The all-newRenaultTwizy Cargo has been introduced and is the second version of their single seat city run-around electric vehicle. The Cargo loses a seat to feature a sizable boot, which according to the automaker makes it a Light Commercial van designed for business owners.
The standard white Twizy van is aiming to change/shake up the commercial vehicle world with its stylish features and ability to be used for multiple business needs. The model swaps its rear tandem seat behind the driver for a 75 kg boot that is accessible through a door that opens to 90 degrees. While the front seat is still movable, the door features a locking system that also works with the ignition key.
The Renault Twizy Cargo is equipped with a 12kW electric motor that can reach a limited top speed of 90 km/h and has a real world range of 50 km.
With a real world range of around 50 km, once at its destination, the Twizy Cargo can be fully recharged in just three and a half hours by simply using a standard three-pin plug by way of the built-in charging cable.
The Renault Twizy Cargo is likely to be of interest to businesses offering callout or support services, and also provide businesses with the opportunity to showcase its green credentials using a zero-emission vehicle in cities where air quality is a concern.
Ideal as a run-around in all conditions, Renualt Twizy Cargo keeps the easy to get in and out of feature of the passenger version as the driver can get in from either side. It can also be parked easily and in the tightest of spots.
Renault confirmed that there is unfortunately no plan at this stage to launch the Twizy Cargo in South Africa.
