A new step was taken today in the distribution of Renault Z.E.’s vehicles. Europcar just pre-ordered its first 500 electric vehicles from Renault, to be made available for rental. In the meantime, Schindler selected Renault to supply its vehicle fleet, starting at the end of 2010. Start your (electric) engines!
The Renault Z.E. revolution is stronger than ever! 500 Renault electric vehicles will be delivered to Europcar’s agencies located in the largest European cities, from the 3rdquarter of 2011. Europcar has given substance to the partnership agreement signed at the recent Frankfurt International Motor Show with Renault to promote zero-emission* mobility solutions. With the addition to its fleet of the Renault Fluence Z.E. and Kangoo Z.E. models from 2011 and then of the Zoe Z.E. in 2012, Europcar will make the “zero emission” solution available to its customers. “The interaction between our network and Renault’s technology will genuinely pave the way for a major advance in mobility solutions”, stated Rafael Girona, Chief Operating Officer of Europcar Groupe.
This announcement comes right after the signature of a memorandum of understanding between Renault and Schindler, aimed at promoting zero-emission mobility*. Schindler will be part of a pilot group that will test the first Renault zero-emission vehicles by the end of this year. The test will enable Renault to better understand the upcoming customer utilization of electric fleets and to fine-tune its offering for fleet business.

A couple of weeks ago, we asked our Facebook fans to share with us all the questions they could think of about the Renault Zoé Z.E. We forwarded them to Dominique Lucas, brand manager, who jumped at the chance to invite us to take a closer look at the innovative vehicle.
In this exclusive interview, you will discover the outside of the car, but also the inside: the sharp look, innovative green ideas and the improved security come together in perfect harmony. Dominique Lucas also unveils why the exclusive Spa concept will make you feel better than in any other car, how you will be able to personalize your dashboard, and shows the other breakout technologies.
