The market for battery-electric vans is growing. Stallantis and Ford, among others, already offer such models, and now Renault is following suit with a Trafic. It is primarily intended for urban delivery traffic and is well equipped for this.
Because Renault has shown a sense of proportion when it comes to the battery and charging capabilities. At 52 kWh, the battery is not huge, which could keep the price, which Renault is not yet revealing, comparatively low. Renault uses the same battery for the Trafic E-Tech as for the larger Master, which only received the upgrade from 33 to 52 kWh in the summer. In the WLTP, 240 km are promised, which should be mostly sufficient for inner-city delivery traffic.

Quick to AC
The Trafic E-Tech can make full use of the comparatively tightly woven 22 kW AC charging infrastructure. Only at extra cost will it be possible to charge at DC charging points with up to 50 kW. Renault quotes consumption in the cycle at 17.1 to 18.6 kWh. The electric motor has an output of 90 kW. The van is available in two lengths and two heights: 5.08 and 5.48 m and 1.97 and 2.5 m respectively. The maximum load volume is between 5.8 and 8.9 cubic metres, depending on the version.
