Renault has announced UK specs and prices for its new electric medium van, the Trafic E-Tech.
The model will be available with a choice of two vehicle lengths (5.08m and 5.48m) and two heights (1.967m and 2.498m), with load spaces ranging from 5.8m3 to 8.9m3 – the long version can accommodate loads up to 4.15m in length thanks to a load-through facility.

The maximum speed of the van is 68mph.
The Trafic E-Tech is coming to the UK with a single Advance trim level option. This features standard equipment such as an 8in infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto connectivity, a 7in driver display, air conditioning, a ‘mobile office’ with folding middle passenger seat, full LED headlights, heated electrically-adjustable door mirrors, rear parking sensors, cruise control with speed limiter, intelligent speed assist, active emergency braking, tyre pressure warning, lane departure warning, driver attention alert, and drowsiness warning.
