Alpine will launch 7 electric cars by 2030

Alpine, the Renault Group sports brand, has today revealed the first details of its new strategic plan, which includes the launch of seven fully electric models and its expansion to key markets such as the United States. Its goal is to achieve an operating margin of more than 10% by the end of the decade.

Looking ahead to the year 2026, Alpine will discontinue the current thermal A110, at which time its range will become exclusively electric. In addition, the Norman firm has set itself the goal of achieving carbon-neutral production by 2030.

“Alpine is the brand for high-tech and motorsport enthusiasts. Excellence is their focus. Just two years ago, Alpine was at a dead end, with no clear prospects. Since then, it has become a full-fledged car manufacturer, bringing together outstanding assets: a first-class engineering center […] and an expanding distribution network”, explains Luca de Meo, CEO of the Renault Group.

Alpine’s first electric car will be the A290, a B-segment hot hatch derived from the Renault R5. Scheduled for 2024, this model will be based on the CMF-B EV platform. A C-segment GT crossover will arrive in 2025, while the third generation of the A110 will be launched at the end of 2026.

Alpine has partnered with RedBird and AutoNation for its US expansion

The company has taken the opportunity to confirm that it will develop a platform for electric sports cars called APP (Alpine Performance Platform), which will not only support the renewed A110 but also its roadster version and the new A310, a four-seater sports coupe that it will take up the name of its flagship model in the 70s. After that will be added two separately crossovers framed in segments D and E.

In parallel, the company is working on a hydrogen-powered internal combustion engine, a technology that, if successful, will be offered as an alternative to 100% electric propulsion systems in some of its vehicles.

“This wide range of sports cars will consolidate our participation in key markets such as Europe and Japan. It will drive our international growth, particularly in the US and Asia, where our new models will go on sale in 2027. Our goal is to expand from a niche brand to a full-fledged global brand,” says Laurent Rossi, CEO of Alpine.

The APP platform will be defined by software and will benefit from the technological developments of Ampere, the electrical division of the Renault Group. On the other hand, Alpine will partner with Google to offer next-generation connectivity services. The batteries for its high-performance electric cars will be supplied by Verkor, which will manufacture them in Dunkirk, France.

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023.
