Overview
The Renault Goelette E-Tech is a battery-electric light commercial vehicle manufactured by Renault. It was introduced in 2026 as part of a new family of electric commercial vehicles developed by Flexis, alongside the Renault Trafic E-Tech and Renault Estafette E-Tech. The Goelette is designed primarily as a versatile vehicle for conversions and specialist commercial applications, and is offered in chassis-cab and box-body configurations. The name recalls the historic Renault Goélette, a light commercial vehicle produced by Renault from 1956 to 1965. The modern Goelette, however, is an electric vehicle based on a different architecture and is not a direct continuation of the original model.
Design
The Goelette uses a cab-forward design with a short front section and a relatively compact overall footprint. Its architecture separates the passenger compartment from the rear body, allowing different types of commercial superstructure to be installed.
Powertrain
The Goelette E-Tech uses a rear-mounted electric motor and an 800-volt electrical architecture. Renault has announced an 81 kWh battery for the model, with a maximum WLTP range of approximately 415 km depending on configuration.
Software and electrical architecture
The Goelette E-Tech uses Renault Group's software-defined vehicle architecture. The electrical and electronic systems are based around centralized computing hardware, allowing vehicle functions to be controlled through software and enabling over-the-air updates.
