Renault–Nissan Common Module Family


The Common Module Family is a modular architecture concept jointly developed by car manufacturers Nissan and Renault through their Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance partnership. The concept covers a wide range of vehicle platforms.

Main features

CMF is aimed at reducing manufacturing costs and competing with similar previous concepts as Volkswagen Group's MQB. It consists of five groups of interchangeable, compatible modules: engine bay, cockpit, front underbody, rear underbody and electrical/electronic. 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. 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 among Nissan, Renault and Mitsubishi.

Applications

The Renault–Nissan Alliance announced various variants developed using CMF, which are CMF-C, CMF-B for subcompacts/supermini, CMF-A for smaller vehicles, and CMF-EV for alliance wide BEV. The CMF will initially be used in approximately 14 vehicle models worldwide with an estimated production of 1.6 million units annually. The first CMF vehicles were introduced through 2013 with Nissan's CMF-C/D models.
Dacia, Datsun, Dongfeng, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Renault, and Venucia have all used CMF platforms. Alpine and Lada are expected to begin using the platforms in 2025.

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. The platform currently also supports electric powertrain, for the Renault City K-ZE and its rebadged models.

CMFA-EV

The CMFA-EV is the name used for the CMF-A platform that is adapted for battery electric vehicle application.
Vehicles using platform :

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.

CMF-B LS

The CMF-B LS platform underpins budget models in the B-segment/supermini or subcompact segment. The platform replaces the B0 platform and M0 platform.
Vehicles using platform :
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.

CMF-B EV / AmpR Small

CMF-B EV is the CMF-B platform variant that has been adapted for low-cost B-segment battery electric vehicles. It shares approximately the components of the CMF-B platform. 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. Two types of traction batteries using chemistry are expected: "high-performance" and "affordable" variants, with the goal of reducing battery cost below US$80/kW-hr by 2030. In November 2023, Renault subsidiary Ampere renamed this platform to AmpR Small. With the Twingo E-Tech, an LFP battery option becomes available. In December 2025, it was announced that Ford would produce two new cars for the European market based on the platform.
