Renault to Launch Megane E85

Published Date: 21st Jul 2007

Renault UK will launch its first bioethanol car into the UK market when the Renault Megane Hatch E85 goes on sale at the end of 2007.

This will be Renault’s first bioethanol vehicle to be sold in the UK and is in line with eCO2, the company’s commitment to producing environmentally-friendly vehicles for the whole life cycle of the vehicle, from design to their eventual recycling. With eCO2, Renault provides customers with a choice of vehicles across its range, both kind to the environment and motorists’ pockets, including the new Megane E85.

Renault considers biofuels to be one of the most effective solutions in the long-term quest for control over CO2 emissions. Biofuels are ecologically effective, as a diversified, renewable, plant-based energy source. E85 bioethanol can achieve CO2 gains of up to 70% over the so-called well-to-wheel cycle compared to the same model powered by a conventional petrol engine. Biofuel compatibility is one of the criteria behind the Renault eCO2 signature.

Prices and full information will be announced when the Renault Megane E85 goes on sale at the end of 2007.
