Thierry Koskas on the Renault & Nissan EVs that are driving zero-emission motoring

Thierry Koskas, Renault Program Director for Electric Vehicles and a member of the Renault-Nissan Alliance, tells The New Economy about the successful new models that are driving zero-emission motoring. Nissan has sold more than 27,000 LEAFs since launching the family hatchback in December 2010, and Renault has already taken more than 5,000 orders for its new EVs since they launched late last year.

Koskas also explains the changes making electric vehicles more appealing and accessible, and the behaviours they're set to change forever.

With a full range of pure electric vehicles, Renault and Nissan are the global leaders in sustainable mobility.

The Renault-Nissan Alliance has spent many years perfecting a range of silent-running electric vehicles that produce no tailpipe emissions whatsoever:
–    Family cars
–    Chic urban transport
–    Compact hatchbacks
–    Practical vans
