Renault's cooperation with the City of Florence began in 2011 when Matteo Renzi (then Mayor of Florence) signed an agreement with the Renault-Nissan Alliance on promotion of electric vehicles. The agreement materialised with the purchase of 53 Renault Twizy and 17 Renault Kangoo Z.E. for municipal duties.
As air quality becomes an increasingly critical challenge for major European cities, electric vehicles bring forth a much needed breakthrough solution.
"Massive introduction of electric vehicles, under support from relevant government authorities, can improve urban air quality and bring pollution levels down below the thresholds set by European standards," mentioned Martine Meyer, Renault's Health and Environment spokesperson, citing a study carried out in partnership with ARIA Technologies and the City of Rome, which finds conclusive results at street level. "With 20 percent of vehicles using electric power, particulate concentration in the city air could be reduced by up to 30 percent, and NO2 concentration by 45 percent."
The Renault-Nissan Alliance has signed a total of 120 agreements with government administrations, electric utility companies and other partners to promote the development of electric vehicles. Renault's Twizy holds huge customer appeal in a range of applications - car sharing fleets, tourist centres, private developments and new urban planning projects.
