At this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show, Renault also unveiled its Zoe ZE Concept.
Renault Zoe Z.E. Concept is just 4.10m long and is powered by a 70kW electric motor which develops 226Nm of torque. With this motor, the Renualt Zoe ZE can reach a top speed of 87 MPH. It is easy to imagine the vehicle making its way silently through traffic in built-up areas. The large 21-inch wheels and large body panels are reassuring touches that give the four occupants complete peace of mind when travelling out of town.
The Zoe Z.E. concept’s dashboard is covered with an intelligent, mineral like membrane and the lightest of touches calls up a range of touchscreen controls while the wide TFT (Thin Film Transistor) screen is housed in a glass bubble. This is the central information point for Zoe ZE Concept and serves to display navigation data, the charge indicator and remaining range.
At the rear, a retractable spoiler deploys at speeds in excess of 90kph to make a further contribution to Renault Zoe Z.E. Concept’s aerodynamic efficiency. This LED-equipped spoiler also serves as a brake light, as does the integrated light in the shark’s fin-type aerial on the roof.
