“The interaction between our network and Renault’s technology will genuinely pave the way for a major advance in mobility solutions. With the addition to its fleet of the Renault Fluence Z.E. and Kangoo Z.E. models from 2011 and then Zoë Z.E. in 2012, Europcar is giving substance even more tangibly to the commitments set forth in its Charter for the Environment”
