14 September 2023

Renault Trafic is a bestseller that over 2.4 million professionals have trusted since 1980, and the lineage now includes a version that completes Renault’s all-electric LCV line-up, alongside All-new Renault Kangoo Van E-Tech electric and Master E-Tech electric.

ALL OF TRAFIC’S STRENGTHS, AND ALL-ELECTRIC

This version is like all other electric LCVs from Renault: it cuts no corners on its ICE counterparts’ strengths, providing high level of performance along with ample choice and customisation possibilities.

Renault Trafic Van E-Tech electric has inherited all the upsides that made this model so successful over the past 40-plus years, turned it into an icon in its segment and ranked it as the third most sold LCV in Europe.

Trafic Van E-Tech electric still offers the best choice of lengths, versatility and storage space customisation possibilities in the vans:

Two lengths (5.08 metres and 5.48 metres) and two heights (1.967 metres and 2.498 metres)
Load space (in van mode) ranging from 5.8 cu. metres to 8.9 cu. metres
Up to 4.15 metres of load length (in the L2 extended version with the trap door in the partition)
Up to 920 kg of towing capacity and 1.1 tonnes of payload capacity
Available in a floor cab version
Extreme modularity and almost limitless customisation options from our network of over 359 approved body makers.

The storage space in the cab adds up to 88 litres (19.7 litres in the console, 14.6 litres in the doors, 54 litres in the bench).

In some trims, the glove compartment is actually an Easylife drawer with a clever opening system that makes it extra handy for the driver and holds a full 6.6 litres.

Trafic Van was the first LCV to come with a “mobile office”. When you fold down the seat in the middle, the back becomes a desk (including a notepad storage slot) or a table for meals. Thanks to Renault Trafic Van, this smart piece of equipment has become a must-have for tradespeople.

With its lithium-ion battery of 52 kWh capacity, All-new Trafic Van E-Tech electric can drive up to 297 km between charges (WLTP). This is usually plenty for a full day – at the best cost of ownership and use.

The batteries have an 8-year or 160,000 km warranty. While they are covered, they are replaced free of charge if their state of health drops below 70% of its nominal level.

All-new Trafic Van E-Tech electric is powered by a 90 kW (122 hp) motor providing 245 Nm of instantly available torque, so it is smooth and relaxing to drive in all circumstances. An Eco mode limiting the vehicle's power ensures optimum range, and there is also a 'long range' version limited to 90 km/h, giving a range of 322 km.

The conventional hydraulic braking system now includes an ARBS (Adaptative Regenerative Brake System), which maximises energy recovery.

All-new Trafic Van E-Tech electric has a choice of three types of chargers:

A single-phase 7 kW AC charger that works with all types of home outlets
A 22 kW AC fast charger for public stations, providing a 50 km range top-up (WLTP) in less than 25 minutes
A 50 kW DC fast charger will be available next year

Lastly, via the MyRenault smartphone app or Renault Easy Link multimedia system (which comes as standard with all trims), All-new Trafic Van E-Tech electric provides several specific services including:

Scheduled battery charging and remote battery status monitoring
Scheduled cab pre-heating
Charging points on your route
A list of destinations you can reach with the battery’s remaining range

The order book for the L2 (H1 and H2 Van, FloorCab and CrewCab) will open this October with deliveries starting in November. Ordering for the L1 (H1 Van and CrewCab) will begin in November with deliveries starting in December.

MADE IN FRANCE, AT THE PLANT IN SANDOUVILLE

The decision to manufacture Renault Trafic at Sandouville was made in 2010. Renault invested €230 million to overhaul and refit the plant to build an LCV with 600 possible combinations.

Production began in 2014 and almost 600 Renault Trafic vans now roll out of Sandouville every day – or one Trafic every 80 seconds in two shifts. About 75% of the vehicles made at this plant are exported.

Sandouville is still at the cutting edge, and is now preparing to launch Trafic E-Tech 100% electric this year.

Its 1,677 people also produce vehicles for Nissan (Primastar) and Renault Trucks (Trafic Red Edition), and are rising to several challenges around energy transition and decarbonisation (the plant’s energy management system earned ISO 50001 certification in February 2023), process digitalisation and innovation.

All-new Trafic Van E-Tech Electric’s motor and chargers are made at Renault’s plant in Cléon, Normandy, the battery is assembled at Flins, and Gretz-Armainvilliers handles vehicle electrification.
