50,000th Renault ZOE delivered

It is official – Team Enstone will have new owners come 2016. The team currently named Lotus F1, and using Mercedes engines, will become a works Renault team again, after the French Company withdrew their works effort a couple of years ago. The company made it clear though, that this F1 effort will be a long term commitment, as they are aware that they are lagging behind the Mercedes and Ferrari duo in terms of engine development. They want to win, and victory may come in more ways than one – remember, the Renault-Nissan Group has ties with Daimler, so the company could perhaps run rebranded Mercedes engines in the future. Still, everything remains as rumours and speculations for now, for no official confirmation has been given by either company yet. Pictures used for illustration purposes only.

Groupe Renault’s industrial design team is marking the 50th anniversary of the death of Le Corbusier by designing and creating a project for a 21st century car inspired by the architect’s modernist principles and theories. The interwar period saw the birth of modern architecture and the modern automobile. These developments had a major impact on lifestyles, particularly through the growth in car ownership in Europe and worldwide after 1945.

Business owners who care a great deal for the environment will be excited to know that utility car manufacturer Renault will be presenting the all-electric New Renault Kangoo Z.E. at next month's European Motor Show. To be held from 13 January 2017 to 22 January 2017, the European Motor Show, which will take place in Brussels, Belgium, will showcase the latest light commercial vehicles from renowned and startup car-makers. The first day of the European Motor Show will be reserved for press use. The remaining exhibition days will be open to the public. The New Renault Kangoo Z.E. is touted as the most practical transport solution for businesses. Designed to run entirely on electricity, the New Renault Kangoo Z.E. can cover approximately 125 kilometres on a single charge. Depending on the power source, each charge last between six to nine hours. It is also the only vehicle in the small van segment that can offer the longest available driving range. Available in three different configurations, the New Renault Kangoo Z.E. has a payload of 650 kilograms, a respectable figure that should be more than adequate to transport the heaviest equipment. If the above cannot entice you, perhaps the interior of the New Renault Kangoo Z.E. will. Built as a sedan under the guise of a workhorse, the New Renault Kangoo Z.E. incorporates a host of features that offer unparalleled driving pleasure. It has cruise control to optimise your driving experience. Bluetooth and USB components and rear parking sensor come as standard. The steering wheel is fitted with column controls so that you need not have to take your hands away from the steering wheel to change the radio station or adjust the volume. The New Renault Kangoo Z.E. even has rain and light sensors to take away the minute hassles of fiddling with the controls.
