The Renault Kangoo is one of the best-known commercial vehicles of the last two decades. Their load capacity, low acquisition cost, as well as a very low maintenance cost, has meant that millions of companies, freelancers and individuals have opted for this vehicle. In 2011, Renault wanted to revolutionize the market, offering the Renault Kangoo ZE, which was one of the first electric commercial vehicles marketed by a generalist manufacturer.
The sales results have been very discreet in these five years that it has been on the market. As in all electric vehicles, especially those developed a few years ago, the main problem it presents is the reduced autonomy what it offers Approves 170 kilometers of autonomy in the NDEC cycle, although in normal driving it will be closer to 100 kilometers than the 170 announced. Its electric motor, which produces a power 60 hp and a torque of 220 Nm, does not offer a great answer, but the benefits in this type of vehicle are a matter of little importance.
As we said, the main problem of the Renault Kangoo ZE is its autonomy. The commercial vehicle subsidiary of the French diamond brand, Renault Pro+, has recently announced that it will present, on January 13 and during the Brussels Halla update for this vehicle electric that will extend your travel capacity with a single battery charge.
The autonomy gain, according to Renault Pro+ will be greater than 50%, a very positive fact. In the NDEC cycle will be 270 kilometers those that the Renault Kangoo ZE homologates. Again, the real autonomy will be much lower. Renault's own commercial vehicle subsidiary comments, in its brief press release, that in real life it will be 200 kilometers. This figure may be sufficient in vehicles used for delivery by the city or companies that operate in a reduced range of kilometers. In any case, any improvement is welcome.
