The New Zoe brings technology advances, with great autonomy, which made us much interested on that. This will certainly be a very successful partnership”, emphasizes out Carlos Andrade, Vice President of Customers at EDP in Brazil.
WEG and Renault do Brazil are also together in an electric mobility project in Fernando de Noronha, state of Pernambuco, Brazil. In partnership with the Administration of Fernando de Noronha and Polo, the companies inaugurated six garages with solar power generation (Carport) to recharge the lithium-ion batteries of 28 electric vehicles that already circulate in the island.
New Zoe
Zoe was the pioneer in Europe and became the best-selling compact electric car in the European market. At the third generation, the new Zoe nowadays offers new features in terms of versatility, quality and technologies. The car starts to be sold in Brazil in two finish versions: Zen (R$ 204,990) and Intense (R$ 219,990). Technically, the current version offers even more features. The 52 kWh battery makes its autonomy reach up to 385 kilometers, with even more charging options, thanks to the introduction of the direct current (DC) charging system. It also provides even more driving comfort, thanks to a superior performance engine with 100kW of power range and 24.5 kgfm of torque, allowing the driver to enjoy the instant and smooth acceleration, great for highways.

WEG and Renault lead an electric mobility project in Fernando de Noronha
[ad_1]
Located about 540 km away from the northeastern coast of Brazil, Fernando de Noronha is an island visited by thousands of tourists each year. About 70% of the territory belongs to the Marine National Park, which is fully protected and considered a Natural World Heritage by Unesco, and the other 30% is an Environmental Protection Area (APA). These initiatives were created to protect the fauna and flora living conditions and balance human occupation with the environment protection.
To allow harmonization between environmental resources and tourism activities and maintain the sustainability of the natural paradise, continuous innovations are required on the island. That is why WEG, in partnership with the Administration of Fernando de Noronha, Renault do Brasil and Polo Engenharia, supplied equipment for six solar power generation garages (Carport) with 22kW semi-fast charging station of the WEMOB line (WEG Electric Mobility), to charge the lithium-ion batteries of 28 electric cars that already circulate in the island.
Solar garages have the capacity to generate 26MWh per year, enough to cover the electrical consumption of all zero-emission cars that circulate on the island. This energy generated is equivalent to 180 thousand kilometers driving without generating CO2, which will prevent from burning approximately 20,000 liters of fossil fuel. In addition, the surplus energy generated by the solar power garages will be made available to the local population with zero waste.
“Our objective with this initiative is to encourage sustainability actions with the use of renewable energy sources, such as solar power generation, in addition to electric mobility avoiding environmental impacts in Fernando de Noronha”, says Manfred Peter Johann, WEG Automation Business Unit Managing Director. Currently, 11% of the energy consumed in the island comes from Noronha I and II solar power plants, also equipped with WEG solar systems. “With the help of Renault and Polo, we are helping to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions as well as promoting the generation of renewable energy on the island,” Manfred adds.
For Renault the project complies with the Law-Decree issued by the state of Pernambuco government authorities prohibiting circulation of fuel-powered vehicles in the island as from 2022. The same Law-Decree states that all non-electric-powered vehicles will be removed from the Island starting in 2030./p>
“Renault intends to bring modernity to the automobile industry. This project in Fernando de Noronha, which is Brazil´s heritage site, is part of our strategy of being a technology, services and clean-energy company”, says Ricardo Gondo, President of Renault do Brazil.
