QUEBEC : RENAULT BACK IN AMERICA !
It is official, Renault will present the Twizy at the 2015 Quebec Auto Show - 34e Salon International de l'Auto de Québec - in Canada. A first step to see Renault back in the USA and Canada.
Quebec wants to be the world leader in electric vehicles. This is a match ! Renault has the largest electric vehicle range with its Z.E. program, Z.E. for Zero Emission.
Furthermore, we know that Renault is looking for a partner to commercialize Twizy in Quebec.
Available for the European market, the Z.E. range includes 5 vehicles from the Neighborhood Electric Vehicles to the electric cars/light commercial vehicles.
The "Québécois" Twizy was modified to respect the North American laws. As you know, when a car is registered in Canada, it is pretty simple to import and register the car in the USA.
As far as we know, one Twizy was imported from Germany to Florida a few year ago.
The Renault Z.E. is a program of all-electric cars from Renault and it began with a series of Z.E. concept cars. The first production car is the Renault Fluence Z.E. that is scheduled for sales to the public in Israel and Denmark by late 2011 as part of the Better Place network. In 2011 Renault was awarded a contract to supply 15,600 electric vehicles to the French Government and the state-owned postal service, La Poste. The vehicles are to contribute to a planned 25,000 electric vehicle fleet owned by the French Government.
