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.[4] 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.[5] Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi announced various variants developed using CMF: 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.[6] The first CMF vehicles were introduced through 2013 with Nissan's CMF-C/D models. The first CMF-A car, the Renault Kwid,[7] was launched into the Indian market in September 2015.[2][8]

It is planned to adopt capital business tie-up in 2016. and to Mitsubishi Motors cars which it put in the Renault-Nissan alliance from 2019.

Notes
  1. Names of the platforms created using CMF.
gollark: Paying them a lot is actually somewhat good in that it hopefully attracts better people, and makes them less likely to take money from others.
gollark: > If they're fit to rule they will survive.I mean, kind of? If you randomly remove governments *somehow* when they run into some kind of issue, I figure you would introduce far more problems.
gollark: That would probably be bad. Governments do important things. Sometimes.
gollark: Big governments are ALWAYS in debt. They seem to magically materialize money somehow.
gollark: Indeed. Governments really need better APIs.
