Electric Vehicles Focused on Sharing Services from Renault Are Successful
The first is the Mobilize DUO, a two-seat electric passenger vehicle for its own sharing service. It has an exterior similar to the Citroën Ami.
According to Renault, the Mobilize DUO is up to 95% recyclable. The Mobilize Bento is designed for delivery services and also has a cargo variant based on the DUO. The Mobilize has a rear compartment of one cubic meter for loading goods.
Finally, the Mobilize HIPPO is one of the small electric vehicles for making deliveries in places where vehicles with combustion engines are prohibited, such as in closed warehouses or in central areas of cities.
The electric vehicles for deliveries and sharing services from Renault will be equipped with a maximum of four batteries, with a capacity of 2.3 kWh to 9.2 kWh. The energy reserve was not disclosed by Renault, but as a basis, the Citroën Ami uses a 5.5 kWh battery and has a maximum range of 75 kilometers. Thus, it is unlikely that Mobilize vehicles will be used outside urban environments.
Renault Accelerates Demand in the Electric Vehicle Market
Renault is trying to innovate with its sustainable vehicles. The French company has been selling electric vehicles in Brazil since 2013, and the most recent and innovative project is the idea of creating cars with removable batteries, considering the delay that electric cars face when recharging.
The exchange procedure can take about 5 minutes, a time comparable to refueling a combustion car. According to the company’s CEO, the idea is great, but there are still many things to consider for the project to become viable.
