Renault Trucks unveiled the models of its heavy-duty fully-electric range. The Renault Trucks E-Tech T and C, the first to bear the automaker’s new logo, will be produced in series at the Renault Trucks factory in Bourg-en-Bresse from next year.
According to the company, the arrival of Renault Trucks’ fully-electric heavy-duty range marks a significant step forward in the automaker’s commitment to decarbonizing road freight transport.
Currently, Renault Trucks is the only company to provide an electric mobility offer for all uses: from a 650 kg cargo bike to a 44 t electric tractor and construction truck, the design of which it is now unveiling, as per the press release.
A balanced and measured evolution in design
These new models, built for regional distribution and construction, have a specific design for their electric motorization. Designers of Renault Trucks introduced changes to the front end while maintaining perfect overall harmony.
Notably, the Renault Trucks E-Tech T and C have the trademark graphic signature of the brand’s electric trucks: blue hubcaps and vertical stripes on the vehicle’s sides and the Renault Trucks E-Tech badge at the front. In addition, they are fitted with a new Emblem plate in blue plexiglass.
The front of the vehicles has been brought forward by 115 mm, and radars were put on the sides to increase safety. The chassis also comes with a retractable step which maximizes the space dedicated to the batteries.
As for the completely revised front panel, the designers have gotten their inspiration from the world of electronic music with a pattern mindful of an equalizer. To strengthen this electromechanical effect, the front of the vehicles is completely painted.
Furthermore, the Renault Trucks E-Tech T and C display the brand’s new logo with updated features. The brushed aluminium diamond on a shiny black background gives the vehicle a modern and sophisticated look placed on the front panel.
New visual identity shows commitment to decarbonization
The change in Renault Trucks’ visual identity, represented by a resolutely modern monochrome logo, presents the French manufacturer’s acceleration and commitment to transport decarbonization.
Renault Trucks is determined to meet the climate challenge by steadily developing ever cleaner, safer, and more circular transport solutions to accompany its consumers on their way to carbon neutrality.
The Renault Trucks E-Tech T and C are available for pre-order from Renault Trucks subsidiaries in Europe. Hauliers wishing to buy an EV from the heavy-duty range could reserve the first manufacturing slots. Production of the two Renault Trucks models is due to begin at the end of next year in Bourg-en-Bresse, France.
