sports vehicle brand Alpine might be culled or transformed as part of a new, wide-ranging expense cutting bundle revealed today by owner Renault, which is aiming to save €2bn over the next three years with a combination of restructuring as well as as much as 15,000 task losses. 
Groupe Renault has determined a number of expense cutting procedures to be taken to “optimise” production, which will save the business around €650m by 2023. much of this optimisation will focus on minimizing excess production capability as well as with it costs, as well as Renault has verified that it means to hold an “open reflection on the reconversion of the Dieppe plant at the end of production of the Alpine A110.”

Renault as well as Nissan experience heavy losses in 2020

That would suggest that Renault either means to transform the Alpine facility into a mainline Renault factory, or adapt it for a reformulated as well as wider Alpine brand.

“Clearly the Alpine is a gorgeous brand as well as we do have to look extremely seriously at the future of this brand to see exactly how it can continue to bring value to the group,” explained Renault Chairman Jean-Dominique Senard, who stated that incoming CEO Luca De Meo would be on board before any type of final decision on the Alpine brand would be made. 
However, Jean-Dominique verified that some modifications would be coming, while hinting that Renault would like to keep Alpine’s personnel. 
“As far as the Dieppe plant is concerned, it is rather evident that we cannot continue as we are doing today. The plant does not manufacture sufficient automobiles for us to think about its future serenely.
“We are going to continue to believe about exactly how we can add value to the Dieppe plant. It is made up of people who are passionate about Alpine.
“There is so much skill within this plant that we have to make sure that it is utilized productively, however we cannot preserve the condition quo.”
Alpine was reintroduced in 2017 with the reborn, Porsche 718 rivalling A110 sports car, while the Dieppe facility is a former Renaultsport factory. The brand has yet to introduce a second design considering that revival.
