Renault Trucks E-Tech D14: the new electric asset for city centres

Renault Trucks is expanding its electric range with the Renault Trucks E-Tech D14, a 14-tonne vehicle designed for city-centre distribution rounds. Compact and agile, it joins the electric medium-duty range developed by Renault Trucks, which now provides solutions fit for all urban applications, from 14 to 28 tonnes.

• An electric truck built for the heart of the city

With a 2.39-metre-wide chassis, a 3.8-metre wheelbase and a turning radius under 7.3 metres, the Renault Trucks E-Tech D14 is the most compact and manoeuvrable vehicle in the manufacturer’s electric range. It stands out as the ideal solution for deliveries in dense urban environments where space is limited. Its low load bed height makes it easier to perform repeated tasks, whether they involve dry or refrigerated goods distribution.  With a payload of 6.7 tonnes, it achieves an excellent trade-off between carrying capacity and agility.

Finally, the Renault Trucks E-Tech D14 is the only truck in its category to feature full air suspension, both at the front and rear, providing optimal driving comfort in urban environments.

• Range to meet the city's needs and simplified charging

Fitted with four LFP batteries providing a combined capacity of 176 kWh, the Renault Trucks E-Tech D14 offers a range of up to 220 km on a single charge, comfortably covering the needs of a full day’s distribution work in town. It is also the only 14-tonne vehicle to feature a 43 kW AC on-board charger, to enable charging at alternating-current stations, which are widely available and easy to install.

• Connected services to optimise operations

The Renault Trucks E-Tech D14 is paired with a set of connected services designed to make operators’ day-to-day work easier.

Drivers and fleet managers can remotely monitor charging data using the Driver App and plan their routes with the Optifleet Mission module, which come as standard. With the optional module Optifleet Charge, they can remotely control battery charging status and optimise charging cycles to maximise vehicle availability.

Going a step further, the Serenity Pack – a specific electromobility contract – provides enhanced tracking and personalised assistance by Renault Trucks experts during the first year of operation, to guarantee optimal use of the electric truck.

Finally, the Renault Trucks E-Tech Programme consultancy service provides transport operators with access to electromobility experts and advanced tools (fleet and route analysis, site energy capacity assessment, range and CO₂ savings simulations, etc.) to build a bespoke decarbonisation strategy.

The Renault Trucks E-Tech D14 is available to order and is produced at the plant in Blainville-sur-Orne, France – a European leader in electric truck manufacturing. With this new model, the Renault Trucks electric distribution range is now available in 14, 16, 18 and 28 tonnes. It is part of a comprehensive electromobility solution offering that ranges from 3.5-tonne to 44-tonne.
