Renault is launching a full-electric version of its midsize Trafic van, giving the company a full range of electric vans to match its competitor Stellantis.
The Trafic will have a 52-kilowatt-hour battery with a range of 240 km (150 miles). A 90-kilowatt electric motor allows a payload of 1.1 tons and a towing capacity of 750 kg. Renault will show the Trafic Van E-Tech Electric at the IAA commercial vehicle show in Hanover, Germany, which opens to the public on Tuesday.
It joins the compact Kangoo and large Master, which have had battery-electric versions since 2010 and 2017, respectively, in Renault’s commercial van lineup.
Renault did not release detailed specifications or pricing for the electric Trafic. Medium-size electric vans from Stellantis brands Citroen, Fiat, Opel and Peugeot have two battery sizes – a 50 kWh with a range of 230 km and a 75 kWh with a range of 330 km.
Stellantis electric vans are also available in passenger versions. Renault did not say if the Trafic’s passenger version, known as the Combi, would have an electric variant.
