Renault puts EV light commercial to the test

Renault is unveiling its latest electric light commercial vehicle at the Viva Technology fair in Paris next month.

The Renault EZ-Flex is an experimental concept designed for last-mile delivery and will be on show at the event from May 16 to 18.

The fully electric vehicle is being put to the test in Europe by 12 customers to collect relevant data in order to better understand their needs with daily delivery in urban areas. The testing will take place over two years.

The EZ-Flex offers a range of 150km and is adapted to the needs of urban delivery where drivers average 50km per day.

It provides a handy load space measuring 3.86m in length, 1.65m in width and 1.88m in height. It’s small enough to enable access to car parks.

Its three cubic metres of load capacity is made possible by a compact cockpit which still offers a full range of assets for a light commercial vehcile. The 4.5m turning circle provides excellent manoeuvrability in city centres.

Loading height is 760mm above ground and openings offer easy access to the entire loading surface.
