A new generation of electric utility vehicles from Renault

Renault unveils a new generation of models. Three names from the past reemerge, but 100% electric and with a distinctly modern style.

Renault takes a new step forward with vehicles featuring a SDV (Software Defined Vehicle) architecture and a 100% electric platform. They incorporate 800 V fast-charging technology that allows charging from 15% to 80% in less than 20 minutes, with a range of up to 450 km (WLTP*).

The Trafic, Goelette, and Estafette models are built on a “skateboard” electric platform that optimizes usable volume and allows for multiple configurations. This architecture offers a turning radius of 10.3 meters, comparable to that of a Renault Clio, facilitating urban use. The vehicles contain 22.5% recycled materials, and 80% of their components are recyclable at end of life, excluding the battery.

Two types of batteries are available:

• Long range (NMC): up to 450 km WLTP, designed for users traveling long distances.
• Standard (LFP): up to 350 km WLTP (on the Trafic model), intended for predominantly urban use.

The 800 V technology reduces charging times, thus enhancing user productivity.

These vehicles adopt a scalable software architecture, allowing over-the-air updates and the addition of new features. V2X options include:

• V2L (Vehicle-to-Load): charging devices via the vehicle.
• V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid): transferring energy back to the electrical grid.

These vehicles are produced at Renault’s Sandouville factory. Additional customization is provided by Qstomize, a Renault subsidiary specializing in utility vehicle modifications.
