Eiffage Energía Sistemas, a company specialising in electrical infrastructure, installations, maintenance, renewable energy, civil engineering and construction, has added 700 Renault vehicles to its fleet in an operation carried out jointly with the leasing operator Northgate Renting Flexible, a leader in the field of professional mobility.

The delivery of the first units took place at the offices of Eiffage Energía Sistemas, located in Albacete, in an event attended by Eduardo González de la Rocha, commercial and marketing director of Northgate, José Manuel Martínez, CEO and delegate of Eiffage in Spain, and Sébastien Guigues, general manager of Renault and Alpine in Spain.

Commitment to sustainability

The three entities share a commitment to reducing their carbon footprint and moving towards more sustainable mobility. For this reason, this fleet of 700 vehicles is made up of hybrid vehicles that significantly reduce emissions in the urban and interurban areas where they will operate. In addition, by having an Eco environmental badge, they allow access and free movement in low-emission zones.

The vehicles chosen are the Renault Captur, Austral, Symbioz and Rafale, all manufactured in Spain and with E-Tech full hybrid engines that respond to the diverse needs of Eiffage Energía Sistemas.

In addition, it is also complemented by 60 units of the New Dacia Duster TCe 130 4×4, a model characterised by its versatility.

E-Tech full hybrid technology: technological and commercial leadership

Renault’s early commitment to developing a complete range of electric vehicles in 2011 has provided an unbeatable knowledge base for designing its E-Tech full hybrid technology. The knowledge acquired in terms of efficiency and energy management has led the brand to combine 1 combustion engine, 2 electric motors, 1 traction battery and 1 intelligent multi-mode gearbox. Thanks to this, the E-Tech full hybrid range is a benchmark in terms of emissions – 20 g CO 2  lower than its competitors – and low consumption – 1 l/100 km lower -. In addition, this technology allows up to 80% of driving to be done in electric mode in urban environments, resulting in highly enjoyable and efficient driving.

Thanks to this, Renault has positioned itself as the second brand that sells the most hybrids in Spain.
