For those unfamiliar with the Twizy, all you need to know is that it's one of Europe's top-selling electric cars. Renault appears to be growing the Twizy in the same way [Mini](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yoonit-mini-cargobike) grew the [Cooper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-spaceman-hatchback) line. Like Mini, Renault is merely reshaping a single model to provide increased functionality to drivers with varied needs. The Renault Twizy Cargo is, as its name suggests, designed to carry things around the city. Its rear doors open at a 90 degree angle and it can hold up to 165 pounds of goods. Its small size means that it should be able to fit into Europe's tiniest parking spots. Renault has already developed a track-ready Twizy and an upscale model. Don't be shocked if they continue to reshape the now-iconic EV. Convertible, anyone? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Urban Deliveries:** The trend of using electric cargo vehicles, like the Renault Twizy Cargo, for efficient urban deliveries. - **Reshaping Models:** The trend of automakers reshaping models to provide increased functionality and cater to varied needs, similar to Renault's approach with the Twizy. - **Electric Vehicle Sales:** The growing trend of electric vehicles, such as the Renault Twizy, becoming top-selling cars in Europe. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can explore opportunities to design and manufacture electric cargo vehicles for urban deliveries, inspired by the success of the Renault Twizy Cargo. - **Logistics and Delivery:** The logistics and delivery industry can adopt efficient practices by incorporating electric cargo vehicles, like the Renault Twizy, for urban deliveries. - **Electric Vehicle Manufacturing:** The electric vehicle manufacturing industry can capitalize on the increasing demand for electric cars, such as the Renault Twizy, by developing innovative and versatile models for various use cases. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compact Urban Delivery Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tris-ev.md) - [Electric Cargo-Hauling Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evolv-elm-mobility.md) - [Eco Commerce-Ready Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nissan-townstar.md) - [Cargo-Carrying Electric Rickshaws](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-rickshaws.md) - [Collaboration Cargo Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/douze-cycles-x-la-mobilit-toyota-cargo-ebike.md) - [Commuter Cargo Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e-crosscity.md) - [Compact Cargo E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-cargo-e-bikes.md) - [Expandable Electric Cargo Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-folding-cargo-bike.md) - [Electric Five-Door Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fivedoor-cars.md)
