Trotters trades up to Renault for first electric van

Clothing brand Trotters has chosen Renault Trucks’ E-Tech Master L3H1 Platform Cab for its first fully electric delivery vehicle.

The van will deliver stock to the company’s stores and partners, including Harrods and Liberty, across London.

The new E-Tech Master will average 20-30 miles per day and work within close proximity to Trotters Childrenswear’s fulfilment centre where the vehicle will also be charged.

Natasha Lunney, COO at Trotters (Childrenswear & Accessories), said: “We selected Renault Trucks because it’s a well-trusted brand and has a reputation for reliability, and because they had the size and style of van we were looking for to deliver our stock.”

She added: “The new vehicle is bigger and more efficiently laid-out than the previous competitor model, so we have been able to downsize our vehicles to just one. Given the size of the new van, we don’t envisage needing another.”
