City Roaming is born, a project promoted by the Naples Intelligent City Association, which uses a fleet of 8 Renault ZOEs and 3 Renault Kangoo Z.E. to promote an innovative and zero-emission mobility solution
At the launch in Naples Ci.Ro., acronym for City Roaming, an experimental car and van sharing project that uses 100% electric vehicles Renault ZOE and Kangoo Z.E. to experiment with a new system of city traffic optimization, combining car sharing with additional services for the citizen. The 4 Ci.Ro. points, multimedia kiosks located along the perimeter of the ZTL areas, operational since September, will allow, in fact, not only the registration to the sharing service and access to the use of Renault electric vehicles, but also the possibility of carrying out practices 0 km, and more specifically to request and obtain permits and authorizations which are currently the responsibility of Napolipark Srl. Part of the energy of the system is self-produced with renewable sources in order to further contribute to the environment.
Furthermore, the specially developed infomobility software is innovative, which combines the classic navigation functions with systems for optimizing travel times and information on the territory (tourist and cultural places, shopping, restaurants, …) based on the chosen destination by the user.
Ci.Ro., conceived by the Napoli Città Intelligente non-profit organization, sees Renault, the European leader in electric mobility, collaborate in an innovative and ecological mobility service.
Ci.Ro. relies on a total fleet of 11 100% electric Renault vehicles, structured for the study of the functional and dimensional optimization of services suitable for meeting the mobility needs of both citizens and tourists.

8 Renault ZOE will perform car sharing functions. A 100% electric compact sedan equipped with a 65 kW electric motor, Zoe is a concentrate of the most advanced technologies: the Range OptimiZEr system for optimizing energy consumption, the highest average range value among the even large series electric models. at 210 km (in NEDC cycle), the Chameleon on-board connector to recharge with any power level even at 43 kW in just 30 minutes, the R-Link multimedia tablet to always be connected to the outside world.
The van sharing service will be entrusted to 3 Renault Kangoo Z.E. Electric van equipped with a 44 kW engine and with an average range of 170 km, Kangoo Z.E. it is ideal for the transport of goods in urban areas and therefore for deliveries or proximity interventions, thanks to a load capacity of 650 kg.
The vehicle can be booked from September on the appropriate website www.cityroaming.org or via the smartphone app, and does not require a subscription, which is very important to allow tourists to use the system as well. After booking, the Renault vehicle can be picked up at one of the Ci.Ro. Points and redelivered in any of the points, even different from the starting point.
To the environmental benefits of the Ci.Ro. (reduction of traffic, polluting and noise emissions …) there are numerous advantages that are added for the user with the adoption of sharing vehicles as an alternative to their own vehicle for their private or professional needs: free access to the ZTL , transit in the preferential lanes, free parking in the car parks managed by Napolipark. Advantages related to the use of 100% electric vehicles, to which is added the opportunity to request authorizations associated with mobility, without having to physically go to the offices with a consequent reduction in transfer times.
Francesco Fontana Giusti, Communication Director of Renault Italy, declared: “Ci.Ro. City Roaming is another opportunity to demonstrate the innovation and versatility of electric vehicles, the ideal technology for alternative mobility solutions. Car sharing and van sharing are increasingly appropriate formulas in cities committed to designing a new, more sustainable and eco-compatible face of their roads and roads. The technological avant-garde of Renault ZOE and the functionality of Kangoo Z.E. found in Ci.Ro. a useful field of application for the progressive affirmation of zero-emission electric mobility, where innovative technology is combined with full respect for the environment “.
The president of Napoli Città Intelligente, Alessandra Mennella, commented: “our project, funded by MIUR as part of the interventions for Social Innovation which sees young people under 30 as beneficiaries, is requiring a considerable effort to integrate complex technologies. The goal is to configure integrated services for the reduction of urban traffic that are easy to use, economical and suitable not only to contribute to the protection of the environment, but also to the local economy. Fundamental were the contribution of companies such as Renault and Vodafone and the financial support given to us by Banca Etica without forgetting the constant collaboration with the Municipal Administration of Naples “.
