Renault, an electric carmaker in Europe, is launching the region's first iAd for the 'Twizy', its electric tandem-style city car.

The iAd will begin running on Thursday, December 2.

--
Renault Twizy, an all-new 100% electric tandem vehicle with four wheels and a steering wheel, is the focus of the first iAd campaign to be launched in Europe. A revolutionary concept targeting young "early adopter" urbanites, Twizy will be launched one year from now.

By launching Twizy's mobile marketing with iAd, Renault is acknowledging Apple users as being at the forefront of mobility. Without having to exit the app they're using, iPhone and iPod touch users can explore -- and explode -- the urban myths about electric vehicles. The iAd has many engaging features including calculating how much a Twizy can charge up while doing activities from getting a haircut to working out, shaking your iPhone or iPod touch to check out various Twizy designs, even pre-reserving a vehicle of your own.

By being the first iAd campaign launch in Europe, Renault is furthering its mobile strategy to develop marketing, communication and service solutions with leading names in their industries.

Mmm, Renault is a little bit more than just 'an electric car maker in Europe'!! lol

That is like saying "Chrysler, an electric carmaker in America". Renault is a major global manufacturer and much more than just an electric car maker.

"Renault, an electric carmaker in Europe"... Renault is a pretty big car maker in Europe, with tradition in cars industry and F1 racing.

I must agree with the above comment. Renault is one of the largest car makers in Europe and their (gas-powered) automobiles and trucks are seen everywhere on the continent. Please correct the article to read "Renault, a major European car maker" or you (and by reflection iClarified) will sound insular and uneducated. Respectfully, from Italy

You obviously not aware most Renault cars are designed by Japanese these days. Really nothing major with really few exceptions. Hence article statement not far from truth

mat (2010-12-02 01:46:57) You obviously not aware most Renault cars are designed by Japanese these days. Really nothing major with really few exceptions. Hence article statement not far from truth Err no, Renault and Nissan are business partners and I can name some Nissan models that are based on Renaults but not vice versa. Furthermore, "most" Nissan models are designed in house at the Nissan design centre in the UK. So yes, very far from the truth as despite their design origins, Renault is one of the largest car, van and truck manufacturer in Europe if not the world.

They are also the Owners of Nissan...

This is Nissan that has more manpower, more revenue, more designs, more sales in more countries. Of course everybody would love to own stake in such company and so does Renault. And owning a stake does not mean to be "Owner"
