A next-generation automotive company fulfilling its sustainability pledges, Renault Group is radically revamping its vehicles’ design – starting at the drawing board. In an exclusive series of Design Talks, Gilles VIdal, the VP Design Renault, talks to guests about inspiration, emotion, design today and how all that is shaping Renault vehicles. Our designer’s first guest is Cléa Martinet, Renault Group’s VP Sustainable Development. They spoke about design as a catalyst for sustainability and about that point where electric vehicle desirability and the future of mobility converge. Read on for more about this exciting conversation about eco-design, featuring Renault’s All-new Scenic E-Tech electric.
Since the very beginning of the development of Renault’s first electric models, a series of new and fascinating questions have arisen about the characteristic silence of the way they work. How do you warn pedestrians of the approach of a vehicle that has an engine that makes almost no noise? How do you produce an audible warning that is both effective and benign? How do you create a signature sound design for electric vehicles that is exclusive to the brand? Laurent Worms, the Audio Strategy Manager at Renault Group, tells us about the process for creating what is known as a VSP. And to explore the voices of the electric vehicles of the future, a visit to Renault Group’s long-time partner, Ircam (Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music), is a must!
The BMW iX heralds a new age in mobility. It combines trailblazing design and modern luxury with the latest innovations in automated driving, operation, connectivity and digital services. The BMW Group’s new technology flagship focuses on both locally emission-free driving pleasure – combined with the brand’s hallmark sporting ability, efficiency and convincing operating range – and an unwavering, integrated approach to sustainability applied from the ground up.
After a first episode devoted to the reinterpretation of the cult look of the original R5, we take another look backstage at Renault Design. In the spotlight, François Leboine, Director of Design Concept and Show-Cars at Renault. He explains how to succeed in the retro-futuristic exercise carried out on the Renault 5 Prototype, building a bridge between past and present.
Conceived from the outset for purely electric mobility, the iX sees BMW redefining the successful Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) concept. With its completely newly developed, precise and minimalist design, the BMW iX is the first representative of a trailblazing generation of cars poised to redefine the driving experience, the feeling of space inside and the relationship between vehicles and those on board.The BMW iX harnesses the latest innovations in the fields of electrification, automated driving and connectivity to deliver a mobility experience which puts people more than ever at its heart. To this end, its design has been developed from the inside out. The BMW iX has been created to provide quality of life and wellbeing for drivers and passengers. The clear and minimalist design of its exterior showcases a new form of mobility geared squarely to the needs of the vehicle’s occupants. Its interior offers those on board innovative options for using the time during a journey – and enjoying relaxation, safety, security, and a new form of luxury in the process.
