Restoring peace to Versailles

Restoring peace to Versailles
The tranquillity and beauty of the gardens of France’s Château de Versailles, just outside Paris, have always been disturbed by traffic noise.
 
Four hundred years ago it was the clip-clop of horses’ hooves and the rumble of wooden wheels from the carriages they pulled. And until recently it was the hum of the internal combustion engine and the buzz of car and van exhausts.

Renault ZOE electrifies the Flins production plant

Renault ZOE electrifies the Flins production plant

Production of ZOE, the flagship of Renault’s electric vehicle range, started at the end of 2012 on the same production lines as New Clio and Clio Collection. The industrial development of ZOE was a tough challenge for Flins, but the plant succeeded in launching the series production of two very different and strategically important vehicles for the company, ZOE and New Clio, at the same site and in the same year. The people at Renault showed outstanding ingenuity to minimize changes to production resources and cope with the specific demands of electric ZOE in the manufacturing process in a totally fluid manner. The production processes of the ZOE and New Clio body shells are so similar that it takes a carefully trained eye to spot the differences between the two.

Twiztour: a new way to see the sights of Paris

Twiztour: a new way to see the sights of Paris

The Renault Twizy is the star of a new concept for tourists in Paris. Twiztour invites visitors to get behind the wheel of a Twizy and see the sights of the French capital following a special tourist-friendly GPS route. Alternatively, they can opt  for a personalised tour by following a guide who is also driving a Twizy!

The all-electric Twizy is ideal for zipping around the narrow cobbled streets of Paris and has the added benefit of being easy to park in the smallest of spaces – something that is not negligible in Paris's busy streets.
