Renault TREZOR: electric GT // Renault TREZOR: electric GT
As a volunteer Rod Bates and his partner Joanne returned last weekend supporting fire outside of Adelaide in January, their return trip took a turn for the worse when they drove their Renault Kangoo on the highway .
The lack of attention a while, drove the vehicle plowing the highway into the ditch between the lanes and then roll over almost new diesel Kangoo van left the road, crossed the center median and rolled through the oncoming lane, coming to rest at the extreme edge of the floor Fortunately both Rod and Joanne climbed on the vehicle, little worse for wear.
We were very lucky that we didn t hit other cars or poles or trees, Rod said my only memory of the accident as it was happening was that I was pinned to the seat by the seat belt, I n have not felt any impact, he said, but I felt the seat belt holding me tightly to me.
Rod says he has no recollection of his head hit the airbag, but he remembers the noise it made a sound you remember that I ended up with a scratch and burn deployment of airbag and my partner ended up with a couple black eyes, bruises and minor belts of a mild concussion when guys emergency services arrived, they could not believe we had left the car, said Rod .
While Kangoo suffered damage to the large body, the cabin was largely intact minor damage occurred to Rod stock had at the back of the vehicle, but the actual size barrier of the cargo cell protection passengers intrusion behind the interior was, however, generously sprinkled with freeze-dried coffee beans and content of a cup that had been lies in the cup holder.
I bought the Renault Kangoo only weeks before the accident I was looking for a small runabout or van for my business lighting and sound we have a larger van, but it is a bit bulky and very thirsty driving city throughout the time, he said fuel usage was very impressive, about half of what we used in the larger van, he said.
It is a pity that the Kangoo was written off as us closer about 6000 km on the clock, but I'm hoping to replace it with a new Kangoo Maxi soon as they become available.
Commenting on the performance of the crash Kangoo, Renault Australia Managing Director, Justin Hocevar said course we are relieved that Rod and Joanne could walk away The Kangoo is small, but he's strong, and safety engineering that went into Kangoo, which is built on a passenger car platform, really did his thing.
