Renault ties up with Chinese automaker to build electric car
The new car will be based on the existing Renault Fluence ZE sedan. – AFP Relaxnews pic, September 29, 2015.French automotive firm Renault is to start building a mid-sized all-electric sedan for the Chinese market in partnership with Dongfeng.
Based on the Fluence Z.E., the new car – a joint venture between Renault's R&D arm and domestic automotive firm Dongfeng – will start rolling off the production line in 2017.
A prototype has already been built and the new car will be aimed directly at the emerging green Chinese consumer base.
It will be branded as a Dongfeng rather than a Renault model, but is the first of a number of all-electric cars that Renault has planned for the country. – AFP Relaxnews, September 29, 2015.
