The Renault Trafic has been a staple in the mid-size van market since its debut in 1980, with more than 2.5 million units sold. The upcoming fourth-generation model will be the first Trafic to be offered solely as an electric van, replacing the Trafic E-Tech Electric, which only launched in 2023
Built on a skateboard-style platform, the new Trafic will feature:
A fully integrated battery, optimizing space and reducing the need for additional structural support.
A short front and rear overhang, enhancing maneuverability in urban environments.
A 1.9m height, allowing access to underground car parks.
An estimated 250-mile range, with some versions reaching up to 280 miles
The Trafic’s long wheelbase and wheels positioned at the corners improve interior space and cargo capacity while maintaining a tight turning circle, similar to a Renault Clio
Renault Estafette: A High-Roof Urban Delivery Van

The Renault Estafette E-Tech revives a name from the 1960s, designed as a tall, spacious delivery van optimized for urban logistics. It was previewed at the 2024 IAA Commercial Vehicle Show, and the production version remains close to the original concept
Key features include:
Height of 2.6m, allowing a 1.9m-tall driver to stand upright inside.
A length of 5.27m and width of 1.92m, making it narrower than the current Trafic but longer than the short-wheelbase version.
A single-piece rear roller door and sliding side doors, enhancing ease of access for deliveries.
Panoramic front windscreen, improving visibility in city driving
Renault aims for the Estafette to be a practical choice for last-mile delivery companies, with a layout that allows drivers to move between the cabin and cargo area without exiting the vehicle
Renault Goelette: A Flexible Platform for Conversions

The Renault Goelette E-Tech is inspired by another historic Renault model, originally launched in the 1950s. This new version is designed to be highly customizable, catering to businesses that require specialist vehicle conversions
Three initial body styles will be available:
- Chassis cab
- Tipper truck
- Box van
The rear section is modular, allowing for a wide range of conversions, including refrigerated units and specialized cargo solutions
Charging and Performance Expectations
While Renault has not disclosed full powertrain details, Flexis has provided initial estimates:
Up to 280 miles of WLTP range, depending on model configuration.
Fast charging to 80% in under 20 minutes, making them practical for fleet operations
Pricing and Availability
Renault has yet to confirm pricing for the Trafic, Estafette, and Goelette E-Tech, but more details are expected in spring 2025. Production will take place at the Sandouville plant in France, with sales beginning in 2026
Renault’s new electric van range represents a shift toward electrified commercial vehicles, offering a mix of urban-friendly delivery options and flexible conversion-ready models. While details on battery capacity and pricing are still forthcoming, the new lineup is expected to compete with upcoming electric vans from rivals while meeting the growing demand for zero-emission commercial transport
