UK customers can now place pre-orders for the new Trafic E-Tech electric van, according to electrive. The industry publication reported the opening on November 9 and said first customer deliveries are scheduled for the second quarter of 2027.
New electric van targets business fleets
The UK range starts at 38,000 GBP before value-added tax for the L1H1 panel van in Advance trim with a 60 kWh battery. An 81 kWh long-range version starts at 43,000 GBP, while the top-end L2H1 long-range Extra crew van is priced at 53,715 GBP on the road. All versions are eligible for the UK's 5,000 GBP Zero Emission Van Grant, according to the report.
Renault says the 60 kWh battery is designed for urban work, while the 81 kWh version delivers up to 292 miles on the WLTP combined cycle. The van offers two body lengths, panel and crew van configurations, and up to 5.8 cubic metres of load space. Payload reaches 1.3 tonnes and towing capacity two tonnes.
The Trafic E-Tech is Renault's first model with an 800-volt electrical architecture and its first software-defined vehicle, the report said. Over-the-air updates can add or update functions during the vehicle's working life. Production is planned at Renault's Sandouville plant in France.
For investors, the pre-order opening gives Renault another electric product aimed at professional fleets, but commercial success will depend on customer uptake, pricing and delivery execution. The planned 2027 launch means the immediate financial contribution remains ahead of the first deliveries.
