Ford and Renault Group have signed a partnership agreement to develop and manufacture two Ford-branded electric vehicles (EVs) in Europe. The models will be based on Renault's Ampere platform and produced at Renault facilities in northern France using Ampere's ElectriCity production capabilities. The partnership is part of Ford's strategy to build a highly efficient EV business in Europe, following a US$19.5bn write-down related to its EV operations. Ford will combine Renault's industrial scale and EV assets with its own design and driving dynamics to create the vehicles.
