Electrification
The electrification of mobility and the efficiency of electrified powertrains covering:
- electric motors, manufacture and optimisation,
- power electronics, manufacture and contribution to powertrain efficiency,
- batteries, associated chemistries, battery management systems, repairability and recycling.
The programme is organised around the E-Mobility Industry Academy (EMIA) training campuses. Based at the industrial sites of Renault Group (Cléon), Forvia (Caligny) and Renault Trucks (Blainville), the E-Mobility Industry Academy helps site employees and process engineers to develop the technological skills needed to manufacture electric motors and vehicles.
Unique in France, the courses are based on "learning by practice", where students devote 70% of their time to hands-on work on the training lines.
Manufacturing electric motors
Renault Group has invested over €1 million in educational and technological resources at the Cléon plant, which houses one of the three training centres of the E-Mobility Industry Academy (EMIA). The objective is to teach trainees to build electric motors. Developed in partnership with Ingénieurs 2000, the CNAM learning centre and NextMove, the courses are taught by our in-house instructors on a 13-machine training line.
The programme includes practical retraining modules covering all the technologies involved in building an electric motor: stator and rotor winding, impregnation, electrical and electronic testing, etc. Based on the analysis of manufacturing processes, the courses teach trainees to design or manage high-tech, high-performance, efficient production lines.
The courses are between 4 and 6 weeks long, and are open to employees of other companies, people in retraining, and students studying taking a one-year higher education diploma after the baccalaureate.
In 2023, the E-Mobility Industry Academy won a prize at the NextMove Awards in the “Industrial and Operational Excellence” category.
It is also supported by the 2030 recovery plan, following the call for expressions of interest in “Skills and trades for the future”.
