Renault electric cars
Renault has revealed a total of four electric concept cars, which are due to become available to motorists from 2012.
Renault estimates that electric vehicles will account for 10 percent of the world market by 2020. The Renault-Nissan Alliance will be a key player in this new form of mobility with 1.5 million Renault and Nissan electric vehicles on the roads by 2016. The Alliance is investing €4 billion in a Zero Emission programme that will focus on the development of electric vehicles.
Electric vehicles are the flagships of Renault’s ecodrive, which is focused on more ecologically-aware and affordable products and services. The ambitious ecodrive project has secured the backing of governments and Renault has focused on training its sales staff and technicians to enhance levels of customer service. Electric vehicles were first tested in The Sims 3 virtual community before being put through real-world trials involving more than 400 EVs and a panel of users across 9 markets.
In its ‘Renault 2016 – Drive the Change’ plan, the Renault group committed to reducing its global carbon footprint by 10 percent between now and 2013, and by a further 10 percent between 2013 and 2016. This will be achieved through new technologies for internal combustion engines and transmissions, and developing the manufacture of electric vehicles.
Electric vehicles demonstrate Renault’s drive for innovation and commitment to investing in the environment, to protect future generations. Electric cars are fast becoming a reality for the UK car buying public. Electric cars also offer mobility with zero CO2 emissions during road use.
