LONDON: The production version of the new Renault Trafic Van E-Tech electric will make its UK debut at the Commercial Vehicle Show 2026 (April 21 - 23) at the NEC Birmingham.
Following its global premiere in concept form at last year’s Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham, the new-generation Trafic returns to the NEC in finished production form.
Built on a dedicated skateboard platform and featuring 800V fast-charging technology, the new Trafic E-Tech will be the first Renault Software Defined Vehicle (SDV).
SDV technology lets the vehicle improve over time through software updates.
The Trafic E-Tech electric offers load volumes of up to 5,800 litres, a payload of up to 1.25 tonnes and a towing capacity of two tonnes.
Overall height is limited to 1.90m, ensuring easy access to underground car parks, while a tight 10.3-metre turning circle enhances manoeuvrability.
Two battery options will be available.
A long-range NMC battery delivers up to 450km (WLTP), while an urban-range LFP battery, available at a later date, offers up to 350km (WLTP) and uses no rare metals such as cobalt or nickel.
With its 800V electrical architecture, the Trafic E-Tech electric can charge from 15% to 80% in 20 minutes at a DC fast charger, recovering up to 260km of range.
The new OpenR multimedia system with a 12-inch central screen includes navigation tailored specifically for commercial vehicles.
Google built-in services will also be available.
Vehicle-to-Load and Vehicle-to-Grid functionality further enhance its versatility, enabling the van to power external tools and equipment or feed energy back to the grid when required.
In addition to the van version, the Trafic E-Tech electric will also be available in chassis versions.
The Trafic Van E-Tech Electric will be built in France at the Renault Group plant in Sandouville.
