Renault Trucks will be releasing a new 52-kWh battery option for its 'Master Z.E.' line of battery-electric vans in Spring 2022.

Renault Trucks is pursuing a sustainability strategy that involves extending the life cycle of trucks through a circular economy of reconditioning, repurposing, and recycling of vehicles and components.

Lamberet showcased a range of sustainably-powered refrigerated trailers and bodies at the Solutrans show in Lyon, France.

The Group reported an increase of 11% in net sales but supply chain issues led to production delays and increased costs.

The news was announced at Freight in the City Expo following a successful trial with the French manufacturer's D ZE series truck at customer Recycling Lives' recyling park.

The 18-tonne version of the D ZE and D Wide ZE series also comes with a fridge-connection option and a wider range of wheelbase options.

As part of its drive towards fossil-free transport by 2040, Renault Trucks SAS is building a new R&D centre near its headquarters in Lyon, France.

Renault Trucks has confirmed it will offer a complete range of electric trucks from 2023, addressing each segment, covering distribution, construction and long distance.

Renault Trucks has opened an adaptation centre at its medium-duty D and D Wide truck plant in Blainville-sur-Orne, Normandy.

Renault Trucks SAS of Lyon, 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.

Renault Trucks SAS has supplied a fully-electric 26 tonne D Wide Z.E to Swiss haulier, Rhyner Logistik, fitted with solar panels on the vehicle body to provide additional ‘green electrical energy’ for the refrigeration unit.

The first of 26, battery-electric D Wide Z.E. trucks from Renault Trucks SAS, have been delivered to Feldschlösschen AG.
