Renault has confirmed UK pricing for the new Trafic E-Tech electric, a significant addition to the medium electric van market. The vehicle is also described as Renault Group’s first software-defined vehicle, putting digital architecture alongside range, charging and carrying ability in the manufacturer’s pitch to fleet buyers.
Renault’s first software-defined vehicle can evolve throughout its working life through over-the-air updates, additional features and customisable applications
Choice of 60kWh urban range and 81kWh long range batteries, with up to 292 miles of WLTP range
800V electrical architecture enables ultra-fast DC charging, with an 80% charge in around 20 minutes
Compact exterior dimensions combined with up to 5.8m³ of load space, up to 1.3-tonne payload and 2-tonne towing capacity
Advanced driver assistance and connected technology as standard, including adaptive cruise control, reversing camera and 12.3 -inch openR evo multimedia system
The new Renault Trafic E-Tech electric is ready for business, with UK pricing for the brand’s first software-defined vehicle starting from £38,000 + VAT.
Built to take on the demands of a full working day, Trafic E-Tech electric combines up to 292 miles of electric range and ultra-fast charging with the load-carrying ability, manoeuvrability and everyday versatility that have made the original Trafic so popular. Furthermore, as Renault’s first software-defined vehicle, it’s designed to keep getting better long after the first owner has taken delivery.
The UK line-up comprises two trim levels – advance and extra – with two body lengths, panel van and crew van configurations, and a choice of 60kWh or 81kWh batteries. Already crowned International Van of the Year 2027, the new Trafic E-Tech electric will be available for pre-order from 5th November.
Trafic E-Tech electric is designed to keep pace as the demands of the owner’s job change. As Renault’s first software-defined vehicle (SDV), it can gain new features and improved functionality throughout its working life, rather than being limited to the technology fitted when it leaves the factory.
But the benefits span far beyond software updates. Its advanced electronic architecture allows businesses to integrate their own applications directly into the vehicle’s systems. Delivery companies, for example, can display schedules, routes and job details on the dashboard, while specialist conversions such as refrigerated vans can use dedicated apps to manage onboard equipment.
The technology also opens the door to more sophisticated remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance, helping operators to avoid downtime. Combined with the ability to continually improve and adapt the vehicle’s functions, it means new Trafic E-Tech electric is designed to work smarter, for longer.
Whether it’s making deliveries across town or covering longer distances between jobs, Trafic E-Tech electric offers a choice of batteries to suit the workload. The 60kWh version is designed for urban journeys, while the 81kWh long range battery delivers up to 292 miles on the WLTP combined cycle.
