Mobilize is the Renault Group’s new division dedicated to shared mobility and the mobility of the future. It has three objectives: to reduce the gap between car use and costs, as vehicles are currently unused 90% of the time. To improve the residual value of the vehicle, to contribute to the goal of zero CO2 emissions. It was in this context that the EZ-1 Prototype was developed, a two-passenger electric microcar designed from the ground up to be shared by users of the French group’s new service.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The vehicle is only 2.3 metres long and has a small footprint, and the battery pack can be easily replaced. The vehicle takes the concept previously developed by the Renault Twizy and projects it into the future: “Mobilize EZ-1 Prototype is a mobility device that merges with the city. Agile, dynamic and inclusive, it accompanies users in their lifestyle change towards a more efficient and responsible mobility”, says Patrick Lecharpy, head of Mobilize design.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The vehicle embodies the brand’s design vision: service at the heart of vehicle design. The Mobilize EZ-1 Prototype is a new urban mobility solution designed for shared use. As such, it will be marketed in an innovative way: users will only pay for what they use, in terms of driving time or mileage. The vehicle is connected: it has keyless access and interacts with users via their smartphone. The EZ-1 Prototype is reportedly made from 50% recycled materials and will be 95% recyclable at the end of its life cycle.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":44905,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-44910","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-25 00:28:16","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44910","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44910"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44910\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44910"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44910"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
