Paris - Renault's latest concept car, Ellypse, heralds a new era of harmony between automobile and environment. Aggressiveness is banished from the soft yet structured forms behind its friendly personality. A cleverly-designed car with new functions, Ellypse showcases the Touch Design concept for better man/machine interface.

The Ellypse concept ar also illustrates Renault 's commitment to sustainable development through its environmentally-friendly design: its architecture favours easy removal and recycling of components at the end of the car 's life-cycle, the new-generation diesel engine reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions (85g of CO2 /km), and it is equipped with advanced x-by-wire technology and 42-volt electrics.
