Renault to Manufacture new Twingo E-Tech Electric Cars in Slovenia

Renault is to develop and produce the new Twingo E-Tech electric cars in Slovenia. It will base the production of the future electric model at the Revoz plant in the city of Novo mesto.

After more than 50 years of Renault car production in Slovenia, the plant will benefit from extensive investment in new production processes.

The Slovenian Government has also decided to support the investment, thereby ensuring the future of the Revoz plant.

This move will secure not only Slovenia's future as a car manufacturer but also its transition into an electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer.

The future Renault Twingo E-Tech Electric will be on the market in less than two years.

Herbert Steiner, the Vice-President for Renault Brand Industry at Renault Group, says: "Renault's new affordable electric city car, the future Twingo E-Tech Electric developed by Ampere, will be produced here in Slovenia from 2026. This is the result of an outstanding cooperation between Ampere, Renault, Revoz and the Slovenian Government and local authorities. Together, we are enabling environmentally friendly mobility and sustainable transport options in the urban environment.  The future Twingo E-Tech is our response to decarbonisation, air quality issues, affordable electric mobility, environmentally friendly materials and, last but not least, the re-industrialisation of Europe."

Slovenia's Prime Minister, Robert Golob, adds: "From day one, the Government has relied on innovation, development and science, and today's investment is the result of these efforts. In the future, the Government will continue to support all investments that bring new knowledge, new technologies and innovations to Slovenia. These are the technologies we believe will shape the future." 

In 2023, Slovenia increased subsidies for the purchase of electric vehicles.
