Renault’s urban mobility unit Mobilize has just unveiled two mini electric utility vehicles that are being dubbed as quadricycles made from 40% recycled materials.
The uniquely-designed vehicles come in two models – Duo and Bento. The Duo model is a two-seater yet boasts a central driver position that can be driven without a license and is 100% electric.
The Bento version is similar with the same butterfly-style doors and also being entirely emission-free. However, the Bento model is instead described as a “micro van” and does require a driver’s license to be driven. This version is also fitted with a cargo box and no rear seat, remaining ultra-compact.
Gianluca De Ficchy, CEO of Mobilize, said: “Responding to the challenges of mobility in and around cities, Duo and Bento reflect the vision of Mobilize: to bring retail and business customers mobility solutions that are safer, simpler, more eco-friendly and closely aligned with the major issues facing cities today.”
The two models are expected to start rolling out in 2025 and will be available through the Renault network.
