Renault first presented the production version of the new Trafic E-Tech in November 2025. The van is the first Renault model to use an 800-volt electrical architecture and is also the company’s first software-defined vehicle, allowing functions and applications to be updated or added wirelessly throughout its life.
The new generation E-Tech is built around a specific electric platform and offers up to 5.8 cubic meters of cargo space, a payload of up to 1.3 tonnes and a towing capacity of two tonnes. As electrive reported then: the new van is based on a purely electric skateboard platform and should therefore offer an “optimal ratio between load capacity and space needs”, according to Renault. Production will take place at the Renault plant in Sandouville, France.
UK customers can now order the new E-Tech at a starting price of £38,000 (excl. VAT). This price applies to the L1H1 van in the Advance version with a 60 kWh battery. The UK range also includes an 81kWh Long Range option starting at £43,000, as well as two body lengths, two trim levels and dual van configurations; At the top end, customers can expect to pay £53,715 OTR for the L2H1 Long Range Extra Crew version. All versions are said to be eligible for the UK’s £5,000 zero-emission van grant.
In an announcement, Renault said: “Whether making city deliveries or covering longer distances between jobs, the electric Trafic E-Tech offers a variety of batteries to suit the workload. The 60 kWh version is designed for urban trips, while the 81 kWh long-range battery offers up to 292 miles on the WLTP combined cycle.”
