With 30 million kilometres of proven performance in real world operation with customers, Renault Trucks electric trucks have already saved 29,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions. With this new offering, the French manufacturer is further extending its range of sustainable transport solutions to support its customers in their energy transition.
The increased range of the Renault Trucks E-Tech T is achieved by integrating a new component, namely an electric axle. E-axle technology enables all the elements of the powertrain – electric motors and transmission – to be grouped together at the rear of the vehicle, freeing up space between the side members to accommodate additional battery packs. Renault Trucks E-Tech T equipped with e-axle can cover 600km on a single charge.
“The advent of this electric truck will boost the transition to electric mobility,” said Emmanuel Duperray, senior vice-president electromobility at Renault Trucks. “We believe that a range of 600km on a single charge, combined with the development of public charging infrastructure networks by 2026 – in particular through our joint venture Milence – will enable us to achieve the operational parity [with diesel technology] that our customers expect.”
