Renault Trucks to offer electric range for each market segment from 2023
By Jim Gibbins - 29th April 2021
France - Renault Trucks SAS of Lyon, France, a Volvo Group subsidiary, is planning to offer electric trucks in each market segment from 2023 – covering distribution, construction and long distance. To support these developments and be able to offer a complete and competitive Renault Trucks range on the market, the company is setting up an organisation dedicated to electric mobility.
To help meet the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared with pre-industrial levels, Renault Trucks is committed to playing its role by transforming the truck market by gradually electrifying its truck range to become carbon-neutral within 30 years (2050). As trucks have a lifespan of at least ten years, all trucks manufactured by 2040 must run without fossil fuels. Battery-electric and fuel cell electric power are considered crucial to achieve this major transformation towards carbon-free transport.
