Responding to the daily challenge of moving people and goods in and around cities, Mobilize is reaffirming its commitment to simple, safe and sustainable mobility solutions. Designed for urban use, Duo is an electric quadricycle, successor to the Renault Twizy, and Bento, its utility version. Both vehicles can also provide mobility solutions in regions with limited public transport.
Duo and Bento are aimed at both retail and business customers. Duo is a two-seater vehicle and can be driven with or without a licence, depending on the version and local regulations. Bento is a micro van requiring a driving licence. Instead of a passenger seat, it has a 649-litre cargo box for carrying small items of equipment and other goods.
Duo and Bento are compact (2.43 and 2.54 metres long respectively) and easy to manoeuvre in city traffic. Their small footprint makes them easy to park.
With their central driving position and optimised suspension, Duo and Bento deliver a unique driving experience. They ship as standard with a driver airbag, a first in the quadricycle segment. Both vehicles have a generous range – up to 161 km for Duo and 149 km for Bento – so do not require frequent charging.
Duo and Bento break with the classic cues of automotive design. Their large glazed area and elytra doors give them the look of a futuristic space capsule. Designed to be eco-responsible, Duo and Bento both include over 40% of recycled materials and are 95% recyclable.
Duo and Bento are natively connected. They have their own ‘MyDuo’ mobile app, which can be used to generate up to six digital keys, a first for Renault Group.
Unveiled in their definitive livery at the Paris Motor Show, Duo and Bento will be available through the Renault network. Duo will be available to order from 14 October 2024.
“Responding to the challenges of mobility in and around cities, Duo and Bento reflect the vision of Mobilize: to bring retail and business customers mobility solutions that are safer, simpler, more eco-friendly and closely aligned with the major issues facing cities today,” said Gianluca De Ficchy, CEO of Mobilize.
