Hertz to offer Renault's range of electric vehicles

Hertz has signed a Letter of Intent to add Renault’s new range of electric vehicles to its fleet of vehicles across Europe.

Hertz will be one of the first rental operators to offer Renault’s Twizy for hire, and will also rent the ZOE, Fluence Z.E. and Kangoo Z.E. models.

It plans to add 500 units of the Renault range to its fleet over the next two years.

Mark Frissora, chairman and CEO of Hertz Corporation, said: “Hertz is committed to global implementation of our electric vehicle initiative and our planned partnership with Renault will be a vital component of our European roll-out.

“Renault has developed a full range of electric vehicles demonstrating that design, style and flexibility are compatible with zero-emissions. We look forward to providing our Hertz customers and Connect by Hertz members with the opportunity to drive these vehicles from the beginning of 2012.”
