When Renault unveiled the Duster for India, it said the SUV was underpinned by the Renault Global Modular Platform (RGMP) despite being nearly identical to the European model which is based on the Common Module Family B (CMFB) platform. To be clear, the two platforms are not completely unique but are in fact quite similar. So what then are the differences that have merited the two platforms distinct names?
