Renault Trucks has announced it will launch a range of electric vehicles in 2019, with designs based on the experience it has gleaned from 10 years of testing electric trucks in real-life conditions with its customers.
The French manufacturer said its all-electric trucks are designed for use in urban and semi-urban areas, and that electromobility is the cornerstone of its strategy for sustainable urban transport.
Zero-emission vehicles help improve air quality, curb climate change and also reduce congestion thanks to noise-free out-of-hours deliveries, it argued.
According to Renault, electric trucks will be “simply indispensable” for city centre access in the near future.
