Renault Trucks: Electric trucks specifically for refrigerated transport
The vehicle manufacturer Renault Trucks is expanding its range of electrically powered distribution trucks. The aim is to meet the different requirements in urban operations. As part of the measure, the "Renault Trucks D Z.E." with 16 tons GVW and the "Renault Trucks D Wide Z.E." with 26 tons GVW will be supplemented by the "Renault Trucks D Wide Z.E." with 19 tons. The 16-ton and 26-ton vehicles have been in series production since the beginning of 2020. The new 19-ton vehicle is manufactured at the Renault Trucks plant in Blainville-sur-Orne (Calvados/France). The 16-ton D Z.E. and the 26-ton D Wide Z.E. are also produced there.
Renault Trucks D Wide Z.E. designates the new 19-tonner with optimized payload and agile two-axle chassis as the ideal vehicle for temperature-controlled distribution transport. In addition, a new system has been developed to increase the energy efficiency of electric trucks with refrigeration units. The Renault Trucks D and D Wide Z.E. can now be equipped with the “Refrigerated Box Connection” option. This allows the energy needed for the refrigeration system to be drawn directly from the vehicle's 600V drive batteries. To improve maneuverability, Renault Trucks has extended the wheelbases of its D and D Wide Z.E. from 3,900 mm to 6,800 mm. This allows more application areas and associated requirements to be covered through optimal load distribution.
