The judges praised Renault Trucks’ expertise in electric vehicle development and its delivery of refined, capable and commercially viable zero-emission models.

For the Renault Trucks T High E-Tech, they noted: “Renault Trucks has for many years been at the forefront in the development of electric drivelines... The T High E-Tech presents itself as a highly refined and capable truck using tried and trusted technology. It’s range distance competes with the opposition, and its drivability is second to none. Renault Trucks’ experience in the EV field has produced a complete vehicle…that will work for operators from the first charge.”

Referring to the Renault Trucks Master E-Tech Red Edition as “one of the most striking vehicles on the road”, the judges said: “The Renault Trucks Master E-Tech comes with a particular presence; its strong aerodynamic stance delivers inside and out, and the electric driveline is now well proven. The E-Tech Master has something to offer everyone with an array of options including wheelbases, powertrains and interior trims. It is a refined vehicle capable of tackling any task an operator may set it to.”
