    More than 25,000 participants from 195 countries are expected to attend the

annual climate summit Nov. 7-18. It marks the second time the United Nations

will use a zero-emission shuttle fleet in support of public transport at one of

its major conferences.

    The COP22 fleet will feature the Renault ZOE subcompact car, the Nissan

LEAF compact car and the seven-seat Nissan e-NV200 van. The vehicles will be

available to shuttle delegates 24 hours, seven days a week to key venues at the

conference, as a complement to public transportation.

    The Alliance will also provide a network of more than 20 accelerated and

standard charging stations at strategic locations. The accelerated charging

stations will be able to charge the EVs from 0 to 80 percent in about one hour.

    The Renault-Nissan Alliance is the global leader in zero-emission vehicles.

With six models, it has already sold more than 360,000 electric vehicles

worldwide. Nissan LEAF, launched in 2010, remains the industry's best-selling

EV. Renault ZOE is the best-performing EV in Europe. The Alliance has sold

about half of the electric vehicles on the road globally today including the

Renault Twizy two-seat, urban commuter vehicle, and the Nissan e-NV200 van,

which has been on sale in Europe and Japan since 2014.

    In addition, the Renault-Nissan's Tangier, Morocco, plant is designed to

move towards "zero CO2" emissions through the use of renewable resources, for

thermal energy produced on site, as well as its purchased electricity. The

plant began operations in 2012, and its approach remains unique in the

automobile industry
