In production since 2014, the third generation
Renault Twingo has been developed to accommodate both internal combustion
engines and an electric motor.
And it seems that the French brand is looking into
expanding the city car family with a zero-emission option, but
it won't be ready soon.
This isn’t Renault's first attempt at tackling the
market with a zero-emission version of the Twingo, as the Twin'Z Concept, which
debuted some 4 years ago and served as a preview for the current generation,
featured a rear-mounted electric engine that fed 68 PS to the wheels. The
juice came from four lithium-ion battery packs, mounted under the floor.
