Renault has revealed prices and specification for the new Renault Trafic E-Tech 100% electric.
The all-electric van is now available to order, with prices starting from £34,500 plus VAT after the £5,000 PiVG (Plug-in Van Grant). First deliveries are expected from September.
The zero-emissions-in-use van is available in a choice of three versions, including a high roof model that occupies a unique position in the UK market.
It joins the Kangoo E-Tech 100% electric and new Master E-Tech 100% electric in Renault’s Pro+ range, which now offers an all-electric LCV suitable for every business, no matter their size.
Two body lengths (5.08 and 5.48 metres) and two heights (1.967 and 2.498 metres) are available for the new Trafic E-Tech 100% electric, offering a load space that ranges from 5.8m3 to 8.9m3.
Loads of up to 4.15 metres in length can be carried in the LWB version thanks to the clever load-through facility, while up to 920kg of towing capacity and a maximum payload of up to 1,222kg ensure no job is too big.
With a 52kWh lithium-ion battery, the new Trafic E-Tech 100% electric can drive for up to a claimed 186 miles (WLTP) on a single charge, while rapid DC charging up to 50kW can fully recharge the battery from flat in just an hour.
Standard equipment includes an Easy Link display with 8-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®, full LED headlights with C-shaped DRLs, heated electrically-adjustable door mirrors, rear parking sensors, cruise control with speed limiter, intelligent speed assist, active emergency braking system, tyre pressure warning, lane departure warning, driver attention alert and drowsiness warning.
