The Mobilize Duo was a two-seater electric quadricycle that replaced the Renault Twizy in 2023, which was unveiled at the 2022 Paris Motor Show.[8][9] First previewed as the Mobilize EZ-1 concept in 2021,[10] it was eventually renamed to its current name and shown at the 2021 Viva Tech event.[11] A cargo version, named the Mobilize Bento, will be available with a 1 m3 (1.3 cu yd) load area.[11]
In 2024 it was announced that the Mobilize Bento and Duo models would be available in the United Kingdom and go on sale in 2025.[12]
In December 2025 Renault ended production of the Duo and eliminated 80 of 450 positions at Mobilize due to 'limited profitability' shifting the company's main focus to the development of electric vehicle charging solutions.[13]
