Renault trucks E-Tech T and C available for pre-order

The Renault Trucks E-Tech T and C are available for pre-order from Renault Trucks subsidiaries in Europe. Hauliers wishing to purchase an electric vehicle from the heavy-duty range can reserve the first manufacturing slots. Production of the Renault Trucks E-Tech T and C is due to start at the end of 2023 in Bourg-en-Bresse.

A wide choice of electric motors and batteries

To meet the multiple requirements of regional transport and urban construction activities, the Renault Trucks E-Tech T and C can be ordered with two or three electric motors providing a combined power of up to 490kW.

A wide choice of traction batteries is available, as Renault Trucks E-Tech T and C can be fitted with four to six lithium-ion battery packs with a power output of 390 to 540kWh.

The batteries can be fully recharged up to 43kW by AC, or up to 250kW by DC. These trucks will be able to cover up to 300km on a single charge and up to 500km with a one-hour intermediate fast charge (250kW).

The battery cells and modules will be supplied by Samsung SDI and assembled in Ghent, Belgium, at a plant of the Volvo Group, to which Renault Trucks belongs.

Three types of PTO and a wide range of wheelbases

In order to adapt to any type of bodywork and consequently to any type of use, the Renault Trucks E-Tech T and C can be equipped with three types of power take-off (PTO), electric, electromechanical or on the gearbox.

The Renault Trucks E-Tech T and C, with a total admissible weight of 44 tonnes, can be ordered as 4x2 and 6x2 tractor units, with a sleeper cab and a wheelbase of 3,900mm. In the rigid version, they are available in 4x2, 6x2 and 8x4 tridem, day or sleeper cab versions and a choice of eleven wheelbases, ranging from 3,900 to 6,700mm.

A range of services designed for optimum performance

For trouble-free operation and optimised performance, Renault Trucks E-Tech T and C come with a full range of services. In particular, they can benefit from the Start & Drive Predict predictive maintenance contract, which monitors the condition of the batteries and wear components, prevents unexpected vehicle downtime and allows maintenance operations to be grouped and optimised.

Renault Trucks E-Tech T and C are compatible with Optifleet, a fleet management software package that enables operators to monitor the charge levels of batteries in real time to optimise energy consumption.

The Renault Trucks E-Tech T and C are an integral part of a complete ecosystem for the decarbonisation of transport offered by the manufacturer, which consists of customised support for hauliers in their energy transition, from examining and analysing their needs to monitoring implementation and operations.

This analysis includes the Range Simulator tool, which enables Renault Trucks experts to analyse the vehicle consumption as closely as possible to its real use – taking into account the GPS route, the weather conditions, the payload and use of auxiliaries.
