During the World Economic Forum on the Middle East, Renault and the Royal Hashemite Court of the Jordan agreed an order of 150 ZOE. It’s the biggest order of ZOE since its launch in 2013!

 

The agreement was signed between Bernard Cambier – Chairman of the Renault Africa Middle East India Region, Khaled Nosseir – Chairman of the official Renault distributor (AIM) in Jordan and King Abdallah II of Jordan. The MOU plans to deliver 150 ZOE before the end of 2015.The order from the Royal Hashemite Court makes Renault the number one car manufacturer for the royal EV fleet.

 

This order follows an announcement by the King of Jordan during the Forum that the Jordanian vehicle fleet would be converted to EVs along with the implementation of an ambitious solar panel programme. The historic deal illustrates the strong desire of the Jordanian realm to accelerate its energy independence and run a vehicle fleet more respectful of the environment.

 

The cars will be 100% powered by solar panels installed on royal property.

The introduction of the EV in Jordan has strong support from the government which wants to promote green and sustainable mobility solutions. This order is the first step in their plan and discussions are already underway on additional orders of Renault EVs in the coming months.
