Cargo Van, Step-in Van and Panel Van
Flexis
The Flexis models are based on a skateboard platform and SDV electronic architecture from Renault's Ampere company. They are characterized by a low floor height, a customizable vehicle interior and the integration of high-performance battery solutions. The new vehicle family consists of three models: Step-in Van, Panel Van and Cargo Van. The maximum range is expected to be up to 450 km according to WLTP.
The Step-in Van starts in the mid-size van segment and offers sliding doors at the front and a roller door at the rear. The loading space has an interior height of 1.90 m. The multifunctional Panel Van, with its small turning circle, is designed primarily for urban traffic. With a total height of 1.90 m, the vehicle also fits into urban underground and multi-storey car parks. The Cargo Van is designed for urban last-mile delivery. It offers an easily adaptable box that can integrate different widths, heights and loading areas, as well as modular solutions such as refrigerated areas.
Flexis Intends to Offer Vehicles for Connected Logistics
So far, the first customers known are logistics providers Colis Privé, HIVED and DB Schenker. With the SDV concept, customers are said to be able to use a digital platform called "FlexE Connect" with real-time data for B2B-oriented services and receive OTA updates. Flexis plans to sell the vehicles directly to logistics providers and fleet managers, and also to supply the Renault Group and Renault Trucks. Series production will begin in mid-2026 at Renault's Sandouville plant.
