A steadily growing lineup of electric vehicles

Also featured at IAA TRANSPORTATION 2026 is the Renault Trucks E-Tech T 780—the new model for long-haul transport. With a range of 410 miles (660 km), designed to enable standard daily operations without mid-trip charging, it opens up new possibilities for electrifying long-haul shipping. This extended range is driven by a new architecture featuring an integrated electric axle, which consolidates the main powertrain components at the rear of the vehicle to free up space for increased battery capacity.

The premium models of the electric fleet are also represented by the Renault Trucks E-Tech T 540. Developed for regional haul, this truck now achieves a range of 280 miles (450 km) on a single charge.

The manufacturer will also showcase the Renault Trucks E-Tech D14T. This highly compact vehicle is designed for urban transport. As the latest electric model for distribution, it easily navigates tight inner-city access and maneuvering. With its narrow width and a turning radius of under 24 feet (7.3 m), it is one of the most agile electric trucks in its class.

A dedicated area for light commercial vehicles

Renault Trucks is dedicating a portion of its booth to its transport lineup, showcasing two electric models:

The Renault Trucks E-Tech Master Offroad: Designed for light construction work, this electric commercial vehicle combines zero-emission mobility with off-road capability. Available exclusively from Renault Trucks, this off-road version stands out with increased ground clearance and specialized features that make job site access easier.

A next-generation electric commercial vehicle: Developed as part of Flexis, this vehicle is based on a modular "skateboard" platform and a software-defined vehicle (SDV) architecture.

Select models will also be available for test drives in the dedicated outdoor area of the exhibition halls. Additionally, other Renault Trucks vehicles can be seen at the booths of the manufacturer's bodybuilder partners, including the Renault Trucks E-Tech Master with a tipper body at Meiller, the Renault Trucks E-Tech D 16T with a curtainsider and lifting roof at Junge, and the Renault Trucks Master with a dry box body at Humbaur.
