The technology of electric vehicles helps reduce greenhouse gases in the transportation sector efficiently," said
Laurent Fabius, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Development, President of COP21.
"Electric vehicle technology is an efficient solution for a practical and affordable mode of transportation. This solution has a positive impact on the climate and air quality in our cities," said Carlos Ghosn, Chairman and CEO of the RenaultNissan Alliance. "It's time to accelerate the shift to zeroemission mobility by working together with all parties concerned."
The COP21 car fleet will feature the Renault ZOE subcompact car, the Renault Kangoo Z.E. van, the Renault Fluence Z.E. sedan, the Nissan LEAF compact car and the 7seater Nissan eNV200 van. The vehicles will be available to shuttle delegates 24 hours, seven days week to key venues around the conference, as a complement to public transportation.
