Electric trucks: range and autonomy

What kind of range do electric trucks deliver? Where can I find a charging station? How long does it take to recharge the batteries? Renault Trucks answers all your questions so you can make the right choice and switch to electricity with confidence.

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

WHAT’S IN A BATTERY? Cells are packed in modules, which are packed in batteries which are controlled by Battery Management System (BMS)

Picto Renault Trucks electric trucks autonomy

High energy density thanks to NMC (Nickel Manganese Cadmium) Lithium-ion cells, providing the best trade-off between operating range and payload.

Many components are already successful on the field as they are developed in-house or with our Partner.

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.
