Renault Trucks lights up Europe with Diamond Echo

Renault Trucks is touring Europe with a unique 100% electric truck. This vehicle, a Renault Trucks E-Tech T called Diamond Echo, features an electroluminescent design, set off on 11 April from the Bourg-en-Bresse plant where it was manufactured.

It will travel more than 10,000 kilometres across seven countries, including the UK, making over 60 stops to meet the transport community and demonstrate the operational reality of electric mobility. Renault Trucks offers a complete range of 100% electric vehicles, from 650kg e-cargo bikes to 44-tonne tractors and urban construction trucks.

The Diamond Echo is painted with light. The result of a collaboration with drivers and design and paint specialists, this exceptional truck reveals itself in the dark.

Based on Lumilor technology, the paint, applied by Demon Paint, glows when subjected to an electrical stimulus.

The 18-day UK leg of the roadshow starts on 23 April in Newcastle, with stops from Scotland to the South Coast including Truckfest Lincoln Showground (4-5 May). Full details of the UK tour is available on Renault Trucks UK socials #TheGoodTruck.
