​Bakery brand Warburtons is introducing the first Renault Trucks D Z.E. 16t. Equipped with box body with rear side door and tail lift by PPS Commercials, this distribution model will join Warburtons secondary bread fleet carrying around six tonnes of bread and bakery products to multiple locations around London using only battery power.

Water and waste processing company SUEZ has purchased the first fully electric Renault Trucks D Wide Z.E. 26t refuse vehicle to the UK, the brand’s heaviest full-electric vehicle. SUEZ will use the D Wide Z.E. to collect commercial waste from Bristol city centre locations for processing at the company’s recycling and reprocessing site.

Both the D Z.E. for Warburtons and the D Wide Z.E. for SUEZ are planned to begin operations later in 2020. No more information was available before the vehicles entered service.

Renault Trucks D and D Wide Z.E. are produced at the manufacturer’s plant in Blainville-sur-Orne (Calvados, France).
