Renault Trucks E-Tech T available with 600km range from 2025

As of 2025, Renault Trucks will open the order books for the Renault E-Tech T with a 600km range. This is the longest range on a single charge available in the electrified Renault lineup. So far, the vehicle has undergone more than 30 million km of testing and operation with real customers, saving around 29,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions compared to diesel. 

The increased range capabilities of the E-Tech T have been achieved using an electric axle (e-axle). It integrates the electric motors and transmission on the rear axle, freeing up space between the side members for additional batteries.

Emmanuel Duperray, senior vice president electromobility at Renault Trucks, said: “The advent of this electric truck will boost the transition to electric mobility. We believe that a range of 600km on a single charge, combined with the development of public charging infrastructure networks by 2026 – in particular through our joint venture Milence – will enable us to achieve the operational parity [with diesel technology] that our customers expect.”

The new long-haul focused E-Tech T will be an addition to Renault’s electrified range. The manufacturer will continue to offer a variety of different configurations to tailor range, equipment and payload to a haulier’s specific requirements. Supporting operators to find the right solution, Renault uses advanced simulation tools to discuss with the customer the right configuration for a new electric truck. 

Duperray said: “We're not looking to enter a race for autonomy on a single charge. Oversized batteries penalise the payload, raise total operating costs and increase the environmental footprint. In essence, an electric truck is more expensive than a combustion vehicle. We need to rethink low-carbon logistics, in other words, reconsider transport patterns to optimise the use of transport vehicles and therefore reduce the cost per kilometre.” 

While this new version will be able to offer a longer range on a single charge, Renault is keen for operators to find a balance between the number of batteries and payload capability to suit their needs. Duperray said: “This approach is already enabling us to achieve daily mileage of over 700km with our series production Renault Trucks E-Tech T.”
