Renault presents its vision of a next-generation electric van: 65 years after the Renault Estafette revolutionized the world of vans, the French manufacturer is previewing a new electric commercial vehicle tailored to the changing needs of commercial users in cities and urban areas. The Estafette Concept is based on the new FlexEVan platform developed by Renault in collaboration with its joint venture partners at Flexis. The specifications took into account the requirements and feedback from professionals in order to achieve the two main objectives: driver and goods safety and fast loading and unloading.
“The vision of Renault Group and its partners, Volvo Group and CMA CGM Group, is to revolutionize urban logistics and make operations more sustainable and safer, more compatible for the city and friendlier for drivers,” says Philippe Divry, CEO of Flexis SAS. “We are very much looking forward to bringing this vision to life. The Estafette Concept is the first example of what electric commercial vehicles will look like in the future: specially developed for use in cities, compact, connected and tailored to the needs of sustainable delivery services.”
