Renault Trucks unveils the new Renault Trucks E-Tech T 780 with up to 600 km range

Renault Trucks has strengthened its electric heavy-duty portfolio with the launch of the Renault Trucks E-Tech T 780, a new long-range tractor unit capable of travelling up to 600 km on a single charge. Developed in response to the operational realities faced by hauliers across Europe, the E-Tech T 780 is designed to combine extended range, operational flexibility and long-term reliability.

As the transition to zero-emission transport accelerates, operators are seeking electric solutions that do not compromise on performance, uptime or profitability. With this latest addition, Renault Trucks demonstrates that electric heavy-duty transport is not only viable, but increasingly competitive for a wide variety of applications.

A strategic electric line-up built around real-world needs

Renault Trucks has structured its E-Tech T range to reflect the differing priorities of transport operators. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, each model is engineered around a specific operational focus:

Renault Trucks E-Tech T 780 – Focused on maximum range, offering up to 600 km autonomy for longer-haul operations.
Renault Trucks E-Tech T 585 – Optimised for payload, allowing operators to maximise carrying capacity while maintaining electric efficiency.
Renault Trucks E-Tech T 540 4x2 – Designed specifically for regional distribution, where predictable daily routes and depot-based charging are key.

This segmentation allows fleets to precisely match vehicle specification to mission profile. For example, long-distance operators can prioritise the extended autonomy of the T 780, while distribution specialists can benefit from the manoeuvrability and efficiency of the T 540 4x2.

The 600 km capability of the T 780 represents a significant milestone in electric heavy-duty transport, opening the door to new route possibilities that were previously challenging for battery-electric trucks.

Up to 720 kW charging: built for operational efficiency

Charging performance is critical to making electric trucks commercially viable. Renault Trucks addresses this by ensuring its electric tractors are compatible with high-power charging infrastructure.

The T 585 and T 780 models support charging capacities of up to 720 kW, enabling rapid energy replenishment and significantly reduced downtime. For operators running multi-shift operations or tight delivery schedules, this level of charging power helps maintain productivity and vehicle utilisation.

All Renault Trucks E-Tech T tractors are equipped with a standard connector compatible with DC chargers, ensuring interoperability across public and private charging networks. This flexibility is essential as charging infrastructure continues to expand across the UK and Europe.

By designing vehicles ready for both current and future high-power charging systems, Renault Trucks is helping hauliers future-proof their fleets.

Long-term battery security and predictive monitoring

Battery performance is at the heart of electric vehicle ownership. Recognising this, Renault Trucks provides a comprehensive battery guarantee designed to offer reassurance and financial predictability.

For Renault Trucks E-Tech T tractors, the manufacturer guarantees the availability of battery energy for up to:

8 years, or
1 million kilometres, whichever comes first.

This commitment demonstrates confidence in battery durability under demanding heavy-duty conditions.

In addition, battery health monitoring is integrated into the trucks’ predictive maintenance systems. Continuous data analysis enables early detection of potential issues, allowing preventative action before performance is affected. For operators, this means:

Reduced risk of unexpected downtime
Improved fleet planning
Enhanced residual value
Greater transparency over long-term performance

Predictive capabilities also support overall total cost of ownership (TCO) management, a key consideration as businesses transition from diesel to electric fleets.

Supporting hauliers through the energy transition

The launch of the E-Tech T 780 reflects a broader strategic commitment by Renault Trucks to support transport professionals through decarbonisation. Electric heavy-duty vehicles must do more than reduce emissions — they must integrate seamlessly into daily operations.

With a structured model range, high-power charging capability, standardised DC compatibility and long-term battery guarantees, Renault Trucks is addressing the practical concerns of fleet operators:

Route flexibility
Charging accessibility
Payload optimisation
Investment security
Operational continuity

By aligning engineering development with the specific needs of hauliers, the E-Tech T range represents a mature and scalable electric solution.

A new benchmark for electric long-haul transport

The introduction of the Renault Trucks E-Tech T 780 marks an important step in the evolution of zero-emission freight transport. A 600 km range significantly broadens the scope of electric heavy-duty applications, making longer regional and national routes increasingly feasible without compromising operational reliability.

Combined with robust battery guarantees and cutting-edge predictive monitoring, Renault Trucks is positioning its electric tractors not as experimental alternatives, but as dependable workhorses ready for real-world logistics.

As infrastructure expands and technology advances, the Renault Trucks E-Tech T range demonstrates that the future of heavy transport is not only electric — it is practical, powerful and built for the long haul.
