00:00Welcome to the National Anthem.
00:30The Marque Alpine is light and sportivity, light in a almost philosophical sense,
00:55which represents what the experience can bring in the pleasure of driving.
01:00The role of the Alpine Car is developing cars of route and innovative technologies that will help ensure their sportivity.
01:10Innovation has always been a key for Jean-Ray Delay.
01:13The beginning, Jean-Ray Delay has been very focused on the organes, on the technologies of Renault
01:20to focus on what was important to maximize the efficiency.
01:25Jean-Ray Delay has mentioned the innovation and the pleasure of driving cars.
01:28And in particular, Jean-Ray Delay has worked a lot with lightness.
01:33Dès l'A106 de 1955, with this Carl Rossery in fibre de verre,
01:38which was an innovation for the time and allowed cars to lighten.
01:42We can say in 1958, the A108, with the chassis poutre, which allowed to increase the rigidity of the car,
01:50while keeping it very light.
01:52And then, on the Berynette, he used these technologies,
01:55he optimized them at the maximum.
01:57And in addition, the car had a very successful aesthetic,
02:00which has assured its competitiveness and success.
02:02The first Alpines were very close to racing cars,
02:09and I think that today, we see that the DNA of the race is present in the products that we put in the street.
02:15It's really important to keep this synergy between the competition,
02:22and the road cars that we make.
02:24These exchanges between Alpine Racing and Alpine Cars,
02:28it's something that is a lot of historical, but that also motivates the teams.
02:32On the development of the Alpine A110 Actual,
02:35we worked thoroughly and made a contribution to Alpine Racing,
02:39using both their means of calculation and simulation for the dimension thermo-mécanics of the engine,
02:46but also their means of physical and the means of metrology.
02:50For the 110 Actual,
02:52our engineers have done a lot of work with the allegement,
02:55and it's done by a carrosserie,
02:57and a structure entirely in aluminum,
02:59assembled by a process of rivetage and collage,
03:03which is a technology reserved for cars,
03:05which is an exception.
03:06An A110,
03:07it makes 200-300 kg of less than its competitors,
03:09and in the same time,
03:10with a very good aspect quality.
03:11I think that the expertise that we have accumulated here,
03:13at Alpine Racing,
03:14it's been a long time that it contributes
03:16to the quality of what we do
03:18and to the products that we can put in the street,
03:20and to the electrification,
03:21that we have,
03:22again,
03:23we have the total control here,
03:24at Alpine Racing,
03:25since we have completely integrated the concept
03:27of the electric traction chain.
03:29I'm in charge of the product at Alpine,
03:34which means to understand the clients
03:37to whom we are addressing,
03:38and to accompany the engineering and design
03:40in this relation to the client's expectations.
03:43The world changes,
03:44the clients also evolve with this world,
03:47and we have new expectations that emerge,
03:50which arise.
03:51There are expectations on the durability of our cars,
03:54in terms of carbonation,
03:55impacts on the environment.
04:00The passage to electric,
04:01it's no longer a question,
04:03it's a necessity.
04:05The two main challenges
04:06when we move from thermals
04:08to electric vehicles,
04:10it's the increase of mass,
04:11which goes against the ADN of the brand.
04:14So there is an issue
04:15to preserve the historical agility
04:19of the Alpine brand,
04:20all having to manage
04:22a mass,
04:23or a weight.
04:24So there,
04:25we have a pilot system
04:26that can help and facilitate
04:28the vehicles
04:29to perform agilely,
04:32and dynamic.
04:33One of the main systems
04:36on which we have worked recently,
04:38is the Active Torque Vectoring.
04:39It's a pilot system
04:41that allows us to have
04:42a precise gestion
04:44and differentiate
04:45from the torque to the wheel,
04:47to facilitate the performance
04:50of the vehicle
04:52in dynamic.
04:53The first time
04:54that I was driving
04:55a A390,
04:57it reminded me of
04:58an old feeling
04:59when I was passing
05:01from the right to the right
05:02to the left.
05:03We find this agility,
05:05this facilitation
05:06that gives a huge pleasure.
05:09And the second time,
05:10it's the acoustic aspect.
05:12Because the passage
05:13from thermals to electric,
05:15we lose the musicality
05:17of the thermals.
05:18To be able to recreate
05:19a sound and acoustic dimension
05:22that somehow transcend
05:23the behavior of the car,
05:25it's a real challenge.
05:26The goal is to give
05:28the client a additional dimension
05:30on the dynamic behavior
05:33of the car through the sound.
05:37The electric technology
05:38opens new horizons.
05:40It allows, for example,
05:42we have a better mass
05:44because we can put
05:45heavy mass,
05:46very well positioned
05:47in the car,
05:48low,
05:49close to the gravity center.
05:50But it also allows,
05:51thanks to the electric engine
05:53that we can pilot
05:54at almost a millisecond
05:55of almost a millisecond
05:56to introduce
05:57some pilot strategies
05:59that we could not have
06:00with the thermic.
06:01We have to invest
06:04in a new band
06:06of simulation
06:07dynamic vehicle.
06:08It's the same thing
06:09that what is used
06:10for example
06:11in Formula 1
06:12or in sports
06:13automobile.
06:14And it's the same approach
06:15that we are trying
06:16to put in place
06:17for the development
06:18of the future vehicles.
06:19We are creating
06:23the Hypertech Alpine Racing
06:25Hypertech Alpine
06:26which is a high technology structure
06:29and a real window
06:30for the engineering
06:31of Group Renault
06:32and of Alpine, of course,
06:33in particular.
06:34These are really
06:35the people
06:36who today
06:37make the Formula 1 engines
06:39and who are involved
06:40in endurance,
06:41by example,
06:42who will contribute
06:43tomorrow
06:44to these projects
06:45Group Renault.
06:46It's going to be
06:48for the development
06:49of new technologies.
06:50It's also going to be
06:51for the ways
06:52of reasoning
06:53that we use
06:54in competition
06:55which are quite different
06:56from what we can see
06:57in the automobile industry
06:58to get out of the field
07:00and think
07:01outside of the company
07:02as we say in English.
07:03I think that
07:04it's really important
07:05and it can give
07:06great things
07:07in any case,
07:08I'm convinced.
07:11We are developing
07:12here
07:13at Alpine Racing
07:14the engine
07:15of the future
07:18supercar Alpine
07:19and this is very
07:20very promising.
07:21We are going to see
07:22the real transfer
07:23of the technology
07:24and the knowledge
07:25of the people
07:26of the F1
07:27and the endurance
07:28to a car
07:29that will be homologized
07:30on the road.
07:31And I think
07:32that will be a lot of fun.
