From September, 100 Renault Zoe and 20 Renault Twizy vehicles will be available in the XIth and XIIth districts of Paris, as well as in Clichy, in the Hauts-de-Seine department. The initial stage will provide an opportunity for testing.
Renault will supply the electric vehicles and carry out maintenance and repairs. ADA will contribute through a digital app dedicated to very short-term vehicle rental. It will also reposition and charge the electric vehicles.
ADA’s customer department will manage after-sales service as well as billing on behalf of Renault.
“Mobility issues have never been so important, and cars are still viewed as essential for people living in the Paris region,” said ADA CEO, Christophe Plonevez.
“ADA has developed an app for self-service connected vehicles. As part of our cooperation with Renault, we have been able to quickly develop a very short-term car-sharing solution operating alongside our medium-term service, for rentals from half a day to one month.”
A mobility service is referred to as free-floating when users are able to rent a vehicle without reserving it in advance and without a fixed parking station. When they no longer need the vehicle, they can park it where they want, within a given area.
For his part, Renault France commercial director, Philippe Buros added: “This agreement reflects the progress made by the Group in the field of new mobilities. With the support of ADA, a recognised market player, we are seeking to bring our customers reliable, high-quality services. “
From January 2019, the service will gradually be rolled out more widely.
