Eurpcar Pre-Orders 500 Renault Electric Vehicles
Europcar has pre-ordered 500 Renault electric vehicles for delivery in European cities from the third quarter of 2011, following the memorandum of understanding on electric vehicles signed on September 16, 2009.
According to Renault, its short-term rental partner in Europe, Europcar has given substance to the partnership agreement signed with Renault to promote zero-emission mobility solutions.
In addition, through a roll-out targeting its rental outlets in European cities, Europcar is set to offer its customers the new Renault zero emission range from 2011 in the European short-term rental market.
The company said that it is preparing a new solution which provides mobility for all. The four cars demonstrated at the Frankfurt motor show including Twizy ZE concept, Zoe ZE concept, Fluence ZE concept and Kangoo ZE are an expectation of electric vehicle (EV) range.
The market launch of the electric vehicles will begin in 2011 with three models including a family sedan, a small city car, and an LCV-version Kangoo for fleets and business users. They will be followed in 2012 by a compact 4-meter 5-seater sedan, the company said.
Rafael Girona, chief operating officer of Europcar Groupe, said: “Europcar reaches a decisive point in bringing electric vehicles into the rental market; they will join the ecofriendly fleet that already features on our web sites.
With the addition to its fleet of the Renault Fluence ZE and Kangoo ZE Models from 2011 and then of the Zoe ZE in 2012, Europcar is giving substance even more tangibly to the commitments set forth in its Charter for the Environment.”
