Renault Debuts Trafic E‑Tech Electric Van With 800‑Volt Platform at Solutrans

The focus is fleet efficiency through an 800‑volt platform with a centralized OS for updates and integrations.

Overview

  • Built on a purpose‑designed skateboard chassis with an underfloor battery and rear‑wheel drive, the van targets professional urban and regional use.
  • Two battery chemistries are planned, with an LFP option targeting about 350 km WLTP and an NMC option targeting about 450 km WLTP.
  • A new 150 kW motor pairs with DC fast charging that Renault says can take the battery from 15% to 80% in under 20 minutes at suitable stations.
  • The software‑defined setup runs CAR OS by Ampere on Android Automotive to enable over‑the‑air updates, apps and fleet system integration.
  • Payload is up to 1.25 tonnes with an indicated 2‑tonne towing capacity pending homologation, and two body lengths (L1/L2) offer 5.1/5.8 m³ with a car‑like turning circle.
