Renault Trucks has unveiled new versions of the Renault Trucks E-Tech T: the Renault Trucks E-Tech T 585 and the Renault Trucks E-Tech T 780, which can travel up to 600 km on a single charge.
Designed to meet hauliers’ specific needs, the Renault Trucks E-Tech T 780 is focused on range and the Renault Trucks E-Tech T 585 on payload, while the Renault Trucks E-Tech T 540 4×2 remains dedicated to regional distribution.
Innovative technology for improved performance
The increased range of the Renault Trucks E-Tech T780 and T585 has been achieved by integrating an electric axle. The E-axle enables all parts of the powertrain – electric motors and transmission – to be grouped together at the vehicle’s rear. This architecture frees up space between the side members to accommodate additional battery packs.
These new models are fitted with high-energy-density NCA (Nickel, Cobalt, Aluminium) lithium-ion batteries, with a specific L-shape design to fit neatly in the new layout. Renault Trucks guarantees their performance up to 8 years or 1 million kilometres.
The Renault Trucks E-Tech T 585, which carries 585 kWh of battery capacity, can travel up to 460 km on a single charge, while offering the highest payload in this vehicle range.
With 780 kWh of capacity, the Renault Trucks E-Tech T 780 achieves a range of 600 km and is designed for hauliers looking above all for maximum range.
To get the most out of stops, both models are compatible with charging stations equipped with the ultra-fast Megawatt Charging System (MCS), up to 720 kW. These stations can provide up to 350 km of range in a 45-minute driver’s rest break. They can also be charged at a depot using the standard CCS (up to 350 kW).
Alongside these developments, Renault Trucks is upgrading its current model, the Renault Trucks E-Tech T 540 4×2, which will now be able to travel up to 450 km on a single charge.
