Trafic E-Tech Electric: A New Era for a Renault Icon
The fourth-generation Trafic E-Tech electric builds on its legacy of over 2.5 million units sold since 1980. Featuring a modern one-box design, it maximizes interior space with a short front overhang and an extended wheelbase. Measuring under 1.90m in height, it is ideal for underground parking access. The van incorporates Renault’s latest design language, with a backlit logo, sleek DRLs, and a distinctive 3D rear light signature. Built for intensive daily use, it boasts grained black lower body protection for enhanced durability.
Goelette E-Tech Electric: Built for Adaptability
A reinvention of the classic Goelette van (1956-1966), this new electric version is designed to cater to fleet and business owners. It offers three body styles—chassis cab, box, and tipper, allowing for extensive customization. The vehicle’s structural parts are designed to support various configurations, making it an ideal solution for businesses needing custom-built utility vans.
Estafette E-Tech Electric: The Future of Urban Logistics
Inspired by the Renault Estafette Concept, this compact and maneuverable van is tailored for city-based businesses. Measuring 5.27m long and 1.92m wide, it features a panoramic windscreen for enhanced visibility, a sliding side door with an integrated track, and a roller shutter rear door for optimized cargo access. Its urban-friendly design ensures easy handling in tight city streets, while its robust body protection supports heavy-duty use.
With this bold, all-electric LCV lineup, Renault is paving the way for the future of commercial transportation, offering customized, efficient, and technology-driven solutions for businesses worldwide. Further details will be revealed as the 2026 launch approaches.
