    Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi, the world's leading automotive alliance, today

announced the production release of the Alliance Intelligent Cloud, a new

platform that is enabling Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi

    Motors to deliver connected services in vehicles sold in nearly all 200

markets served by the Alliance member companies. Culminating joint development

efforts between the Alliance and Microsoft, the auto

    industry's first global and most ambitious connected vehicle program will

be deployed utilizing cloud, artificial intelligence (AI) and IoT technologies

provided by Microsoft Azure. Azure provides the

    Alliance with a global data platform to securely capture, manage and

analyze vehicle data to deliver intelligent services based on the vast volume

of data created by connected vehicles.

Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi, said: "Today we are deploying a vehicle connectivity

platform that will transform the digital experience for

    customers of Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi. Through our collaboration with

Microsoft, we are introducing the most powerful and far-reaching connected

vehicle platform. Leveraging the size and scale of the

    Alliance, we have built an intelligent cloud platform that sets the pace

for our industry."

    "Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi is a longstanding partner and our first

strategic partner for the Microsoft connected vehicle platform," said

Jean-Phillipe Courtois, EVP and President, Microsoft Global Sales,

    Marketing & Operations at Microsoft. "Today's production release of the

Alliance Intelligent Cloud enables a new generation of connected services

powered by Microsoft Azure to come to market."

    The first vehicles produced with Alliance Intelligent Cloud technology will

be the all-new Renault Clio and selected Nissan Leaf models sold in Japan and

Europe. These are also the first vehicles powered by

    the Microsoft connected vehicle platform available to consumers at scale.

    Vehicles utilizing the Alliance Intelligent Cloud will benefit from

seamless access to the internet, providing enhanced remote diagnostics,

continuous software deployment, firmware updates as well as access

    to infotainment services.
