On the weekend of the 19th and 20th July, Renault Glasgow Pollokshaws Road and Renault Bishopbriggs will be holding an exclusive Renault ZOE test drive weekend to showcase the great features of the electric ZOE model.
Awards victory for ZOE
The Renault ZOE is a five-door supermini electric car, which has won numerous awards since being released for sale last year. Notably, the ZOE scooped the Best Green Development Award at the 2013 BusinessCar Fleet Technology Awards.
BusinessCar Editor Paul Barker said: “The Renault ZOE is a huge boost to the electric vehicle sector because it’s clearly the most attractive model to enter this fledgling marketplace.
In recognition of its affordable approach to zero emission motoring combined with its stylish looks, the ZOE also bagged the Green Apple Award from The Green Organisation last year.
On top of this, the Renault ZOE was also crowned 'Best Electric Car of the Year' at last year's Scottish Car of the Year awards (SCOTY). President of SCOTY, Alisdair Suttie, commented:
