THE ALL NEW RENAULT KANGOO E-TECH 100% ELECTRIC: FOR THOSE WHO NEVER STOP
MORE THAN A DECADE OF ELECTRIC LCV EXPERIENCE MAKES THE ALL NEW KANGOO E-TECH RENAULT’S MOST ADVANCED ELECTRIC VAN TO DATE.
A glance at the SMMT’s figures will tell you where electric vans are heading. Registrations of all-electric models rose by more than 30% last year, and the trend has continued throughout 2023. Blue chip fleets, sole traders and everyone in between are clearly gravitating to the perks of plug-in LCVs.
E-LCV EXPERIENCE
Renault has long been involved with electric commercial vehicles. The manufacturer began experimenting with the concept as early as 1985, when it developed an EV version of the Renault Express, powered by nickel-zinc batteries. Things really kicked off in 2011 with the arrival of the Kangoo ZE – Renault’s first production electric van. The Maubeuge factory in northern France has since produced
more than 90,000 electric Kangoos, and the manufacturer continues to broaden its range of plug-in LCVs.
The culmination of those efforts is the all new Renault Kangoo E-Tech 100% electric, Renault’s most advanced electric van to date. Completely new from the ground up, the Kangoo E-Tech represents a leap forward in electric van design. It has already made a huge splash in the UK LCV segment, bagging a plethora of prestigious awards and recognitions.
AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS “Immediate electric power delivery helps the van feel sprightly around town and the increased motor power means strong acceleration continues up to A-road speeds. Refinement is excellent, with a quieter
powertrain… [and] ride quality is also impressive, with the van’s suspension having no trouble absorbing ruts and pock marks on urban roads. As for driving dynamics, the steering is accurate, and usefully light around town before weighting up nicely at higher speeds and the van is a willing handler, feeling well planted to the road and responding nicely to inputs in bends.” That’s what we at What Van? said when the Kangoo picked up the Compact Van of the Year Gong in the 2023 awards – and we weren’t alone. Publications including What Car?, Company Car and Van, Business Motoring, Van Fleet World, and Auto Express have also piled on the praise in testament to the model’s innovative technology and highly practical cabin and load bay.
