One of our Renault Fluence Z.E.s escaped from our official fleet to meet some locals near the beach.

Paulo Eduardo, a hang-gliding instructor, got a chance to test drive the car and told us how riding a Renault Fluence Z.E. is very much like gliding through the air!

Someone is getting a lot of attention at our booth at Rio+20. It’s the Renault Twizy which went on sale in March.

Haven’t heard of Twizy? Meet Didier Deffrasnes, our Renault EV expert, who explains all about this fun, two-seater electric vehicle.

Our Renault Fluence Z.E. and Nissan LEAF have been working hard shuttling UN delegates around all day. So we decided to give them some time off and take them to the beach.
They had a lot of fun but got held up in Ipanema... and not by the traffic.

Meet Krystal Laymon – here at Rio+20 from Columbia University in New York City - and find out how much she enjoyed her first ride in a zero-emission car, a Nissan LEAF.
 

The Alliance is running an EV shuttle for the United Nations at Rio+20. Kathleen Abdalla, Chief of the organization and logistics of Rio+20 at the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, comments after the shuttle handover ceremony and tells us how electric mobility is an important contributor to advancing the goals of sustainable development.

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

A pair of Nissan LEAF zero-emission electric taxis has hit the streets of Brazil’s biggest city.

Faced with a new kind of car never tested before, one man's unenviable mission was to solve all the electric vehicle's safety conundrums.

There is a man who has the heads-up on all the dangers you might face in a Nissan car. His research field is inexhaustible: Everything and anything that can happen to a vehicle. Whatever minute occurrence life throws at a car, it's his job to test it out.

At the 2012 Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) World Congress in April, about 12,000 engineers from around the globe were in Detroit, Michigan to talk about where the auto industry is going.  In two words…getting connected.

“When we chose ‘get connected’ for this year’s theme, it was not meant in just the obvious way of connecting electric vehicles to the grid.

Which is Europe’s most eco-conscious city? Nissan aims to find out with the launch of a far-reaching campaign designed to ‘turn on’ one million people to the benefits of electric vehicles (EVs) in just 100 days.

The Big Turn On will use digital and social media to switch Europe on to a zero-emission future. Advocates in the UK, the Netherlands, France and Germany will be encouraged to pledge their support for EVs by clicking the ‘turn on’ button on the campaign’s website – www.thebigturnon.com.
