MULBERRY SCHOOLPUPILS CHECK OUT RENAULT LONDON EAST FOR ECO PROJECT

                                                                 

NEWS FROM RENAULT

For Immediate Publication: Wednesday, 20^th July 2011

A visit to a nearby car dealership helped 20 schoolpupils from Mulberry School to get to grips with a project called “Car of the Future”.

The visit to Renault London East this week helped the pupils, aged between 12 and 15, to understand more about the car industry and how manufacturers have adapted their cars to ensure they’re as environmental as possible.

The pupils were invited to design a car for the future, so also heard from Renault London East staff on the features that customers like to have, car designs and transport needs.

Mike Davis, science teacher at Mulberry School, said: “We’re aiming to raise the pupils’ awareness of the need to move away from fossil fuels, to develop their creativity and also to learn about sustainable resources in car design, so it was very useful to be able to look at how a car dealership works and put the methods into practice.”

Jason Sayers, general manager at Renault London East, said: “We thoroughly enjoyed the girls’ visit. They spent the morning looking around the dealership, finding more about the whole car manufacturing process from design, production to sales and marketing.

“As their project was to design a car for the future, it was useful for the girls to hear more about fuel emissions and how Renault has strict criteria for its cars called eco² to ensure they are economical and ecological.

“Additionally, Renault is set to launch the electric version of its popular Kangoo Van later this year, and with three more vehicles on the way next year, is the only manufacturer to provide a full range of electric vehicles.”

MITCHELLS RENAULT OFFERS DRIVING DAY AT BRESSINGHAM STEAM GARDENS

NEWS FROM MITCHELLS RENAULT

For immediate release: Tuesday, 19^th July 2011

East Anglia’s most popular transport attraction Bressingham Steam and Gardens welcomed Mitchells Renault into its grounds this weekend to allow customers to test drive the latest Renault models, as well as getting up close to a real Renault Formula 1 car – all against the most fitting of backdrops.

Famed for its prized collection of steam engines, as well as its beautiful gardens and its connection to perennially-popular TV sitcom Dad’s Army, Bressingham was the perfect location for the ‘Ride and Drive’ event, as it is on the doorstep for Mitchells which has popular dealerships in both Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft.

Despite the unpredictable weather forecast, families came from across Norfolk and Suffolk to enjoy free entry into the attraction and to try out Renault cars and vans from Mitchells.

Garry and Jo Hollett from Norwich, along with their daughters Lola, aged three and Lilly, aged seven, enjoyed their day out by trying the Wind Roadster.

Garry said: “I’d never been to Bressingham as a kid myself so it was great to finally see it and take the girls - it’s such a lovely setting. Seeing an F1 car with a steam train going past in the background is a real eye-opener. The whole family had a whale of a time and the day was really well organised.”

Seven-year-old Josh Peck and his mum Toni travelled from Lowestoft to try out the Mégane Coupé Cabriolet and even managed to find a break in the weather to get the roof down. Toni said: “I came down with the whole family and we made a full day of it at Bressingham. We looked at all the cars and particularly liked the Mégane Cabriolet. The Mitchells staff were great and really attentive - we all had a lovely, really nice day.”

Matthew Huke-Jenner of Mitchells said: “Bressingham is a real celebration of the best of transport from the past and it’s a real honour to be able to take our cars there for a weekend every year. It’s also great to be able to give something back to our loyal customers by letting them enjoy a summer’s day out for the whole family.”
