Following its presentation at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover, the new Renault Trafic E-Tech electric is now available for pre-order in the UK. Prices start at £38,000 excluding VAT, with two battery options, up to 470 km of WLTP range and first deliveries scheduled for the second quarter of 2027.
Renault has opened UK pre-orders for the new Trafic E-Tech electric, marking an important step towards the commercial introduction of its next-generation electric van. Orders opened on November 5, following the vehicle’s detailed presentation at IAA Transportation in Hanover in September.
The UK is among the first European markets to announce pre-orders for the new model, with prices starting at £38,000 excluding VAT for the entry-level Advance panel van equipped with the 60 kWh battery. First customer deliveries are expected in the second quarter of 2027.
Manufactured at Renault’s Sandouville plant in France, the new Trafic E-Tech electric is based on a dedicated electric platform and introduces the manufacturer’s first software-defined vehicle (SDV) architecture, allowing functions and applications to be updated or added remotely throughout the vehicle’s operating life.
Two battery options and 800V fast charging
The UK range includes two battery configurations: a 60 kWh urban-range version, offering up to 217 miles (349 km) of WLTP range, and an 81 kWh long-range version, capable of covering up to 292 miles (470 km).
Both are powered by a 160 kW electric motor delivering 355 Nm of torque. The 800V electrical architecture supports high-power DC charging, with the long-range version capable of reaching 80% battery capacity in approximately 20 minutes under suitable conditions.
The new Trafic E-Tech electric is available in two body lengths, with 5.1 to 5.8 m³ of cargo volume, a maximum payload of 1.3 tonnes and a towing capacity of up to 2 tonnes.
The UK line-up includes panel van and crew van configurations, with Advance and Extra trim levels. Prices for the 81 kWh long-range version start at £43,000 excluding VAT. Alongside its electric powertrain, the new Trafic introduces connected services and vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality, allowing operators to power electrical equipment directly from the vehicle’s battery.
