Renault is staying true to their strategy of introducing greener travel. Renault has delivered its first electric car “Twizy” to its city clients in Macau.

Although eco-friendly vehicles are not yet the most common users, the introduction represents an addition of 10 electric-powered engine cars.

The government encouraging the transition, have already implemented two charging stations where owners of electric vehicles can find power-supply.

On average, these eco-friendly vehicles only take nearly 3.5 hours to recharge these batteries, which are also promoted as recyclable.

In order to continue to develop a culture which is more eco-friendly and focused on the protection of the environment, Mr Wilson Mok, the manager of Renault, Macau, believes the government need to further invest in this sector, specifically by offering more recharging stations around Macau peninsula, Taipa and Coloane.

Nonetheless, Mr Wilson Mok is on a mission to spark interest is not only centered on the government but to spark the same interest for electric cars to the world advocating the benefits and advantages of acquiring electric cars to the hospitality industry.

“Twizy” has a fuel economy of 100km/h and a maximum speed of 80km/h and is advertised as having zero emissions, built from fiber materials that are waterproofed.

Wilson Mok believes this is actually a perfect city to further spark interest in electric cars.

For now, the company’s strategy will focus mainly on the hospitality industry, hoping to garner more clients in this sector.

The company has introduced other types of electric-powered engine cars to Macau from its range since last March. According to Renault, more than ten eco-cars are currently being used in Macau.
