Renault-Nissan to provide 200 EVs to UN COP21 climate conference
The fully electric car fleet will shuttle delegates 24 hours, seven days week to key venues around the conference, as a complement to public transportation.
The move marks the first time the UN will use a zero-emission fleet for its entire passenger car shuttle at a COP event.
The COP21 car fleet will feature the Renault ZOE, the Renault Kangoo Z.E. van, the Renault Fluence Z.E. sedan, the Nissan LEAF compact car and the seven-seater Nissan e-NV200 van.
The Renault-Nissan Alliance will work with companies in France to set up a network of more than 50 quick and standard charging stations powered by 100% renewable energy in strategic locations. The quick charging stations will be able to charge the EVs from 0 to 80% capacity in about 30 minutes.
Renault Nissan will also participate in Solutions COP21, an international exhibition on climate-change solutions, at the Grand Palais in Paris.
"We are delighted to announce that the Renault-Nissan Alliance is an official partner of COP21 in Paris. Thanks to the Alliance's fleet of 100% electric vehicles, it will contribute to our goal of achieving a carbon neutral event. The technology of electric vehicles helps reduce greenhouse gases in the transportation sector efficiently," said Laurent Fabius, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Development, President of COP21.
