Renault Trafic Goes Electric

With the E-Tech Electric Van Traffic, Renault now offers a 100% electric utility version in every segment.

A true best-seller that has won over more than 2.4 million professionals since 1980, the Renault Trafic Van is now available as a 100% electric version, completing the Renault electric utility vehicle range alongside the New Renault Kangoo Van E-Tech Electric and Master E-Tech Electric.

Characteristics of the Renault Trafic Van E-Tech Electric:

• Two lengths (5.08 m and 5.48 m) and two heights (1.967 m and 2.498 m)
• A payload volume (in van mode) ranging from 5.8 m³ to 8.9 m³
• A loading length of up to 4.15 m (on the extended L2 version with the “long load” trap located in the partition)
• A towing capacity of 920 kg and a payload of 1.1 tons
• Available in crew cab version
• extreme modularity and almost infinite customization thanks to a network of more than 359 approved bodybuilders.
• Storage compartments with a combined capacity of 88 liters (19.7 liters in the console, 14.6 liters in the doors, and 54 liters in the bench seat area).

By folding down the central seat, the backrest converts into a desk (with a storage space for a notepad) or a side table for dining. This ingenious feature, a Renault invention that must be highlighted, has become a “must-have” for professionals.

Thanks to the 52 kWh lithium-ion battery, the range is announced at 297 km according to WLTP cycle. It’s modest but sufficient for daily trips with peace of mind, at the best operating cost, and without polluting city centers! Batteries are guaranteed for 8 years or 160,000 km. During this period, they are replaced free of charge if their capacity drops below 70% of their nominal value. The 90 kW (122 hp) motor and 245 Nm torque feature an Eco mode that limits the vehicle’s power to ensure optimal range. There is also a “long range” version restricted to 90 km/h, offering a range of 322 km.

Traditional hydraulic braking is complemented by an ARBS (Adaptive Regenerative Brake System), which maximizes energy recovery.

The controls for the L2 versions (Van H1 & H2, crew cab, and double cab) will open in October, with first deliveries scheduled for November, while the L1 versions (Van H1 and double cab) will be available in November for initial deliveries in December.
