Carlos Ghosn and Dieter Zetsche

Carlos Ghosn, Chairman and CEO of the Renault-Nissan Alliance, and Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars, briefed the media about their companies' expanding partnership at a press event on Oct. 3 during the Paris Motor Show.

Here's a look at a typical global auto show press day for a CEO: Lots of walking and lots of talking, all in front of a lot of cameras. It's how Renault-Nissan Alliance CEO Carlos Ghosn spent the press day at the 2014 Paris Motor Show (4-19 October): showing off our new models, answering journalists' questions, congratulating our best dealers and seeing what the competition is up to ... it all made for a fast-paced day.

Renault’s main attraction at the Paris Motor Show (4-19 October) is the new Espace. Built on Common Module Family (CMF), the Alliance’s modular system of architecture, the new Espace is lighter, more dynamic and more agile than ever before. Meanwhile at the Nissan stand, the new Pulsar hatchback makes its first public appearance in Paris.

Sustainability and innovation are key ingredients at the Renault and Nissan stands of this year's Paris Motor Show (4-19 October). Visitors to the biennial French auto show can see first-hand how both companies are transforming motoring with ecological, user-friendly technology.

Join us on a whistlestop tour of the busy Renault and Nissan stands at Paris Motor Show. Discover why the Alliance is committed to increasing the number of electric vehicles on Europe’s roads and why Quick Charging is the key to future growth.

Meet ZOE, Renault’s latest EV and marvel at TeRRA from Nissan, an advanced 4X4 fuel cell electric vehicle concept.
Also at the show is Nissan Pivo 3, an ultra-compact electric city car of tomorrow.

The message from Paris? Zero Emission electric vehicles will help sustain personal mobility in the future, but they are here, now… and the Alliance is leading the EV charge.

Parisians love ZOE! The latest pure electric vehicle to hit the streets, Renault ZOE has been one of the undoubted highlights of the Paris Motor Show, which runs until 14 October in the French capital.

As the show opened to the public we asked a few visitors what they thought of the car… and the verdict was hugely positive. They like the looks, the light and airy interior and the technology.

But most of all they love the fact that it produces zero tailpipe emissions. As one visitor said: “I’m thinking of buying one, as the environment is a big thing for me.”

The hugely advanced technology of an electric vehicle means high prices according the man in the Paris street. But is that really the case? The answer is “No”.
 
EV experts Thomas Orsini from Renault and Olivier Paturet from Nissan reveal all on our video here. Find out what they cost to buy and what they cost to run… and see whether an EV could actually be cheaper than its conventional cousin.

Charging an electric vehicle takes… well no-one seems quite sure how long it takes judging by the views from the street of Paris. We asked the questions before the Paris Motor Show opened its doors and the answers varied tremendously.
 
But if you watch our video here you can discover the truth from the people in the know: electric vehicle experts from Renault and Nissan, Thomas Orsini and Olivier Paturet. Is it a few minutes, a couple of hours or an overnight charge? Watch our video here.

Perhaps the biggest misconception surrounding electric vehicles is that they can’t go very far… at least, that’s what the people of Paris seem to think.
