Renault has won the first lot in a call
for bids initiated 18 months ago by the public authorities, which called
on La Poste chairman Jean-Paul Bailly to form a group of orders from
large companies interested in acquiring electric vehicles. The
invitation to tender was entrusted to the public procurement
organisation UGAP.
The first phase of the selection process was referred to as “competitive
dialog”. Every month, the manufacturers taking part in the call for bids
met with purchasing representatives from the order group to answer their
questions, present their range and feedback their needs. This phase was
used to build a panorama of the offering and draw up the technical
specifications meeting the needs of the members of the order group. |

Kangoo Van Z.E., the first affordable 100% electric van
The Kangoo Van Z.E. range, priced from
£16,990 excluding VAT, will be available to order in the UK from next
month.
Kangoo Van Z.E. is produced at the
Maubeuge plant in France along with its internal-combustion sister. The
plant has been specialised in the production of light commercial
vehicles for 20 years and is able to continuously adapt to the diversity
inherent to this type of vehicle (short and long versions, panel
version, etc.) and to sales demand. The choice of Maubeuge enables rapid
industrialisation whilst ensuring extremely high quality.
Commenting Jerome Stoll, Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing &
Light Commercial Vehicles said: “This success by Renault confirms the
relevance of our electric vehicle offering – products and services alike
– with business customers. The 19 large companies acquiring Kangoo Van
Z.E. were attracted to its intrinsic qualities and by our original
business model, based in particular on battery rental. I would like to
thank sincerely the customers in the call for bids that placed their
trust in us and the Renault employees that made this possible.”
