Towards low-carbon transport
DECARBONISING FREIGHT TRANSPORT... AND FAST!
More than 75% of the goods we need to feed ourselves or treat ourselves are transported by road.But while road transport remains essential, 97% of trucks run on diesel, contributing 6% of Europe's total carbon footprint. As truck manufacturers, we need to fundamentally rethink our approach.
That's why, at Renault Trucks, we're questioning our own business model: we're saying that the truck, and the new truck at that, must no longer be the only solution.
In concrete terms, this awareness is reflected in the reconditioning and regenerating of trucks after their first life and in the pooling of our expertise with all the players in the logistics sector to transport in a different way. With them, we optimise the filling of trucks and pool flows and routes, we support multimodal transport and develop mobile container solutions to facilitate urban deliveries.
This is why, at Renault Trucks, we offer transport solutions only if they contribute to decarbonisation.
We are constantly reducing the fuel consumption of our diesel trucks and have made them compatible with biofuels and synthetic fuels.
Above all, we are carrying out R&D work that began 20 years ago and which today enables us to offer the widest range of electric vehicles in Europe, from cargo bikes to 44 tonnes. This historic transition is underway in our 1,400 sales and service points.
By 2030, every second truck sold by Renault Trucks will be electric.
By 2040, 100% of our trucks sold will no longer use a drop of fossil fuel.
Discover The Good City
What if the zero-emission city already existed? Renault Trucks presents The Good City , an interactive town that reflects the increasing electrification of transport.

Why they are so serene?
“Range anxiety” even has its own Wikipedia page! The expression describes the fear, among electric car drivers, of running out of battery before reaching their destination. But what about transport operators and drivers who use our trucks? The comparison seems obvious. And yet, our customers do not experience this concern. So why are they so serene?
Because they know they are supported throughout every stage of their transport decarbonisation journey.
First, we carry out a comprehensive analysis of their needs, operational constraints and CO₂-reduction objectives, examining their current fleet, route organisation and available infrastructure. We use our carbon-emissions reduction simulator and our range simulator, which takes into account usage type, vehicle type, distance, topography, load, body type, and more.
We then co-design with them the most suitable decarbonisation solution: defining the most efficient routes, selecting the right vehicles, determining the required number of battery packs and choosing the appropriate charging system.
And even once everything is up and running, we remain by their side to help them continuously optimise the entire ecosystem.
This is why neither they nor their drivers experience range anxiety.
