Renault is charging towards an electric future! The latest teaser image from the French car maker previews four zero emissions concept cars that will be showcased at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show.
Ranging in size from a small, two seater city car to a full size family saloon, these concepts represent Renault's first step into the fully electric car market. Although details are scarce the teaser image reveals an array of photovoltaic cells on the roof of three of the vehicles which will gather enegy to charge the battery.
In an attempt to boost range the concepts will feature a lightweight construction and a low drag design. Speculation drawn from the teaser reveals that on some models the traditional high-drag wing-mirrors will be replaced with small video cameras.
More details and official pictures will be announced as the Frankfurt Motor Show gets under way but don't expect to see these cars entering production until about 2011. For more details click here.
