Renault's Trafic van finally goes electric. Jonathan Crouch takes a look.

Ten Second Review

Renault's mid-sized Trafic van finally adopts full-battery power in this E-Tech electric guise. The brand says this variant 'cuts no corners on its combustion counterpart's strengths' and sure enough, if you can live with the driving range on offer here, the compromises are few if you want a Renault van of this size and are minded to make the switch away from diesel.

Background

One day in the not too distant future, all mid-sized vans will primarily be EVs and will run on proper purpose-designed EV platforms. But not yet. We're currently in a transition period where manufacturers are converting existing combustion-powered designs to offer EV variant alternatives to the usual diesel models. One of the very last class contenders to take this step is Renault's Trafic; which you might think odd given that its brand basically pioneered the electric van market with the very first version of the smaller full-battery Kangoo model, way back in 2011. It took until the end of that decade for Renault to flesh out its EV commercial range, first with the large Master E-Tech and then with the tiny ZOE city van. Only in late 2023 was the line-up fully completed by the Trafic E-Tech electric that we look at here. It's a development well overdue for a Trafic model line that's found over 2.4 million owners over the last 40 years and is still the third best seller in the class across Europe. Let's take a closer look.

Engines and Tech Spec

There's nothing revolutionary about the engineering here. The usual diesel Trafic engine gets replaced by a front-mounted 75hp electric motor powering the front wheels via a single-speed transmission. There's a 52kWh battery pack offering a potential 186 mile range, providing you operate your Trafic E-Tech electric exclusively in its most frugal 'Eco' mode. That rises to 239 miles in the city. In Europe, there's an alternative 'Long Range' model, which offers a longer operating range but has a top speed restriction of 55mph. The standard version of this model we have here offers 210Nm torque, which means a towing capacity of 920kg. There's a conventional hydraulic braking set-up which includes an ARBS ('Adaptive Regenerative Brake System'), there to maximise energy recovery. All of the hardware in use here seems of the well proven sort and all is Gallic in origin. The motor and chargers are made at Renault's plant in Cleon, Normandy, the battery is assembled at Flins and Gretz-Armainvilliers handles vehicle electrification.

Design and Build

Apart from the badge work, the charging flap and the lack of an exhaust pipe, there's nothing visual to set this E-Tech electric variant apart from any other Trafic model. This full-battery version comes with a choice of two body lengths (5.08 and 5.48 metres) and two heights (1.967 and 2.498 metres). Inside, apart from a few instrument binnacle changes, it's pretty much exactly like a diesel-powered Trafic. Which means you get a very practical cabin with up to 88-litres of storage space (19.7-litres in the console, 14.6-litres in the doors and 54-litres in the bench). Plusher trims convert the glovebox to an 'Easylife' drawer with a clever opening system that makes it extra handy for the driver, this receptacle holding a full 6.6-litres. The Trafic Van was the first LCV to come with a 'mobile office' feature that when you fold down the seat in the middle, sees the back of it become a desk (including a notepad storage slot) or a table for meals. This smart piece of equipment has now become a must-have for tradespeople.

Market and Model

Because this E-Tech electric model rolls down the same French Sandoville production line as diesel-engine Trafics, Renault has been able to keep its price premium over the combustion model within reasonable bounds. Expect to pay a very similar amount to that you'd have to find for its two most obvious Gallic Stellantis Group rivals, Peugeot E-Expert and the Citroen e-Dispatch. That'll mean pricing that starts from around £43,000 (inc VAT) after deduction of the £5,000 Government Plug-in Van Grant. there's one trim level - 'Advance' and a choice of short or long wheelbase body styles, the latter with a higher roof option. Like all Trafic models, this one gets Active emergency braking, lane departure warning, driver attention alert, and tyre pressure monitoring. Various other Advanced Driver Assistance Systems are included too, along with a front airbag that protects both passengers. Among the features available are adaptive cruise control, blind spot warning and traffic sign recognition with overspeed alert. Aiding manoeuvres are front, rear and side parking sensors, plus rear parking camera. This Trafic is available with a comprehensive suite of customer finance packages including a 5 Year PRO+ Promise designed to offer a complete peace of mind package for customers. This integrates 5 Years' 0% APR Finance, 5 Years' or 100,000 miles Free Servicing, 5 Years' or 100,000 miles Warranty and 5 Years' Roadside Assistance.

Practicalities and Costs

As usual with an EV van, the loading area size isn't compromised by the EV drivetrain. As with the diesel model, the Trafic E-Tech electric panel van is offered in two lengths. The standard L1 configuration measures 5.08m from stem to stern, with the L2 breaking the tape at 5,48m. Uniquely in segment, there are also two roof heights to choose from. Cargo capacity ranges between 5.8 and 8.9 cubic metres. Loads of up to 4.15 metres in length can be carried in the LWB version thanks to the load-through facility, while there's up to 920kg of towing capacity and a maximum payload of up to 1,222kg. With a lithium-ion battery of 52kWh capacity, the Trafic E-Tech electric can drive for up to 186 miles (WLTP) on a single charge, while rapid DC charging up to 50kW can fully recharge the battery from flat in just an hour. A single-phase 7kW AC charger works with all types of home outlets, while 22kW AC fast charging at public stations provides a 31-mile top-up (WLTP) in less than 25 minutes. A 7.4kW garage wallbox would need 8 hours for a full charge. An 8-year, 100,000-mile battery warranty ensures this level of performance is maintained. The batteries will be replaced free of charge should their state of health drop below 70% of the nominal level. Lastly, via the MyRenault smartphone app or Renault Easy Link multimedia system (which comes as standard with all trims), the Trafic Van E-Tech electric provides several specific services including scheduled battery charging and remote battery status monitoring, scheduled cab pre-heating, advice on charging points on your route and a list of destinations you can reach with the battery's remaining range.

Summary

Under development, Renault will have an all-new next-generation Trafic E-Tech electric van that's much more sophisticated than this. But it will be a pricier thing that perhaps the market's not quite yet ready for, so for the time being, this initial full-battery offering to Trafic customers may be exactly what's required. These people though, are going to have to be able to ignore the fact that the EV mileage range of this E-Tech is some way off that of the class-leading Ford E-Transit Custom. Still, this Renault is pretty much on a par with most of the rest of its class competitors in this regard and in any case, if you're going to be using this van primarily for urban deliveries, ultimate range may not matter too much. For such a customer, the 'Long Range' version of this Trafic may be ideal. In summary, it's taken a long time for Renault to complete its EV commercial range but now that it has, this electric Trafic needs to be factored into your buying decision if you're browsing in this segment.
