technology

Ampere uses Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) and Nickel Cobalt Manganese (NCM) battery technologies to optimize performance and cost-effectiveness. They have partnerships with LG Energy Solution and CATL for an integrated value chain of LFP batteries in Europe. A key innovation is the Cell-to-Pack (CTP) system for pouch-type batteries developed with LG Energy Solution, which eliminates battery modules to increase cell density, improving vehicle range and reducing costs. This technology is expected to reduce battery costs by 20% starting from 2026. Their roadmap includes cobalt-free batteries by 2028, combining NCM’s energy density with LFP’s cost and safety benefits.

Products

Significant products include the Twingo electric vehicle with a development time reduced to under two years, the Renault 5 E-Tech electric model optimized for manufacturing in less than 10 hours, and the Alpine A290. Both Renault 5 E-Tech and Alpine A290 received Car of the Year 2025 recognition.

Recent Projects

In 2024, Ampere reduced the Twingo model development time and optimized Renault 5 manufacturing. Collaborations with Nissan and Alpine led to new electric vehicle developments. Software development strengthened through cooperation with ACTIA and a dedicated embedded systems team from Tunisia. Renault 5 E-Tech and Alpine A290 were recognized as Car of the Year 2025.

Investors

Mitsubishi Motors committed up to €200M to Ampere Software Technology. The company benefits from being part of the Renault Group, leveraging its established automotive expertise and resources.
