00:00The Twingo launch is a huge event for Renault Group.
00:04We are probably the sole non-Chinese automakers capable to develop a car in less than two years.
00:13I would like to emphasize the strong contribution of the Ampere concept. It's a fantastic team job.
00:19This project was a true challenge and the unique way to make it possible was to catch up our Chinese competitors,
00:33to work differently and to decrease a lot the amount of the H3 ticket.
00:38Developing a vehicle in two years, we had never done it.
00:42It didn't enter all our work methods, so it seemed impossible.
00:48The vehicles electric have some difficulties to be adopted in Europe just because of the price.
00:53So the Twingo is a genuine European response to face car affordability in the electric era.
01:01When they told us that we had to make the Twingo in 200 and in less than 20.000 euros,
01:08the first question that we asked us was how to make it all together.
01:15We knew from the beginning that we wanted to make a compact car, citizen,
01:19taking some of the current codes of the Twingo first.
01:24And all that, of course, in a price that is the most close possible
01:28of the thermal vehicles for electric cars.
01:31We are on a very restricted team and there are three pillars.
01:34There is the product that will define the concept.
01:36There is the design and engineering.
01:39We wanted very quickly to have these three key roles
01:41to give the reality to this idea.
01:45The challenge was that we had to change the method.
01:49So we had to work in the mode commando,
01:51to work differently to achieve different results.
01:54We had one month to be able to release a film with a first image of this concept car
02:02and that it was feasible.
02:04We had the meetings that we usually do every week.
02:08Now we decided that we have to go every day,
02:11even sometimes, once and once,
02:13every day, if it's necessary.
02:14It's a state of mind and different mindset.
02:16This is one of the most important moments to demonstrate that we as a team,
02:23we are capable to develop successfully and profitably a project within 24 months.
02:29The first drawing of the Twingo was very simplified.
02:33It was a few points,
02:34but with some points,
02:35we already saw its eyes so expressive.
02:37That's where we have the sense.
02:39And that's what we will develop later in a much bigger way.
02:43The engineering side,
02:44the challenge is to be able very quickly
02:47to set a macro plan of the car
02:50and to be able very quickly to tell what we can do or not.
02:54The proposal that is made here,
02:58in the volume demanded by the design,
03:00is a compromise between the re-conducting of the driving position,
03:05the volume of the car and the habitability of the rang 2.
03:08And that's what we need to work.
03:11We define the type of object that we want to make,
03:14the cost target,
03:15and then we will see how we can do it at the minimum cost.
03:19Everyone has a heart to achieve this car
03:22and to get her in the street,
03:24we need to achieve these objectives.
03:26It's at this point
03:27that we pass the relationship
03:29auprès of the development teams.
03:31There is a fierté
03:32to be accomplished.
03:33There is always a little pincement
03:35in the heart of passing the baby,
03:36but it's part of the important steps
03:38of the development.
03:39in the time to deal with all the working-SU enlist
03:53and in time,
03:54the production pieces.
03:55It definitely looks like a Kenia in the office
03:57thatakes the other field notари Calant,
03:59which is a ways in terms of the re-establishment car
03:59that sees the world.
04:00We will help you really with your features,
04:02it will look great at the utilized
