The judges highlighted the truck's flexibility for urban logistics, with opportunities for battery regeneration and stress-free driving.
Also commended was the truck’s familiar design, with judges noting that the BEV powertrain is based on the Renault Trucks D version, retaining the look, cab accessibility, and operational features such as driving position, location of switch gear and visibility of its ICE counterpart.
Positive feedback from owners and operators further underscored its industry impact. The panel also appreciated its smooth driving experience – and particularly relished the challenge set to optimise range distance.
