The Forum was
electrified this weekend when local Renault dealers hosted a driving event with
a difference.
The event was
organised as part of Renault’s Z.E. Test Drive Tour 2012 and allowed local
motorists and customers of Holden Renault to drive the head-turning
electric two-seat Twizy urban compact . The
Kangoo Van Z.E. and Fluence Z.E. saloon were also available to
test drive, while the forthcoming ZOE supermini was on
display
People were
invited to put the Twizy through its paces on a Twizy agility course after
being welcomed inside Renault’s geodesic dome. The dome was a welcome point and
allowed visitors to find out more about battery range, charging times, pricing
and Plugged-In Places infrastructure.
Kerry Grady
from Holden Renault was on hand to answer questions about living with an
electric vehicle. She said: “Over the weekend, more than 150 test drives were
taken. The Forum was a fantastic backdrop
to our test drives and allowed customers to put the electric range to the test
in relaxed surroundings.
“The whole
event was very positive and we had massive interest in all of the range over
the weekend. As well as invited customers, there were many people who were
walking past and were intrigued by what they saw. Everyone had a smile on their
face after the test drive and we were able to answer questions on running
costs, the environmental benefits and Renault’s unique battery leasing.”
