Greentomatocars is electrifying its fleet with two Renault Fluence ZE cars to complement its existing fleet of more than 200 hybrid and bio-fuelled vehicles.

Co-founder and managing director Jonny Goldstone said: “We’re delighted to be taking delivery of the industry’s first two EVs and already know that our clients will be as impressed by their performance and credentials as we are.”

He added: “We know our customers want to make a consciously green decision when choosing a private hire provider. We've already taken bookings for 40% of our EV capacity with orders from corporate customers for our zero emission shuttle services. We fully intend to add more zero emission vehicles to our expanding fleet this year.”

Andy Heiron, head of the EV programme at Renault UK, said: “We are delighted to have teamed up with Greentomatocars who have consistently provided innovative solutions in London’s private hire market.”
