Alpine creates Hypertech Alpine, its new high-tech engineering centre in Viry-Châtillon

• As the future centre of excellence, Hypertech Alpine will combine cutting-edge engineering and expertise in high-performance automotive for Alpine and Renault Group.
• Based in Viry-Châtillon, this centre of excellence in engineering will begin operations by  late 2024 and, from the outset, will work on the Group’s and the brand’s future projects while maintaining a solid foothold in motorsport with:
  • The Future Alpine Supercar, by contributing to its development,
  • R&D on cells and new battery chemistries, in particular with the solid state battery technology,
  • Research into new electric motor technologies,
  • The continuation of motor racing programmes managed at Viry-Châtillon, such as the WEC endurance race or the Dakar Rally,
  • The implementation of an F1 monitoring unit to master technical developments in this industry,
  • The development of engineering services for other companies.
• This site transformation will involve reallocating resources and competencies currently assigned to the F1 engine. Each collaborator involved with the project will be offered a position within Hypertech Alpine in Viry-Châtillon.
• The scale of the project and its ambition on cutting-edge technologies will support the brand’s growth strategy and unprecedented goals to expand its range of vehicles, with 7 models by 2030.
