Permission given to use the script provided that this notice remains as is. The future Renault Twingo and Clio and Nissan Micra will share the same P1 platform. But that may be followed by the development of a platform for the next Renault Megane and Scenic as well as the Nissan Almera, Tino compact minivan and Primera. For the next Twingo, Clio and Micra, engineering input is coming from both Renault and Nissan. Common parts include a small-capacity diesel engine to be developed by Renault, and a small gasoline engine from Nissan.
Shared production is another aspect.
Joint annual production volume of the P1 platforms could run as high as 1.2 million units. Deconinck said platform commonality at Renault could go as high as 70 percent. Commonality at Renault includes powertrains, suspension systems and, increasingly, air conditioning systems. Common steel stampings are only applied when they do not affect brand identity. The current Megane range is an early example of Renault's evolving platform philosophy.
