Renault has decided that the future of light commercial vehicles (LCVs) should be quieter, cleaner, and significantly less smelly than the diesel-chugging machines of yesteryear. Enter the Estafette, Goelette, and Trafic—three electric LCVs built to haul, hustle, and handle business without a single tailpipe puff. These aren't just workhorses; they’re eco-conscious, power-packed, and designed to make deliveries, logistics, and tradespeople look good while doing it.
Renault’s Electric LCV Trio: Built for Business, Styled for the Future
Renault isn't just dipping a toe into the electric pond; it's doing a cannonball with three new models designed to electrify commercial fleets. Each vehicle combines practicality, modern design, and zero-emission technology to meet the demands of businesses looking to cut fuel costs while keeping operations smooth.
Let’s break them down:
- Renault Estafette E-Tech Electric – A nod to the beloved 1960s van, but now with 100% fewer oil leaks and 100% more battery power.
- Renault Goelette E-Tech Electric – A flexible workhorse ready to adapt to every kind of business, from mobile cafes to full-scale delivery fleets.
- Renault Trafic E-Tech Electric – The perfect blend of urban agility and cargo-hauling might, designed for professionals who need reliability without the gas station stops.
Renault Estafette E-Tech Electric: Retro Looks, Futuristic Functionality
The Estafette E-Tech Electric brings the charm of Renault’s classic 1960s van but updates it with modern tech and zero-emission street cred. This isn’t just nostalgia on wheels—it’s a compact, city-friendly cargo mover with clever design touches that make it perfect for modern delivery needs.
- Size that fits anywhere: At 5.27 meters long and 1.92 meters wide, it’s small enough to squeeze through tight city streets yet spacious enough inside for serious cargo.
- Rooftop Zen: The massive three-piece panoramic windscreen offers visibility so clear that drivers might start enjoying traffic jams (or at least tolerate them).
- No more wrestling with rear doors: A single-piece roller shutter rear door means no more awkwardly swinging out panels in cramped loading zones.
- Easy entry and exit: With running boards on both sides, even the most caffeine-deprived delivery driver can step in and out without tripping.
It’s the perfect van for urban entrepreneurs, artisanal bakers, and anyone tired of trying to parallel park a clunky old gas-guzzler.
Renault Goelette E-Tech Electric: The Swiss Army Knife of LCVs
If the Estafette is Renault’s sleek, retro-inspired city van, the Goelette E-Tech Electric is the ultimate workhorse, built for adaptability. Whether you need a chassis cab, a box truck, or even a tipper, this van is like a LEGO set for businesses—configure it how you want, and it just works.
- Three configurations: Pick between chassis cab, box, or tipper, depending on whether you’re delivering furniture or hauling construction debris.
- Front looks like a spaceship, back is all business: The front styling is inspired by the Trafic E-Tech, while the rear remains modular for customization.
- Tough but stylish: It has grained black lower body protection, because let’s be honest—commercial vans take a beating.
- Optional running board: Because nobody wants to climb into a cargo area like they’re scaling a small mountain.
With its rugged build and mix-and-match options, the Goelette E-Tech Electric is ideal for construction workers, mobile service providers, and logistics teams that need a van as versatile as their business.
Renault Trafic E-Tech Electric: The Business Van That Means Business
Renault’s Trafic has been a staple in the LCV world for years, and now it’s been given an electric overhaul. Think of it as the same dependable, spacious work van but with a powertrain that won’t wake up the neighbors.
- Spacious and urban-friendly: Less than 1.90 meters tall, meaning it can squeeze into underground parking lots where other cargo vans fear to tread.
- A face you won’t forget: Features a backlit Renault logo and 3D rear light signature—because even a cargo van deserves some swagger.
- Built for daily abuse: The grained black lower body protection ensures it stays looking sharp even after a few too many tight turns.
The Trafic E-Tech Electric is perfect for city deliveries, tradespeople, and businesses that need a reliable van that doesn’t run on ancient dinosaur remains.
