Overview
- Renault presented the consolidation plan to labor unions, setting July 1 as the date to fold Ampere back into the parent company.
- Management says roughly 11,000 Ampere employees are not expected to face job cuts, with most employment terms unchanged.
- Ampere will cease as a standalone unit and operate as an advanced engineering hub for EVs and software, including Ampere Energy and Ampere Software Technology.
- Renault will resume direct control of the Douai, Maubeuge and Ruitz plants in northern France and the Cléon powertrain facility that build models such as the Renault 5 and Scenic.
- The reorganization reflects a strategic reset under CEO François Provost after the abandoned IPO and follows December’s rollback of Mobilize activities.
