Renault add the Trafic to its range of battery electric LUVs
- Renault presented the battery electric version of its Trafic, a light utility vehicle (LUV) in the N1-2 segment, which is added to the BEV LUV Renault range made up until now of the Kangoo ZE (N1-1) and Master ZE ( N1-3).
- The range of Renault light utility BEV is now complete and can compete the light utility BEV range of Peugeot, Citroën, Opel and Fiat from the Stellantis group:
1. The Kangoo ZE competes with the Peugeot e-Partner, Citroën e-Berlingo, Opel e-Combo and Fiat e-Doblo.
2. The Trafic ZE competes with the Peugeot e-Expert, Citroën e-Jumpy, Opel e-Vivaro and Fiat e-Scudo.
3. The Master ZE competes with the Peugeot e-Boxer, Citroën e-Jumper, Opel e-Movano and Fiat e-Ducato.
- Models based on the Renault Trafic such as the Nissan Primastar or the Mitsubishi Express should soon receive the same electric motorization as the Renault Trafic, just as the Renault Kangoo clones (Mercedes Citan / T Class and Nissan Townstar) have received the same electric engine.
