Leading the charge

Several factors can impact the electric trucks consumption and therefore its range:

 

• SPEED
With an electric truck, your speed strongly impacts the vehicle’s range. 


• TOPOGRAPHY
Depending on the driving circumstances, uphill, flat or downhill, your truck recovers or consumes more or less electricity.


• WEATHER CONDITIONS
Using heating and air conditioning while driving impacts the vehicle’s energy consumption.


• TRANSPORTED LOAD
The vehicle’s application and the load transported affects your driving range. The more load you carry, the more energy you need.


• DRIVING STYLE
Your driving style has an important impact on the truck’s energy consumption!

 

 

 

OUR BATTERIES

 

The batteries, which are controlled by Battery Management System (BSM), consist of several modules which contain cells.

 

 

High energy density NMC (Nickel Manganese Cadmium) Lithium-ion cells provide the best trade-off between operating range and payload. Many components are developed in-house or by our partner and have already been proven successful in the field.

 

 

 

We rely on a sustainable value chain through supply chain audits with suppliers, right back to the cobalt mines. Batteries are assembled in Europe. Vehicles are assembled in France.

 

 

 

Recycling is key to a sustainable eco-system and Renault Trucks and Volvo Group are fully committed in this area. When batteries are returned, Renault Trucks is responsible for the recycling of them. There are a number of ways batteries can be repurposed to give them a second life.

 

Easy to charge everywhere

 

Renault Trucks innovates by offering sustainable solutions ideal for urban activities thanks to easy and fast charging.
