Preparing for the future of urban freight transport together, Renault Trucks and Groupe Delanchy have developed a 13-tonne all-electric truck equipped with a refrigerated box for delivering fresh produce.
The Renault D-range truck is equipped with a Chereau temperature-controlled box and a Carrier refrigeration unit, fully powered by the vehicle's traction batteries: a first on this type of truck.
Although being an experimental vehicle, this 13-tonne electric truck will be used under real operating conditions in Lyon. On a daily basis, it will leave Groupe Delanchy's distribution hub in Corbas, in the suburbs of Lyon, to deliver seafood and fresh produce from Lorient to Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse.
It will supplement the fleet of 700 Renault Trucks operated by the Delanchy group.
The truck was launched at the Solutrans show in Lyon in November.
