Renault-Nissan Announces EV Partnership with Barcelona

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

The Renault–Nissan Alliance and the city of Barcelona today signed a Memorandum of Understanding to promote the development of zero emission mobility in the Catalan capital.

The two organizations will work together to identify areas of co-operations in promoting the use of zero emission vehicles in the city.

Earlier this year,
Barcelona made public its plans to implement a sustainable mobility program by creating the necessary conditions to make electric vehicles an alternative to traditional means of transportation. The scheme includes tax breaks for EV buyers, as well as dedicated EV-only zones and parking spaces. The plan also calls for the establishment of 191 charging points across the city by 2011.

At the recent Frankfurt Motor Show, Renault revealed four innovative electric vehicles that will enter the market between 2011 and 2013. In August, Nissan revealed the LEAF, a medium-size hatchback that will be launched in late 2010 in
Japan, the United States and Europe.

The
Alliance has formed partnerships with more than 30 governments, cities and other organizations around the world, including in Japan, the U.S., Europe and across Asia, to advance the deployment of zero-emission mobility worldwide.
