Blog of RENAULT NISSAN Alliance

The Renault-Nissan Alliance was the official passenger-car shuttle provider for COP21, which ran from Nov. 30 through Dec. 11. The Alliance EV fleet was the world’s largest electric-vehicle fleet ever provided to an international conference.

The 200 EVs fleet featured the Renault ZOE, the Nissan LEAF and the Nissan e-NV200, and was driven by 160 Renault and Nissan employees who volunteered as drivers and electric vehicle ambassadors.

 

They provided more than 3,800 transfers, shuttling more than 8,000 VIP delegates, media and negotiators to and from hotels to the Bourget conference venue north of Paris.

They traveled at least 175,000 kms during the Paris climate talks -- without emitting any CO₂ tailpipe emissions and without using any petroleum whatsoever, thus, saving nearly 182 barrels of oil or 18 tons of CO₂ not emitted while driving.
