Renault, the company that decided the electric breakthrough ten years ago, in truly 'pioneering' times, now has 350,000 electric vehicles on the roads around the world, with the largest fleet of BEVs in Europe.
It has achieved this with eight different 100% battery-powered models, from small 'towns' like the Twizy quadricycle to the Master commercial vehicles.
'' So far we have sold over 110,000 Zoes in France alone - recalled Luca De Meo, CEO of the Renault Group during the recent event dedicated to the EWays strategy - a model that is the European best-seller of electric cars in 2020 and this year is the best-selling battery vehicle in the world after Tesla Model 3 ''.
And Renault, in a market that in 5 years will see 50% represented by pure battery or hybrid models, this commitment - and above all this leadership - confirms that it is possible to achieve the objectives that governments, regulators and manufacturers have set for themselves. data for environmental sustainability.
'' Already by 2022 our entire range - underlined De Meo - will be composed of models with an electric or electrified version.
This is why we are one step ahead in the energy transition.
And today as a company we are committed to the challenge to achieve a zero CO2 impact by 2050 in Europe, reaching a reduction of 50% by 2030 compared to 2010.
Experience gives us a clear competitive advantage - said the CEO of the Renault Group - and we want to keep it, also in terms of reusing materials ''.
The launch in Italy of Twingo Electric therefore takes on a value that goes beyond the commercial ambitions and the many advantages for users, given the absolute convenience of a program that provides monthly fees starting from 89 euros.
This unprecedented zero-emission segment A, true 'queen of the city', is the ideal link between the important and decisive 'near past' of the Losanga in electrification and its future, represented by a new dedicated platform and the two models that were presented by De Meo in the EWays event, namely the Mégane eVision and the Dacia Spring Electric.
'' Twingo Electric is the fifth fully electric vehicle that we launch in our country - said Eric Pasquier, general manager of Renault Italy - after Twizy, Zoe, Kangoo ZE and Master ZE, which is registered, together with the launch of the E-Tech hybrid in the full hybrid version of Clio and the plug-in hybrid of Captur and Mégane Sporter, in the Renault electrified strategy.
This clearly translates Renault's commitment into an eco-responsible policy, which also relies on other types of engines, less polluting, such as LPG.
Beyond the achievement of our CO2 objectives, this product strategy will have to allow us to confirm, at the end of the year, our leadership in the electric and LPG markets and enter the Top 5 of the best-selling brands in the plug-in hybrid market.
And clearly the Renault Group's electrified offensive will continue in 2021 ''.
