It was designed from the wheels Arguably the world’s coolest commercial vehicle was unveiled in 2013 with up as a new concept in urban transport – a compact all-electric vehicle that’s the appearance of the single-seat Twizy Cargo. Swapping the rear seat for a ideal for the cut and thrust of city and suburban driving. Emissions-free in lockable 180-litre, 75kg boot, creates a vehicle perfect for business use. The use, safe, comfortable and easy to drive, it once again shows Renault setting Cargo is classed as a car-derived van by HM Revenue and Customs, so the the agenda in forward-thinking design and engineering. VAT is recoverable, and it is exempt from the Central London Congestion Charge. When wearing a business livery, its distinctive looks make it an In little more than two years the Twizy (a name that captures the idea of ‘two’ effective mobile advertising unit. and ‘easy’) was brought from concept to reality, with key input from Renault Sport Technologies into chassis, driving dynamics and clever regenerative braking technology. 3 Exterior – fun and functional Its curvy structure and wheel-at-each-corner design may look avant-garde, but the Twizy is highly practical. Its overall length is just 2.34m, the width 1.24m, allowing the Twizy to slot neatly into parking spaces too tight for other four-wheeled vehicles. The unbroken curve of the panoramic windscreen into the roof and side wind deflectors create good protection from the elements, as well as excellent visibility, but owners can specify a ‘clear sky roof’ for an even better all-round view. Expression versions of the Twizy are fitted with grey Snowflake wheel trims; 13-inch Diamond gloss alloys feature on the Dynamique model. Renault’s ‘Design Your Own Twizy’ wraps allow customers to choose from a selection of existing designs (including animal prints or weather patterns), or to create a bespoke design for all or part of the vehicle. Doors and windows are both available as options to give further protection from the British climate. The doors open with a scissor action – ideal in narrow parking spots. The windows can be fitted in minutes. The ingenious system comes in two parts – a rigid metal frame which attaches to the door and a flexible, transparent ‘window’, which fastens to the frame by means of a zip. An opening within the window provides access to the door handle and enables the transparent panel to be opened or closed. Two slits in the panel – one at the front and the other at the rear – ensure a sufficient flow of air to prevent the interior from misting up. The windows require just one tool to fit, require no bodywork modification and can easily be removed by the owner if they fancy some fresh air. As part of Renault’s ongoing attention to quality, the system has been extensively tested to ensure its resistance to UV light, corrosion and cold temperatures. 4 SAMPLE SKIN OPTIONS SAMPLE SKIN OPTIONS White Black Yellow Dark Yellow Orange Red Soft Red Burgundy White Black Yellow Dark Yellow Orange Red Soft Red Burgundy Design your own Twizy SAMPLESAMPLESAMPLESAMPLE SKINSKINSKIN OPTIONSOPTIONSOPTIONS SKIN OPTIONS Green Dark Green Light Blue Blue Dark Blue Light Grey Grey Dark Grey Twizy people are not shrinking violets.
