Renault Trucks has embarked on a groundbreaking journey across Europe, marking a significant milestone in the transportation industry.
The French manufacturer launched its first-ever tour with a 100% electric truck named the “Diamond Echo,” setting off from the Bourg-en-Bresse plant on April 11, 2024.
The “Diamond Echo” is not just any electric truck; it boasts a unique electroluminescent design that illuminates the roads like never before.
Collaborating with drivers and specialists in design and paint, Renault Trucks has crafted a vehicle that stands out even in the darkest of nights.
Powered by Lumilor technology, the paint, expertly applied by Demon Paint, emits a captivating glow when an electrical stimulus is applied.
This innovative feature not only enhances visibility but also underscores Renault Trucks’ commitment to pushing the boundaries of electric mobility.
As part of its ambitious journey, the “Diamond Echo” is traversing more than 10,000 kilometres across seven countries, including the UK.
Making over 60 stops along the way, the tour aims to engage with the transport community and showcase the practicality of electric mobility.
Renault Trucks is at the forefront of the energy transformation, offering a comprehensive range of 100% electric vehicles, ranging from 650 kg e-cargo bikes to 44-ton tractors and urban construction trucks.
The tour serves as a platform to demonstrate the operational advantages of these vehicles while promoting the Renault Trucks E-Tech range and the expertise of its network.
The UK leg of the tour, spanning 18 days, kicks off on April 23 in Newcastle.
From Scotland to the South Coast, including prominent events like Truckfest Lincoln Showground on May 4-5, the “Diamond Echo” will captivate audiences and highlight the potential of electric mobility in the transportation sector.
Renault Trucks’ foray into electric mobility represents a significant step towards a sustainable future for transportation.
Through initiatives like the European tour, the company continues to drive innovation and inspire industry-wide adoption of electric vehicles.
