Renault first presented the production version of the new Trafic E-Tech in November 2025. The van is the first Renault model to use an 800-volt electrical architecture and is also the company’s first software-defined vehicle, allowing functions and applications to be updated or added over the air throughout its working life.
The new generation E-Tech is built around a dedicated electric platform and offers up to 5.8 cubic meters of load space, a payload of up to 1.3 tonnes, and a towing capacity of two tonnes. As electrive reported at the time: the new van is based on a purely electric skateboard platform and should thus offer an ‘optimal ratio of load capacity to space requirements,’ according to Renault. Production is set to take place at Renault’s Sandouville plant in France.
UK customers can now order the new E-Tech from a starting price of £38,000 (excl. VAT). This price applies to the L1H1 panel van in the Advance trim with a 60 kWh battery. The UK range also includes an 81 kWh long-range option which starts at £43,000, as well as two body lengths, two trim levels, and crew van configurations; at the top-end, customers can expect to pay £53,715 OTR for the L2H1 long-range extra crew version. All versions are said to be eligible for the UK’s £5,000 Zero Emission Van Grant.
In an announcement, Renault said: “Whether it’s making deliveries across town or covering longer distances between jobs, Trafic E-Tech electric offers a choice of batteries to suit the workload. The 60kWh version is designed for urban journeys, while the 81kWh long range battery delivers up to 292 miles on the WLTP combined cycle.”
