Description

The outgoing Kangoo Z.E has for some time been the only electric van on sale here, though the similar-size BYD T3 has since gone on-sale in limited numbers.

Despite the lack of choice, there’s growing interest for zero-emission last-mile delivery vans from courier services and major fleets, meaning Renault Australia’s local importer Ateco has an opportunity to strike.

If all goes to plan, the Kangoo E-Tech’s launch timing should put it hot on the heels of the combustion models (it’s unclear if both petrol and diesel will come here), due in the third quarter of next year at this stage.
