A TWO-seat electric quadricycle has been developed by Renault company Mobilize in response to the challenges of moving people and goods in and around cities.

A central driving position and compact dimensions make the two vehicles easy to manoeuvre in city traffic and simple to park.

They feature a driver's airbag - a first in the quadricycle segment - and an all-electric range of up to 100 miles for the Duo and 87 miles for the utility-oriented Bento.

Both are designed to be eco-responsible, with a simplified production process that includes over 40 per cent of recycled materials. At the end of their life, they are at least 95 per cent recyclable.

Natively connected, they have their own MyDuo app, which can generate up to six digital keys - a first for the Renault Group - and allow users to be given permission to open the vehicle remotely, making initiatives such as car-sharing much simpler.

The Duo and Bento will be available through selected outlets in the Renault network.

Estimated timings for the UK launch are orders opening in early spring and sales beginning before the summer of 2025.

Pricing will be confirmed at that point, but is expected to be from around £9,300 rising to £9,999.
