Renault Trucks unveiled today a whole lineup of its next-generation all-electric trucks which should hit the market as soon as next year, according to the company.
The vehicles are aimed at urban applications with capacities between 3.5 to 26 tonnes.
Electric trucks are rapidly coming to take market share of city transport services.
Volvo already announced that it is bringing electric trucks to the road this year, Daimler is already delivering all-electric trucks in Europe and in the US, and of course, Tesla’s highly publicized semi truck program is progressing.
Renault Trucks, which is not to be confused with Renault, the maker of the Zoe electric car and part of the Renault-Nissan alliance, is also entering the space in a big way.
Even though Renault Trucks and Renault share a name and logo, Renault Trucks is actually owned by the Volvo Group, which has its own electric truck programs, but it will help Renault Trucks with its electrification effort.
