Renault-Nissan in Swiss EV deal
December 19th, 2008

Renault-Nissan has signed a deal with Swiss electricity provider Energie Ouest Suisse to develop a recharging infrastructure and promote electric vehicle use.
Renault-Nissan intends to supply EOS with electric vehicles for its fleet.
EOS says that transportation accounts for 33% of Switzerland’s greenhouse gas emissions and that replacing 15% of Switzerland’s cars with electric vehicles by 2020 would save 1.1million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year. 85% of the electricity it produces is from hydropower generators.
