Renault announces new Twizy Cargo

Renault has unveiled one of the worlds smallest and greenest commercial vehicles with the new Twizy Cargo.

Using the shape and style of the standard Twizy, it swaps the rear tandem seat behind the driver for a large boot with an opening and lockable door. What’s more, as a car-derived van, with fully recoverable VAT, it’s even £650 cheaper than the standard model, at £6,241. Plus, the VAT can also be reclaimed on its battery hire, from £36 per month (excluding VAT).

Designed for business use, the integrated 180-litre load area is capable of accepting loads weighing up to 75 kilos and opens out to 90 degrees.

The vehicle has a top speed of 56mph and is expected to have a range of around 50 miles in real world conditions although the official test cycle suggests 62 miles.
