New electric van range breaks cover

Flexis, the joint venture between Renault Group, Volvo Group and CMA CGM, has unveiled a new range of electric vans ahead of their arrival next year.

The vehicles offer up to 279 miles / 450km of WLTP range and will be backed by a ‘holistic ecosystem’ of services to support the entire urban logistics lifecycle.

Flexis has already invested £293m and is developing 100% electric, 100% connected, 100% urban-centric and 100% customisable urban logistics vehicles based on a common EV-native skateboard platform, equipped with software-defined vehicle (SDV) electronic architecture developed by Ampere of Renault Groupe.

The family comprises three models: the step-in van, the cargo van and the panel van. Features include a low floor height to ease loading and unloading, full customisation capability for the interior without the constraints of retrofitted hardware, along with high-capacity battery solutions allowing for fast charging (80% in less than 20 minutes).

The platform enables the vehicles to send real-time data to fleet management operators to maximise operational efficiency, as well as receive over-the-air updates, essentially making the vehicle a computer on wheels.

The vehicles are designed with superior ergonomics to increase driver safety and provide the comfort of a passenger car.

Production will start mid-2026 at Renault Group’s Sandouville plant in France.
