- Ford will design two small electric cars that use Renault's Ampere architecture.
- Manufacturing is planned at Renault's ElectriCity complex in northern France.
- A Letter of Intent sets out exploration of joint projects in light commercial vehicles.
- The collaboration seeks shared scale and investment to compete more effectively with Tesla and fast-growing Chinese manufacturers.
- Ford's Almussafes plant in Spain shifts to a Kuga-based hybrid from 2027, which unions say stabilizes near-term workload after missing the small EV allocation.
