Renault reveals trio of new electric vans

Due to arrive from 2026, the Estafette, Goelette and Trafic vans are set to shake up the logistics sector with bold looks and connected services, helped by up to 279 miles of WLTP range.

The vehicles are the fruits of the Flexis joint venture between Renault Group, Volvo Group and CMA CGM. The company plans to sell its vehicles directly, while Renault Group and Renault Trucks are launching their own versions in their sales networks.

The Renault line-up includes the all-new Trafic mid-sized electric van. It features a one-box design with a short front overhang and extended wheelbase. Appearance showcases Renault’s latest design cues, with a backlit upper strip, side daytime running lights and backlit logo. The Trafic E-Tech also gets grained black lower body protection, along with the front and rear bumpers and lower door sections.

Next up is the Goelette E-Tech electric, the latest model to revive a name from the Renault back catalogue. The new Goelette E-Tech will be available in three versions – chassis cab, box and tipper – paving the way for a wide choice of conversions.

The rear section has no specific equipment. Instead, it’s designed for a “virtually infinite” range of fittings and customised features, with structural parts able to accommodate a box or other configurations tailored to specific user requirements.

Last up, is the Estafette E-Tech electric, which reboots the brand’s 1960s van, which sold more than half a million units between 1959 and 1980.

The design stays faithful to the Renault Estafette Concept presented last September.

Its compact design – 5.27m long and 1.92m wide – is intended for easy use in the city. It stands 2.6m high, allowing a person up to 1.9m tall to move around the interior between the cockpit and cargo area.

Inspired by the design of the Trafic E-Tech, Estafette E-Tech electric features a large three-piece panoramic windscreen. The contemporary front-end features a distinctive lighting signature, using a light strip with daytime running lights.

Other practical urban-focused features include a sliding side door with an invisible integrated track for a smooth opening.
