Renault is making the final touches to its plans to introduce the first electric vehicles so, to be sure everything is going to be right, it signed a deal with Axa Assistance to provide roadside assistance for all of its models in Europe. The Renault-Nissan alliance will thus debut a "full set of innovative services" for electric vehicles, as it is mentioned in the press release, with each of them to be offered in a total of 21 European countries.

France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, UK, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden and Switzerland will all benefit from Renault-Nissan's offering.

"The company has prepared extensively for the opening of this promising market, both by getting its breakdown assistance partners involved and by adapting the service at its assistance platforms. Working with a specialized international body, AXA has organized dedicated training courses at its assistance platforms and with service providers," Renault explained in a press release.

As we do know, Nissan has already launched its first all-electric vehicle called LEAF in the United States and in Japan and is expected to be launched in Europe in the upcoming months.
