Global News: Renault to Avail Electric Vehicles for Testing
Renault is also into the green movement by allowing its prototype to be tested. Let's hope we can see it on Singapore's shores for next year's testing.
Conscious of the stakes associated with global warming, Renault has been working for many years to bring down the CO2 emissions of its models over their complete lifecycle as part of its ongoing bid to reduce the ecological footprint of the automobile. As demonstrated by its Renault eco² programme in favour of the environment, Renault believes it is essential to ensure that the most effective technologies are available to as many motorists as possible at an affordable price.
Renault estimates that electric vehicles will account for 10 per cent of the world market by 2020. The Alliance is investing €4 billion in its zero emissions programme and a 2,000-strong team (1,000 at Renault, and 1,000 at Nissan) is already working on electric vehicles.
Renault has decided to make a number of electric vehicle prototypes available to accredited attendees with for test drive purposes
(previous appointment must be made). These prototypes, the Renault Fluence Z.E., Kangoo Express Z.E. and Kangoo be bop Z.E. will be made available for the testing. These vehicles, except for the Kangoo be bop, will feature technology which is very similar to that of the upcoming production cars slated to start in 2011 in Israel and Europe.
