The Renault-Nissan Alliance is the global leader in zero-emission vehicles and the only automaker with a full range of 100 per cent electric vehicles. The Alliance has sold more than 238,000 EVs globally since December 2010, when the Alliance's first electric vehicle - the Nissan LEAF - went on sale.

The Alliance sells about one out of two electric vehicles worldwide, including Twizy, Renault's two-seater urban commuter vehicle, and the Nissan e-NV200 van, which has been on sale in Europe and Japan since 2014.

The Renault Nissan Alliance will also participate in Solutions COP21, an international exhibition on climate-change solutions, at the Grand Palais in Paris. The exhibition, which will take place Dec. 4-10, will feature CO2 solutions from cities, businesses and other organisations around the world. In addition to an EV display, the Alliance will have more than 10 EVs available for the public to test drive.

The Renault-Nissan Alliance is a strategic partnership between Paris-based Renault and Yokohama, Japan-based Nissan, which together sell one in 10 cars worldwide.
