Barcelona's green transportation options have recently expanded to include rental bikes and hybrid buses. A new memorandum of understanding between Barcelona and the Renault-Nissan Alliance - in which they promise to "work together to identify areas of co-operations in promoting the use of zero emission vehicles in the city" - will also bring zero-emission vehicles to the Spanish city. It's the latest of many MOUs the Alliance has signed with governments around the world. For Barcelona, the MOU is another step in a sustainable mobility program that aims to make all-electric vehicles a feasible alternative. The program offers EV tax breaks and special benefits for EV drivers and will also install almost 200 EV charge points in Barcelona by 2011. Also in 2011, Renault will build electric vehicles (as well as traditional gasoline sippers) at its plants in Castille and León. CEO Carlos Ghosn said recently that the Alliance is thinking of making electric vehicle batteries in France as well.
