Europe’s generation of electric vehicles (EVs) is entering a new chapter. On December 9, 2025, Ford and Renault announced a strategic partnership. Under this deal, Renault will provide its advanced EV platform, known as the Ampere platform, enabling Ford to build small, lower‑cost electric cars for the European market.  We believe this move could reshape the EV landscape in Europe. With prices of EVs often a key barrier for many buyers, combining Renault’s cost‑effective EV architecture with Ford’s brand and design promises to make electric cars more accessible.
