Renault unveils new ECO2 version of Renault Kangoo

French car makers Renault is updating its green body for greener pastures. It has released an ECO2 version of the Renault Kangoo. The Renault Kangoo Rapid ECO2 is a panel van able to carry an euro-sized pallet a distance of 100 kilometers while burning less than 5 liters of diesel. The model, the larger sibling of the Kangoo Express Compact (the model that the all-electric Z.E. is based on), received the standard green label treatment that many other models go through in Europe for its low-rolling resistance tires, aerodynamic improvements and low-friction engine oil.

The van can carry about a half-ton payload at a fuel economy rate of 4.9 l/100 km (48 mpg U.S.). Renault designed this model to get as many tax reductions in Europe as possible and also helps save between 400 and 1,000 Euros ($1,439.26) per year in fuel.
