The eco-friendly taxi company, which was founded in 2007, has a fleet made up almost entirely of highly-specced hybrid vehicles and caters for over 700 business customers across London and its surrounding airports.

It said the forthcoming fleet of Fluence Z.E. models would be deployed in Central London, where they will be able to use the expanding Source London charging point network. Customers will be charged the same rates as in the company’s existing hybrid fleet.

As part of ongoing plans to add electric vehicles into its fleet, Climatecars will also install its own charging point at its headquarters in the City.

Climatecars founder and managing director, 28-year-old Nicko Williamson, said: ‘The addition of the fully electric Renault Fluence to Climatecars fleet marks a crucial step towards our aim of being the world’s first zero emission car service. We are really excited to have partnered with Renault and are looking forward to offering a 100% electric car service to our customers.’
