With a range of up to 660 km, the Renault Trucks E-Tech T vehicles now cover the vast majority of regional and long-haul freight transport requirements.
Analysis of operating data from 70,000 connected Renault Trucks tractors in Europe over the past two years confirms that 80% of daily missions can be completed by the new Renault Trucks electric tractor range. This figure rises to 90% when a 45-minute fast charge via CCS (350 kW) is carried out during the driver’s mandatory rest break.
“Range has long been perceived as the main obstacle to the electrification of long-haul road transport. Operational data now shows that electric trucks are fully capable of meeting real-world transport requirements,” says Emmanuel Duperray, Senior Vice President of Electromobility at Renault Trucks.
An electric range built on real-world operating experience
At Renault Trucks, long-haul electrification is made possible through improved electric driveline efficiency and a new generation of high energy-density NCA (nickel, cobalt, aluminium) lithium-ion batteries. Renault Trucks has extended the batteries' operating window, enabling up to 95% of their energy capacity to be utilised. As a result, the energy effectively available for propulsion has increased, extending the Renault Trucks E-Tech T's maximum single-charge range to 660 km. (....)
