Renault: Master E-Tech Electric electric transporter for the postal service

Renault and Swiss Post. It's an electric success story that began in 2013 when Renault delivered its first electric Kangoo to the company. Today, 330 Kangoo E-Tech Electric are already on the road on behalf of Swiss Post. They carry a substantial part of the 1.7 billion letters per year.

Completely electric by 2030

The delivery of 240 new all-electric Renault Master E-Tech Electric vans to Swiss Post between November and January supports a further step toward climate neutrality. This gives Swiss Post a total of 570 electric Renault delivery vehicles in use.

Claudia Meyer, Managing Director Renault Suisse SA: "We are pleased to support Swiss Post on its way to becoming a CO₂-free delivery. We would like to thank them for their many years of cooperation and the opportunity to accompany Swiss Post in its transition to e-mobility."

By purchasing electric commercial vehicles, Swiss Post aims to convert its entire delivery fleet to electric drive by 2030.

Johannes Cramer, Head of Logistics Services at Swiss Post: "As a company owned by the federal government, Swiss Post always has a role model function. By converting our vehicle fleet to electric drive, we are not only reducing CO₂-emissions of our business, but also ensure more sustainable transportation in cities."

Battery repair and recycling

The Renault Group has its own battery repair center in Switzerland, where individual cells or modules are replaced or fuses are exchanged. Renault also focuses on the circular economy in production, Second Life and the recycling of vehicles and batteries. Used vehicles are reconditioned by Renault at the Re-Factory in Flins, France, and Seville, Spain, for extended use. When battery recycling is due, it is done partly in Switzerland and partly in France.
