The Renault FlexEVan is an upcoming range of 100% electric light commercial vehicles (LCVs) developed through a collaboration between Renault, Volvo Group, and CMA CGM within the joint venture Flexis. Production is set to begin in 2026 at Renault's Sandouville plant in France.
The production model was officially unveiled on 28 January 2025, after being previewed by the Estafette concept car in September 2024.
History
In October 2023, Renault and Volvo Group announced the formation of Flexis, a joint venture dedicated to developing a new generation of electric LCVs. Each company holds a 45% stake in Flexis, with the remaining 10% owned by CMA CGM. The initiative seeks to address the growing demand for sustainable urban delivery vehicles by leveraging the expertise of its founding partners.
Overview
Features
The FlexEVan range is built on a skateboard-type platform, with batteries integrated into the floor to optimize space and weight distribution. This design allows for high modularity, enabling the production of at least three different body types in two length options, all sharing a common cabin structure. The vehicles are tailored for last-mile delivery, emphasizing maneuverability, compactness, and versatility.
Specifications
While specific technical details are pending release, the FlexEVan models will feature a software-defined vehicle (SDV) architecture.
