Renault has opened pre-orders for its new Trafic E-Tech electric van in the United Kingdom, with prices starting at £38,000 excluding VAT. The first customer deliveries are scheduled for the second quarter of 2027.
First presented in November 2025, the new generation Trafic E-Tech is Renault’s first model to use an 800-volt electrical architecture. It is also the company’s first software-defined vehicle, allowing functions and applications to be updated or added through over-the-air software updates.
Two Battery Options and Multiple Configurations
The electric van is built on a dedicated battery-electric platform and offers up to 5.8 cubic metres of cargo space, a maximum payload of 1.3 tonnes and towing capacity of up to two tonnes.
The UK range starts with the L1H1 panel van in Advance trim, equipped with a 60 kWh battery. Pricing for this version begins at £38,000 excluding VAT.
An 81 kWh long-range battery option starts at £43,000. Customers can choose between two body lengths, two trim levels and crew van configurations.
At the top of the range, the L2H1 long-range Extra Crew version is priced at £53,715 on the road.
Renault quotes a WLTP combined driving range of up to 292 miles for the 81 kWh version, while the 60 kWh battery is intended primarily for urban operations.
The company said the two battery options are designed to accommodate different commercial requirements, from local deliveries to longer journeys between jobs.
Eligible for UK Electric Van Grant
All Trafic E-Tech versions are eligible for the UK’s Zero Emission Van Grant, which provides support of up to £5,000 for qualifying electric vans.
The vehicle will be manufactured at Renault’s Sandouville plant in France. Its electric skateboard platform is designed to maximise cargo capacity while maintaining relatively compact external dimensions.
With the UK order books now open, Renault is preparing the commercial launch ahead of the first deliveries planned for 2027.
