PRESS RELEASE
Renault Group, Valeo and Valeo Siemens
eAutomotive join forces to develop and manufacture
a new-generation automotive electric motor in
France
Paris, February 10, 2022 - Renault Group, Valeo
and Valeo Siemens eAutomotive announce that they have signed a
memorandum of understanding to form a strategic partnership
for the design, co-development and manufacture in France of
a new-generation automotive electric motor, eliminating the use of
rare earths.
The three partners will combine their know-how
and recognized expertise to design a unique electric powertrain
system that is unparalleled worldwide, offering more power on less
energy, without the use of rare earths.
Under this partnership, each of the three
partners will contribute to the development and production of the
two key parts of the electric motor: the rotor and the stator.
Renault will develop and produce the
EESM (electrically excited synchronous motor)
rotor technology, Designed without the use of rare
earths, it officers enhanced energy performance. In addition to the
supply of components based on each company's best expertise, the
overall architecture of the all-in-one motor for Renault
Group will also be designed by Renault.
Valeo and Valeo Siemens eAutomotive will
develop and produce the stator, which is based on Valeo's
technological expertise in copper wire assembly. Thanks to its
unique know-how in this field, which allows it to use a higher
density of copper in the stator, Valeo is able to generate more
power without having to use more electrical energy.
Renault Group, Valeo and Valeo Siemens
eAutomotive will be the first to mass produce a 200kW
electric motor without using rare earths, starting in
2027. Production of the motor for the automaker's own
needs will be based at Renault Group's Cléon plant in Normandy,
France.
Luca de Meo, Renault
Group’s Chief Executive Officer,
commented: "We are delighted to be partnering with Valeo,
whose know-how is recognized the world over. Together, we will
design and develop a new generation of high-tech electric motors,
produced at our Cléon plant. This partnership is further
demonstration of our capacity to be at the forefront of the
electric revolution taking place in the automotive industry and to
anchor the new automotive value chain in France".
Christophe Périllat, Valeo's Chief
Executive Officer, commented: "This strategic partnership
will result in a major step forward for electric mobility.
Alongside Renault Group, we are creating a new-generation
automotive electric motor that eliminates the use of rare earths.
This new motor will meet the most stringent environmental
requirements and the highest performance standards."
As pioneers of automotive electrification,
Renault Group, Valeo and Valeo Siemens eAutomotive are turning a
new page in technology for electric mobility.
