THEY are perfect for anyone with an all-electric approach to saving the environment.
Tourists visiting the New Forest can hire a Renault Twizy – a battery-powered two-seater that enables people to explore the countryside without polluting the air.
The multi-coloured cars are capable of 50mph and can travel for up to 62 miles once they have been fully charged.
More than 20 charge points have been installed at hotels, restaurants and visitor attractions, enabling people to use the vehicles all day long.
Tourism chiefs say the Forest is the first holiday destination in the UK to operate a fleet of Twizys.
James Beresford, chief executive of Visit England, launched the scheme at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, to mark English Tourism Week.
