Introducing the Renault Trafic Van E-Tech Electric: A Zero-Emission Vehicle for the Future

-

 Renault has proudly introduced the latest addition to its electric light commercial vehicle (LCV) range: the Trafic Van E-Tech Electric. This all-electric iteration of the famous Trafic van, a staple on the market for over 40 years with over two million units sold globally, is Renault's response to the increasing need for zero-emission mobility solutions. It's particularly suited to urban and suburban settings, where LCVs are frequently utilized for deliveries, services, and trades.

What Makes the Trafic Van E-Tech Electric Stand Out?

The Renault Trafic Van E-Tech Electric retains the same platform as its diesel-powered predecessor but has been reimagined with a new front-end design, showcasing its electric identity. The grille, bumper, and headlights have been redesigned for a more contemporary, dynamic aesthetic, while blue accents and the E-Tech logo underscore the vehicle's electric nature. The Renault Trafic Van E-Tech Electric also boasts a revamped dashboard featuring a 10-inch digital instrument cluster and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system equipped with Renault's Easy Link software. This user-friendly system provides the driver access to a host of functions and information related to the electric drivetrain, including battery status, charging options, range, energy consumption, and eco-driving tips.

The Trafic Van E-Tech Electric is energized by a front-positioned electric motor, producing 90 kW (122 hp) and 245 Nm (180 lb-ft) of torque. Its power is derived from a 52 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, promising a distance of up to 184 miles (297 km) per charge, as per the WLTP cycle. The battery can be re-energized via a single-phase 7 kW AC charger, a three-phase 22 kW AC charger, or a 50 kW DC fast charger set to be available in 2024. The duration of charging depends on the power source and battery level. However, Renault asserts that the 22 kW AC charger can supply a range of 31 miles (50 km) in less than 25 minutes.

The Trafic Van E-Tech Electric is offered in two body lengths (L1 and L2) and two heights (H1 and H2), providing an assortment of configurations and dimensions to cater to varying needs and tastes. The cargo volume spans from 5.8 m3 to 8.9 m3, contingent on the model, with a payload capacity of up to 1.1 tonnes. The Trafic Van E-Tech Electric can also haul up to 750 kg. Although this is less than the diesel variant, it remains competitive in its class. The Trafic Van E-Tech Electric also incorporates a trap door in the partition, facilitating the loading of items up to 4.15 m long in the L2 extended version.

How Does the Trafic Van E-Tech Electric Stack Up Against Its Competitors?

The Renault Trafic Van E-Tech Electric enters a market already boasting electric LCVs like the Volkswagen e-Transporter, Mercedes-Benz eVito, and Ford Transit Custom Plug-in Hybrid. Despite the competition, Renault asserts its electric van holds the edge with a longer range, superior payload capacity, lower total cost of ownership, and a comprehensive warranty.

Renault reports that the Trafic Van E-Tech Electric has an impressive range of 184 miles (297 km). This outpaces the Volkswagen e-Transporter's range of 82 miles (132 km), the Mercedes-Benz eVito's 92 miles (148 km), and the Ford Transit Custom Plug-in Hybrid's 35 miles (56 km) in electric mode. For those seeking even greater range, Renault offers a long-range version of the Trafic Van E-Tech Electric capable of covering up to 200 miles (322 km) on a single charge, albeit with a limited top speed of 56 mph (90 km/h).

The Trafic Van E-Tech Electric surpasses its rivals in payload capacity, capable of carrying up to 1.1 tonnes. This exceeds the Volkswagen e-Transporter's 0.9 tonnes, the Mercedes-Benz eVito's 0.8 tonnes, and the Ford Transit Custom Plug-in Hybrid's 0.5 tonnes. Renault also touts a lower total cost of ownership for its electric van compared to its diesel counterpart, attributing the cost savings to reduced maintenance and energy expenses, as well as lower taxes.

Renault provides a substantial warranty for the Trafic Van E-Tech Electric, covering the vehicle for five years or 62,000 miles (100,000 km) and the battery for eight years or 99,000 miles (160,000 km), whichever comes first. This exceeds the warranties offered by Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, and Ford for their electric LCVs, which include a three-year vehicle warranty and a six-year battery warranty.



Availability of the Trafic Van E-Tech Electric 

The Renault Trafic Van E-Tech Electric will be available for sale in Europe from October 2023, with deliveries starting in November 2023. While prices are yet to be announced, they are anticipated to be higher than the diesel version, which has a starting price of $28,000 (€23,900) in France. Nevertheless, Renault asserts that the electric van will qualify for various incentives and subsidies in different countries, potentially lowering the initial cost and enhancing its affordability.

The Trafic Van E-Tech Electric is a key component of Renault's visionary plan to electrify its full LCV range by 2025. This French car manufacturing giant already touts the Kangoo Van E-Tech Electric and Master E-Tech Electric, catering to the small and large segments of the LCV market. By introducing the Trafic Van E-Tech Electric, Renault seeks to bolster its standing as a trailblazer in electric mobility. This move is aimed at accommodating the demands of its clientele, who are on the lookout for sustainable and efficacious solutions for their enterprises.

Harley-Davidson plans its own electric motorcycles division

  Harley-Davidson plans to set up its own division for electric motorcycles. This emerges from the motorcycle manufacturer's now published five-year “Hardwire” plan. Previously there had been rumours in the USA that Harley could stop the electric project as part of its austerity program. The focus of the new department will be on technology development as well as product and market launch activities, according to Harley-Davidson. The Livewire, which has been available since 2019, is likely to be followed by a number of other electric models from Harley-Davidson. "The creation of a separate department enables complete autonomy in the development of electric motorcycles , which allows the business unit to behave freely and agile while drawing on the support, expertise and supervision of the broader organization," says CEO Jochen Zeitz. In the run-up, rumours circulated in the US media that Harley-Davidson had allegedly ended its electric plans . On the website of the US ma
