Electromobility

#JoinTheGoodMove

As a leading player in sustainable mobility, Renault Trucks committed to electric vehicles over 10 years ago in an endeavour to improve the quality of life in city centres and cut CO₂ emissions to decarbonise road freight transport.

We offer a comprehensive range of fully electric vehicles from 650 kg to 44 t for all uses, as well as complete support for operators in their energy transition..

Moving towards zero-emission transport

For us, electric mobility is the best way to contributing to the decarbonisation of transport and to reduce global warming. It is also the best answer to issues surrounding air quality and noise. 

This is why we are offering fully electric vehicles, featuring the Kleuster Freegônes e-cargo bike, Renault Trucks E-Tech Trafic Red EDITION, Renault Trucks E-Tech Master Red Edition, Renault Trucks E-Tech D, Renault Trucks E-Tech D Wide, Renault Trucks E-Tech C and Renault Trucks E-Tech T, a complete range from 650 to 44 t GCW.

Our medium-duty electric trucks are mass-produced in our Blainville-sur-Orne plant in Normandy. Our high-tonnage trucks are produced in series at our Bourg-en-Bresse plant. They are entirely designed by our R&D teams and manufactured on our vehicle assembly line to offer a cost-competitive solution with the same quality standard as our diesel range.

Whatever the restrictions introduced, our E-Tech range of vehicles can carry on working anywhere without any interruption. They are the ideal solution for preserving air quality and reducing congestion, as they allow silent deliveries at staggered times and produce no local pollution or CO₂ emissions.

Why change to electric?

Cities welcome you with open arms: traffic restrictions are increasingly stringent, yet city-centre access is key to your business. With our range of electric vehicles, you can enter the heart of cities and low-emission zones (LEZ), even during periods of high pollution. Operating at off-peak times for quiet deliveries, electric vehicles help reduce traffic congestion.

Enjoy the quiet: Electric trucks are quiet (10 decibels lower than a diesel truck). This is much appreciated when they deliver to stores in the street below very early in the morning! They can now drive all night long in city centres and help ease traffic during the day.

Make the move towards zero-emission mobility: Electric trucks do not emit CO2 or NOx (nitrogen oxide) during use because they have no exhaust. The only particles emitted are due to the friction of the tyres and brake discs. Just like bicycles!

Driver comfort: Drivers appreciate the comfort of electric vehicles, which are easy to handle and quiet. They are simply pleasant to drive.

A virtuous life cycle: The life cycle of electric trucks is virtuous, as each part can be reused or completely transformed.

Building a European Charging Network: A Key Challenge for Electric Trucks

The transition to electric truck fleets relies on a critical component: a high-performance, dense, and accessible charging network across Europe.

Manufacturers, in collaboration with energy providers, are working to deploy a network capable of supporting the growing number of electric vehicles. Several charging station networks are emerging, now making long-distance operations across Europe possible (see the interactive map below), thanks to high-power chargers that allow vehicles to recharge during drivers’ regulatory breaks. In the near future, this process will become even simpler with the introduction of megachargers, capable of partially or fully recharging trucks in just a few minutes.

The charging network in Europe as of 12/12/2024:

- 102 operational charging stations dedicated to trucks
- 111 operational stations compatible with trucks
- 117 planned stations for trucks

With a coordinated approach between industry and policymakers, we can build a reliable and ambitious ecosystem that will support the energy transition and reassure transport operators ready to adopt electric fleets.

A range of 100% decarbonised vehicles

Our second generation of fully electric vehicles, from 650 kg to 44 t, meets our customers' full range of uses and requirements:

• Kleuster Freegônes e-cargo bike: a three-wheeled vehicle with a range of 80 km and a total weight of up to 650 kg, the Freegônes is the solution that allows transporters operating in cities to access low-emission zones and ensure last-mile delivery in a productive and carbon-free manner. It is available in 5 versions to cover a wide range of uses.
• Renault Trucks E-Tech Trafic Electric Red EDITION: 3 models,  van, double cab van, flatbed, with a GVW of 3.07t and a 9297 km actual operating range for urban use.
• Renault Trucks E-Tech Master Electric Red EDITION: 2 models, van and flatbed, with a GRW of 3.1 tonnes and a 120 km operating range, designed for urban use and last-mile deliveries.
• Renault Trucks E-Tech D Electric: with a GRW of 16 tonnes, this model has been designed for the distribution of goods in cities and has a range of battery capacities from 200 to 400 kWh. It is suitable for traditional distribution assignments and comes in a range of bodywork types.
• Renault Trucks E-Tech D Wide Electric: with a GRW of 19 or 26 tonnes, this is the ideal truck for transporting goods in peri-urban environments and for waste collection, with a payload comparable to that of a diesel truck. Its operating range is secured with a 265-kWh battery.
• Renault Trucks E-Tech C and T: two models of up to 44 tonnes GVW, for regional transport and for the construction industry respectively.
