SHERIDAN, WYOMING – Feb. 10, 2025 – Renault is set to redefine the electric light commercial vehicle (LCV) market with its upcoming range of vans: Estafette, Goelette, and Trafic. These E-Tech 100% electric vehicles, slated for launch in 2026, will cater to a diverse range of business needs, showcasing Renault's commitment to sustainable transportation solutions.
A New Era of Electric LCVs
This new generation of electric vans is the result of a collaborative effort with Flexis, an independent company founded by Renault Group, Volvo Group, and CMA CGM Group. Built on a new "skateboard" platform and SDV (Software Defined Vehicle) architecture, these vans offer flexibility, adaptability, and intelligent design.
The SDV architecture allows for a high level of customization, ensuring that each vehicle can be tailored to specific customer needs. This innovative approach not only optimizes functionality but also reduces running costs while maintaining safety and performance.
