Three new vehicles have been launched as the result of a collaboration with Flexis, the independent company founded by Renault Group, Volvo Group and CMA CGM Group

The Estafette, Goelette and Trafic E-Tech 100% electric vans have been developed to meet a full range of business requirements.

Building on the new “skateboard” platform and SDV architecture, the compact and adaptable vans offer flexibility, ergonomics and connectivity, with “virtually infinite possibilities for customisation and reduced running costs”, the company said.

The Trafic van, which originally launched in 1980, has a short front overhang and extended wheelbase, with wheels positioned at the corners to maximise interior space while maintaining a turning circle equivalent to that of a Renault Clio. It is less than 1.90m tall for easy access to underground car parks.

A historic Renault LCV from the 1950s, Goelette is designed to meet a wide range of needs, and is available in three versions: chassis cab, box and tipper.

The Estafette E-Tech electric is a contemporary reboot of Renault’s iconic 1960s van, tailored to the demands of modern urban logistics. Just 5.27m long and 1.92m wide, it is a compact vehicle, easy to handle in the city.

It stands 2.60m high, allowing a person up to 1.90m tall to move around the interior easily, between the cockpit and cargo area

This new vehicle range will be built in France, at the Sandouville plant, and is set to arrive on the market from 2026.

Further details will be revealed in the coming months, the company said.
