Renault has taken a significant step in electromobility with the announcement of the Trafic E-Tech. The van, which is scheduled to hit the market from the end of 2026, will be Renault’s first vehicle to be equipped with 800-volt battery technology. This technology not only promises faster charging times, but also a range of up to 450 kilometers according to the WLTP standard. The vehicle’s premiere is scheduled for November 18th at the Solutrans trade fair.
The 800-volt architecture, developed by Renault’s engineering services provider Ampere, is a significant advance in charging infrastructure. It makes it possible to charge the battery from 15 to 80 percent at DC fast charging stations in just 20 minutes, which corresponds to a range of 260 kilometers. This charging speed is comparable to that of the Kia PV5, but works with a 400-volt battery. Renault also plans to later offer a more cost-effective variant with a lithium iron phosphate battery that will offer a range of 350 kilometers.
The Trafic E-Tech is part of a new generation of Renault commercial vehicles to be launched under the revived Estafette, Goelette and Trafic names. These vehicles offer alternatives to models from VW, Peugeot, Opel and Kia. The Trafic will initially be available as a panel van, followed later by variants as a bus, van and platform chassis. Despite its size, the Trafic is optimized for urban use, with a turning circle equivalent to that of a Renault Clio and a height of 1.9 meters that allows access to underground car parks.
The introduction of 800-volt technology could have a significant impact on the market for electric commercial vehicles. Experts expect this technology to increase the adoption of electric vehicles in the commercial sector as it promises more efficient use and lower operating costs. Renault’s approach to integrating a scalable architecture with cloud-based software and over-the-air updates shows that the company is committed to the future of connected mobility. Prices for the Trafic E-Tech are not yet known, but are expected to be based on models such as the Kia PV5, which costs around 40,000 euros as a bus.
