Renault's Twizy Cargo edition

The new Twizy Cargo is the result of collaborative effort of sacrification of passenger seat and cutting-out of rear end from the battery electric roofed quad bike. It's a light commercial vehicle version of the smallest EV currently on the market. It is a teeny battery-electric vehicle (BEV).

By adding a boot behind the driver and doing away with the rear seats, Renault have turned the Twizy into a shopping cart which offers you 180 liters of boot space. The cargo area is exactly 550 x 500 x 950-mm (22 x 20 x 37-in) , completely watertight and capable of handling loads of up to 75 kg (165 lb). It's great for carrying the groceries or maybe a stack of medium-to-large pizzas. The trunk also benefits from a lockable door that opens to 90 degrees.

Its relatively low purchase price make it an excellent first car for urban commutes, or a fairly cheap entrée to the world of electric vehicles. Yet Renault reports that 60 percent of Twizy buyers have been from the business world, and has therefore developed a new version especially for them.
