Alliance to provide a fleet of 50 electric vehicles to the Conference of Parties COP22 in Marrakech –  Fleet dedicated to COP22 to include Renault ZOE, Nissan LEAF and e-NV200 –  More than 20 accelerated and standard charging stations to be set up in Marrakech.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Renault-Nissan Alliance, world leader in zero-emission mobility,* will provide a fleet of 50 all-electric vehicles as the official passenger-car provider for the United Nation’s COP22 Climate Conference in Marrakech, Morocco. The fully electric fleet will shuttle delegates. <\/p>\n

More than 25,000 participants from 195 countries are expected to attend the annual climate summit Nov. 7 to 18. It marks the second time the United Nations will use a zero-emission shuttle fleet in support of public transport at one of its major conferences.<\/p>\n

The COP22 fleet will feature the Renault ZOE subcompact car, the Nissan LEAF compact car and the seven-seat Nissan e-NV200 van. The vehicles will be available to shuttle delegates 24 hours, seven days a week to key venues at the conference, as a complement to public transportation.<\/p>\n

The Alliance will also provide a network of more than 20 accelerated and standard charging stations at strategic locations. The accelerated charging stations will be able to charge the EVs from 0 to 80 percent in about one hour.<\/p>\n

The Renault-Nissan Alliance is the global leader in zero-emission vehicles. With six models, it has already sold more than 360,000 electric vehicles worldwide. Nissan LEAF, launched in 2010, remains the industry’s best-selling EV. Renault ZOE is the best-performing EV in Europe. The Alliance has sold about half of the electric vehicles on the road globally today including the Renault Twizy two-seat, urban commuter vehicle, and the Nissan e-NV200 van, which has been on sale in Europe and Japan since 2014.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Renault-Nissan’s Tangier, Morocco, plant is designed to move towards “zero CO2<\/sub>” emissions through the use of renewable resources, for thermal energy produced on site, as well as its purchased electricity. The plant began operations in 2012, and its approach remains unique in the automobile industry<\/p>\n

In Morocco, Renault Group is the only major automaker to market a fully electric range of vehicles. Thanks to COP22 and the desire of the Kingdom to develop low-carbon energy, several companies have decided to bet on the 100 percent electric car by buying fleets.<\/p>\n

“The Renault-Nissan Alliance is proud to contribute to COP22 by providing a fleet of 50 100 percent electric vehicles,” said Marc Nassif, managing director of Renault Morocco Group and Alliance COP22 leader. “This technology, coupled with an increasingly decarbonized electric mix, is the solution for individual mobility to address the issue of global warming and enhance air quality in our cities.”<\/p>\n

Isao Sekiguchi, managing director of the North Africa Region and Egypt for Nissan Group, agreed.<\/p>\n

“Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing the world today,” said Sekiguchi. “The Renault-Nissan Alliance was not only quick to recognize the import contribution the automotive industry could make to the collective effort to tackle emissions, but was also quick to act.”<\/p>\n

The Alliance was also an official partner of COP21<\/a>. The fleet of 200 electric vehicles from the Alliance represented the world’s largest EV fleet ever provided for an international conference. This fleet shuttled more than 8,000 delegates, media and negotiators during the two-week United Nations annual climate change conference in Paris last year. In doing so, it traveled at least 175,000 kilometers without emitting any CO2<\/sub> tailpipe emissions and without using any petroleum, which saved nearly 182 barrels of oil and avoided 18 tons of CO2<\/sub> being emitted.<\/p>\n

The Alliance will also participate in Solutions COP22, an international exhibition on climate-change solutions, to be held in the Green Zone in Marrakech. The exhibition, which will take place Nov. 7- 18, will feature CO2<\/sub> solutions from cities, businesses and other organizations around the world. In addition, the Alliance will have electric vehicles available for public test drives.<\/p>\n
