Last days news about cars with electric motors appears nearly every day. But this deserves special attention – Renault company declared that next year the batch production of commercial heel Kangoo Express Z.E will begin. Special attention it is necessary to give to a word serial. Next year on the European roads auto trucks which won't throw out at all in air of harmful substances will start to run.

Appearance and the sizes Kangoo Express Z.E differs nothing from standard Kangoo. Under a cowl of this car is a motor capacity of 44 kw (60 h.p.) which are reached at 10 500 rpm. A twisting moment – 226 Nm, the maximum distance on one gymnastics – 160 km, speed is limited at level of 130 km/h.

The full gymnastics of accumulators from the usual electric socket connection occupy 6-8 hours. And if there is a special installation on 400 watt then car refueling will occupy only 30 minutes.

The price of electric heel is called also - the car will cost 20 000 euros. However, in Renault hope for grants from the state – in France at purchase of the non-polluting car the privilege for the sum 5000 euros will be given. 15 000 euros total will turn out. For comparison, usual Kangoo there are in the same France 11 000 euros. But thus don't forget that cost of operation of an electromobile will be much less – full "refueling" of the car costs only 1-2 euros (all depends on electric power cost in this or another country).
