Santa travels across the UK on Renault Retail Group's electric sleigh

8655 Renault Retail Group (RRG) has provided Santa with an electric sleigh to visit and deliver gifts to residents, charities and businesses in London, Cardiff, Cannock and Manchester during a four-day journey in which a full electric charge was applied between 112 -186 miles.

Local social media users directed the route by requesting gifts and visits on twitter and facebook with the hashtag #SantGoesElectric.

The sleigh's is said to cost as little as 2p per mile as well as generate 0% emissions.
 
Ashley Wade, group marketing manager for RRG said: “Who travels a long way at the end of the year, with a lot of stuff? Santa that’s who! We decided it was time for Santa to go electric with the Renault Zoe. A fun story with environmental statistics on ‘reindeer emissions’ and free chocolate was the perfect way to engage the public with electric cars”.
