雷諾Fluence Z.E.全新電動車香港隆重登場

維信汽車(香港)有限公司作為其中一間首次在亞洲銷售雷諾電動車的公司，於二零一二年三月十六日 在香港科學園舉行雷諾Fluence Z.E.電動車的揭幕儀式，出席嘉賓包括：法國交通部長Thierry Mariani先生、香港特別行政區政府環境局局長邱騰華先生, GBS, JP、法國駐香港及澳門總領事栢雅諾先生及施耐德電氣 (Schneider Electric) 管理局主席兼首席執行官Jean-Pascal Tricoire先生。

雷諾 Fluence是一款全電動，零排放 (Z.E. = Zero emission) 的車輛，這是經過多年大規模及精心的研發得出的成果。身為眾多電動車中最佳的型號，雷諾 Fluence Z.E. 正正符合了既環保又經濟的條件。雷諾 Fluence是一部寬敞舒適的商務級房車，可以縱容容納五個人。雷諾Fluence的特徵尤其明顯，優雅的藍色線條，藍色的細節及頭燈底座，車尾Z.E. 字樣及佈滿雷諾廠徽的尾燈組，都令人從第一眼便能認出此電動車車型。雷諾 Fluence Z.E. 的無段變速波箱提供即時加速的暢快感，為駕駛樂趣定下一個新的定義。

雷諾在二零零九年的法蘭克福車展中為四款電動車揭開了神秘面紗，並承諾由二零一二年開始為駕駛者提供更多電動車。自那時開始，雷諾便在這獨一無二的項目上公開它每一個里程碑，同時亦得到多地政府的支持，一同簽訂了合作協議及測試了電池的安全性。

利用汽油作為能源會構成二氧化碳的排放，但雷諾電動車的特別之處在於它不會排放任何二氧化碳。電動車是現時最符合環保條件的方案。另外，Fluence Z.E. 的面世亦表示了廢氣的消失，自此沒有任何臭氣及煙霧的產生。它同時亦代表了潔淨及寧靜，在未來將徹底地改變人們的生活質素。

雷諾 Fluence Z.E. 是首部容易負擔，全電動的四門房車，令雷諾系列變得更為完整，在使用期間不會在路上造成任何廢氣排放。舒適的內裝設備及大量科技應用，此車型是雷諾Z.E. 系列中首部在市場面世的電動車型號。

維信汽車的品牌經理鄧以行表示，公司非常感謝香港特區政府決定廣泛地提倡電動車的使用。由二零一二年的第三季開始，政府引入三十部雷諾 Fluence電動車，跟以往所引入的其他電動車型號比較，數量大為上升。此外，政府亦有多種措施配合，例如首個車輛登記稅項豁免及充電設備的增加，這些措施大大鼓勵了電動車在香港的使用。

施耐德電氣管理局主席兼首席執行官Jean-Pascal Tricoire先生表示：「我們非常高興能成為雷諾 Fluence Z.E. 推出的合作夥伴及提供充電設施。透過是次合作，施耐德電氣進一步肯定了其目標：為未來的電動車使用者提供簡單、符合能源效益及容易找到的充電方案。」

A new Renault Fluence zero emission electric vehicle to be unveiled in Hong Kong

Wearnes Motors (HK) Ltd., one of the first companies to commercialize Renault Electric Vehicles in Asia, is hosting a ceremony of Renault Fluence Z.E. (Z.E. = zero emission) at Hong Kong Science Park on 16th March (Friday) 2012, with the attendance of the Minister for Transport of France – Mr. Thierry Mariani; Secretary for the Environment of the HKSAR Government, Mr. Edward Yau, GBS, JP; Consul General of France in Hong Kong, Mr. Arnaud Barthélémy; as well as Schneider Electric President and CEO, Mr. Jean-Pascal Tricoire.

Renault Fluence is a 100% electric, zero emission (or Z.E.) vehicle. It is a result of many years’ extensive and committed research and development. Being the flagship of EV (electric vehicle), Renault Fluence Z.E. holds a position which is centred squarely on the availability of a range of more ecologically-aware and readily affordable products and services. Renault Fluence Z.E. is a spacious and business class sedan. It seats five people comfortably. Thanks to its elegant lines, distinctive details, a number of blue-tinted details, from the lights and fog light surrounds, to the front and rear Renault logos and the Fluence badge, Renault Fluence Z.E. is instantly recognizable. With no gear shifts and instant acceleration, it redefines driving pleasure.

Renault unveiled four electric concept cars at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show with a promise to make them widely available to motorists starting in 2012. Since then, Renault has publicised each milestone in this ambitious and unique project, securing the backing of governments, signing partnership agreements and testing battery safety.

Renault engines stand out as examples as far as their CO2 emissions are concerned, using oil as a source of energy will always result in the emission of CO2. Electric vehicles are consequently the only real clean-break solution, since they do not emit any CO2 during their use on the road. Besides, Fluence Z.E. also signals the disappearance of exhaust fumes, with no unpleasant smells and no more smoke. It represents clean and quiet, and will radically change the quality of life in built-up areas.

Renault Fluence Z.E. is the first affordable, all-electric, full-sized saloon, and completes Renault's offer in this segment with a version that doesn’t produce any emissions during its use on the road. It features elegant lines, a comfortable interior and a raft of useful technologies. This model is the first of the Renault Z.E. range to reach the market.

Wearnes Motors (HK) Brand manager, Evan TANG said, our gratitude goes to the HKSAR Government, which is committed to promoting the wider adoption of EVs. Starting from the 3rd quarter of 2012, the Government will further increase its EV fleet with the addition of 30 Renault Fluence ZEs. Various incentives introduced by the Government, such as total exemption from vehicular First Registration Tax and the expansion of charging facilities, have certainly helped encourage the use of EVs in Hong Kong.”

Jean-Pascal Tricoire, President and CEO, said "We are extremely pleased to be partners of the launch of Renault Fluence Z.E. and to provide the electrical charging infrastructure. Through this partnership, Schneider Electric reaffirms its ambition to offer simple, energy efficient and accessible charging solutions for future electric vehicle users."
