Renault Pushes Commercial EVs With 600‑Km E‑Tech T 780 and 800V Trafic Reveal

Renault bets on bigger batteries plus faster charging to cut downtime for commercial EVs.

Overview

  • Renault Trucks added the E‑Tech T 780 with a 780 kWh pack and a claimed 600 km range for long‑haul use, enabled by a new integrated e‑axle layout that frees space for more batteries.
  • The E‑Tech T 585 pairs a 585 kWh battery with a roughly 460 km range and offers up to 28 tonnes payload within the lineup.
  • Both new trucks support Megawatt Charging System up to 720 kW, which Renault says can add about 350 km in a 45‑minute break, with CCS charging up to 350 kW available for depots.
  • Production runs at Bourg‑en‑Bresse with orders open now, and Renault Trucks backs the batteries with an eight‑year or 1,000,000 km performance guarantee.
  • Renault also unveiled the Trafic E‑Tech Electric using an 800V architecture with a manufacturer claim of 10–80% charging in about 20 minutes and up to 450 km range, pending final homologation before a planned late‑2026 launch.
