All-electric Renault Kangoo Maxi Van Z.E. finds 'green' home at Center Parcs

Renault has proudly announced that short-break operator, Center Parcs, have recently taken delivery of 22 new all-electric Renault Kangoo Maxi Van Z.E. models at their Sherwood Forest location. The new electric vehicles will be used across Center Parcs' other UK villages and will form part of a fleet of 150 vehicles and will be used by the technical services and maintenance division and the "Dining-In" takeaway delivery operation which transports food and beverages to guests. Center Parcs operates four Villages in the UK; Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire, Elveden Forest in Suffolk, Longleat Forest in Wiltshire and Whinfell Forest in Cumbria. They opened their first village in the UK back in 1987.

The Carbon Trust Standard was presented to Center Parcs in acknowledgment for their efforts to reduce carbon emissions in 2010. You can understand why Centre Parcs chose these fantastic eco vans to reinforce their green reputation and to uphold their strong sustainability philosophy. They also said that the Kangoo vans beat out the competition based on a range of factors including running costs, reliability, practicality, payload, and purchase price.

Andy Heiron, Head of Electric Vehicle Programme at Renault UK, handed over the keys to the vans at Center Parcs, commenting, "It is wonderful to see the vans in use at such a fantastic location as Center Parcs. As well as being one of the best known names in the leisure and tourism industry, Center Parcs also leads the way in ensuring that their day-to-day operations are environmentally friendly, making the Kangoo Van Z.E. a great choice for their fleet needs".

With a loading space that ranges from 1.3 m3 to 4.6 m3 and a 650 kg load capacity, Renault Kangoo Van Z.E models make a great choice for any individual or trade looking for an eco van that not only saves money on running costs, but plays an important part in saving the planet too.
