Renault has introduced an electric version of its Trafic medium-sized van.

The new E-Tech model is available from £34,500 (ex VAT), when including the Government's plug-in van grant.

The vehicle will also be available from Renault Trucks.

Renault offers the Trafic E-Tech panel van in three configurations (L1H1, L2H1, L2H2), with load volumes ranging from 5.8 to 8.9 cubic metres.

The L2 version offers a load length of up to 4.15m and the H2 version is sufficient to stand upright in the load area.

The vehicle is powered by a new 120hp electric motor and has a towing capacity of 920Kg. It has a 52kWh battery pack, giving a WLTP range of 186 miles.
