In France, it will still be a little while before you see this large sedan manufactured in China.
Mobilize, the new subsidiary of the Renault group dedicated to new mobility solutions, is launching its “all-inclusive” service package in Madrid. Thus, the first Limos will be operating in the Spanish capital. Afterwards, Mobilize will expand to other countries. The arrival in France is scheduled for this fall.
The Renault group created Mobilize in partnership with the Chinese Jiangling Motors Group. With this new brand, it is making an incursion into the private transportation sector, which could grow by 80% in Europe by 2030.
40 Mobilize Limos on the streets of Madrid
The first agreement in Madrid was signed with Cabify, a taxi and ride-hailing company. This company will add 40 Limo units to its fleet, which, according to its calculations, will reduce its annual CO2 emissions by 320 tons. Cabify will also benefit from the services included in the Mobilize subscription. Maintenance, charging, and insurance are provided by the Renault group subsidiary, which hopes to “alleviate uncertainties related to the impact of vehicle acquisition and usage costs.”
Measuring 4.67 meters in length, the Limo is a sedan specifically designed for taxi services. Its 2.75-meter wheelbase provides ample space for rear passengers. The seats are covered with easy-to-clean TEP upholstery. The trunk can hold up to 411 liters of luggage.
450 km of range
Equipped with a 60 kWh battery, the Limo has a range of 450 km in WLTP cycle. With its 150 hp electric motor, it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 140 km/h.
“With Mobilize Driver Solutions, we want to offer a one-stop shop of solutions to make life easier for professional transport providers,” explained Fedra Ribeiro, Mobilize’s operations director. “The upcoming launch of our service in Madrid, then in Paris, allows us to support them with innovative and integrated solutions for greener mobility.
