Renault presents entire EV ecosystem in Paris
Renault not only presented the R4 E-Tech for the first time at the Paris Motor Show, but also four transport concepts tailored to the new electric car. The transport concepts were developed together with several French startups and are actually available for purchase.
The electric vehicle lineup includes a caravan, a small electric aeroplane, an electric jet ski and an electric motorcycle. All four can be pre-ordered at the trade fair and are to be produced in small series. According to Renault, they will be available from next spring, just like the R4 E-Tech.
“For the reveal of Renault 4 E-Tech electric, we are proud to be partnering four French start-ups presenting four all-electric means of mobility. It’s a stylish way to show the general public how e-mobility has developed to encompass all forms of transport, including the 4L, which is now Renault 4 E-Tech electric,” said Arnaud Belloni, Global Chief Marketing Officer, Renault Brand.
The electric aircraft was developed together with the Toulouse-based startup Aura Aero and features two seats, a wingspan of 8.78 metres and a flight time of an hour. Charging is stated to be possible in under thirty minutes.
Carapate Adventure helped develop the caravan trailer in a retro-design, which contains “bed that doubles as a sofa and an indoor-outdoor kitchen,” and have a weight of 560 kg.
Ateliers HeritageBike is the startup responsible for designing the electric motorbike, of which it writes: “Inspired by 1980s design, the Heritage Spirit Scrambler is available with a 7 kW motor (280 Nm of torque) and a battery of up to 4.6 kWh for a standard range of 110 km.”
Finally, the electric jet ski is highly reminiscent of a moped, but is technically designed as a water e-bike by Searider. The ‘Seacruiser’ can go as fast as 55 kph on water and runs on two 22 kW electric motors. It has a runtime of 90 minutes, and is described as “a great choice for both sports enthusiasts and novices.”
