New Twingo e-tech is at the starting line

Pallade Veneta - New Twingo e-tech is at the starting line

Renault has reimagined its iconic Twingo as a purely electric city car. Built on the AmpR Small platform, the new model uses a lithium‑iron‑phosphate battery with 27.5 kWh of usable capacity and an 80 hp motor. This combination gives a WLTP range of about 163 miles (approximately 263 km). Standard charging is via a 6.6 kW AC charger, with options for 11 kW AC and 50 kW DC; the latter takes the battery from 10 to 80 percent in 30 minutes. A one‑pedal mode delivers strong regeneration for urban driving.

The Twingo E‑Tech is slated to hit the European market in early 2026 with a target price below €20,000. Early adopters can secure an R Pass from December 2025, gaining priority ordering and perks such as a 1:43 scale model and early test drives. Inside, a seven‑inch digital instrument cluster is paired with a ten‑inch infotainment screen running Google services and voice control. Sliding rear seats allow the boot to expand to 360 litres, and up to 24 driver‑assistance systems—including automated emergency braking and lane‑keeping—make this tiny EV surprisingly sophisticated.

Design cues recall the cheerful 1992 original: round LED headlights, bright paintwork and a compact silhouette with a generous 2.49‑m wheelbase create a surprisingly spacious cabin. Efficiency has been a core goal; the LFP battery and low mass aim for around 6.2 miles per kilowatt‑hour. Built in Novo Mesto, Slovenia alongside the upcoming Renault 5, the Twingo E‑Tech embodies Renault’s push to make affordable electric cars mainstream.

ट्रोजन: एक अधिक खतरनाक राजनीतिक युग के लिए विशेष सुरक्षा

जिन दिनों बख्तरबंद सरकारी वाहनों को मुख्य रूप से राज्य शक्ति का एक दृश्यमान प्रतीक माना जाता था, वे दिन अब समाप्त हो चुके हैं। राजनीतिक उग्रवाद, आतंकवादी खतरों, हाइब्रिड हमलों, तोड़फोड़ और अंतरराष्ट्रीय संघर्षों के परिणामों से परिभाषित सुरक्षा परिवेश में, उच्च-जोखिम वाले व्यक्तियों के लिए विशेष रूप से बख्तरबंद वाहन पेशेवर सुरक्षा रणनीतियों का एक व्यावहारिक घटक बनते जा रहे हैं। टोयोटा लैंड क्रूज़र 300 पर आधारित स्टूफ़ ट्रोजन इस बदलाव का एक प्रमुख उदाहरण है।

TROJAN: 더욱 위험해진 정치 시기를 위한 특별 보호 조치

장갑차 형태의 공무용 차량이 주로 국가 권력의 가시적인 상징으로 인식되던 시대는 지났다. 정치적 급진화, 테러 위협, 하이브리드 공격, 사보타주, 그리고 국제 분쟁의 여파가 특징인 현재의 안보 상황에서, 특히 위험에 노출된 인물을 위한 특수 경호 차량은 전문적인 보안 전략의 필수적인 요소로 자리 잡고 있습니다. 토요타 랜드크루저 300을 기반으로 한 ‘스토프 트로이안(Stoof Trojan)’은 이러한 변화를 잘 보여주는 대표적인 사례입니다.

TROJAN: спеціальний захист для більш небезпечних політичних часів

Часи, коли броньовані службові автомобілі сприймалися насамперед як видимий символ державної влади, минули. У безпековій ситуації, що характеризується політичною радикалізацією, терористичними загрозами, гібридними атаками, саботажем та наслідками міжнародних конфліктів, автомобілі з посиленим захистом для осіб, які перебувають у зоні підвищеного ризику, дедалі частіше стають невід’ємною складовою професійних концепцій безпеки. Автомобіль Stoof Trojan, створений на базі Toyota Land Cruiser 300, є яскравим прикладом цих змін.

TROJAN: Special protection for a more perilous political era

The days when armoured official vehicles were seen primarily as a visible symbol of state power are over. In a security environment characterised by political radicalisation, terrorist threats, hybrid attacks, sabotage and the repercussions of international conflicts, specially armoured vehicles for high-risk individuals are increasingly becoming a practical component of professional security strategies. The Stoof Trojan, based on the Toyota Land Cruiser 300, is a prime example of this shift.
