The Common Module Family (CMF) is a modular architecture concept jointly developed by car manufacturers Nissan and Renault through their Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance partnership.[1][2] The concept covers a wide range of vehicle platforms.[3][4]

Main features

CMF is aimed at reducing manufacturing costs and competing with similar previous concepts as Volkswagen Group's MQB.[2] It consists of five groups of interchangeable, compatible modules: engine bay, cockpit, front underbody, rear underbody and electrical/electronic.[2] According to the companies involved in the development, CMF is not a conventional platform but rather a manufacturing system which can be applied to different vehicles.[5] The actual platforms are built combining a limited set of common modules: a single module can be used for different platforms, covering different classes of vehicles, and so allowing a greater standardisation of components between both Nissan, Renault and Mitsubishi.[6]

Applications

The Renault–Nissan Alliance announced various variants developed using CMF, which are CMF-C (D for large and mid-sized vehicles; examples are the third-generation Nissan X-Trail and the second-generation Nissan Qashqai), CMF-B for subcompacts/supermini, CMF-A for smaller vehicles, and CMF-EV for alliance wide BEV.[1] The CMF will initially be used in approximately 14 vehicle models worldwide with an estimated production of 1.6 million units annually.[7] The first CMF vehicles were introduced through 2013 with Nissan's CMF-C/D models.

CMF-A

The CMF-A platform underpins various vehicles in the A-segment or city car segment. The first CMF-A car, the Renault Kwid, was launched into the Indian market in September 2015.[2][8][9] The platform currently also supports electric powertrain, for the Renault City K-ZE and its rebadged models.

Vehicles using platform (calendar years):

  • Renault Kwid

  • Datsun redi-Go

CMFA-EV

The CMFA-EV is the name used for the CMF-A platform that is adapted for battery electric vehicle application.[11]

Vehicles using platform (calendar years):

  • Renault City K-ZE (2019–present)
    • Dongfeng Aeolus EX1 (2019–present)
    • Dongfeng Fengxing T1 (2019–present)
    • Dongfeng Fengguang E1 (2019–present)

  • Dacia Spring Electric (2021–present)

  • Renault City K-ZE

  • Venucia e30

  • Dongfeng Aeolus EX1

  • Dacia Spring Electric

CMF-A+

The CMF-A+ platform is a larger derivative of the CMF-A platform. The platform is mainly utilized for low-cost B-segment or subcompact vehicles for emerging markets.

Vehicles using platform (calendar years):

  • Renault Triber

  • Renault Kiger

  • Nissan Magnite

CMF-B

CMF-B HS

The CMF-B HS (high specifications) platform[15] underpins higher end vehicles in the B-segment/supermini or subcompact segment.[15] The platform replaces the B platform and V platform.

Vehicles using platform (calendar years):

  • Renault Clio

  • Renault Captur

  • Renault Arkana

  • Nissan Juke

  • Nissan Note

  • Nissan Note Aura

  • Mitsubishi Colt

  • Mitsubishi ASX

CMF-B LS

The CMF-B LS (low specifications) platform[20][21] underpins budget models in the B-segment/supermini or subcompact segment.[15] The platform replaces the B0 platform and M0 platform.

  • Dacia Logan

  • Dacia Sandero

  • Renault Taliant

  • Dacia Jogger

RMP

The RMP platform is presented as a new evolution of the CMF-B LS platform. It is aimed at emerging markets. The first vehicle using it is the Renault Kardian.[25][26][27]

CMF-B EV / AmpR Small

CMF-B EV (electric vehicle, also known as CMF-BEV, CMFB-EV or, since November 2023, as AmpR Small) is the CMF-B platform variant that has been adapted for low-cost B-segment battery electric vehicles. It shares approximately ​1⁄2 the components of the CMF-B platform.[28] The CMF-B EV platform was designed to reduce production cost and increase vehicle efficiency compared to the B-segment Renault Zoe, which used a bespoke platform.[29] Two types of traction batteries using NMC chemistry are expected: "high-performance" and "affordable" variants,[28] with the goal of reducing battery cost below US$80/kW-hr by 2030.[30] In November 2023, Renault subsidiary Ampere renamed this platform to AmpR Small.[31]

Vehicles using platform (calendar years):


CMF-C/D
