Renault Trucks' E-Tech T now reaches 600km range with e-axle technology! The future of sustainable long-haul transport has arrived. Renault Trucks' brand-new e-axle technology enhances the existing electric platform, with the range now reaching 600km on a single charge. The E-Tech T is taking electric mobility into its next phase thanks to our innovative electric axle technology. By integrating the powertrain at the rear of the truck, it frees up space for extra battery packs and gives the driver a boost in range. This is what Emmanuel Duperray, Senior Vice President Electromobility at Renault Trucks had to say: 🗣️ “The advent of this electric truck will boost the transition to electric mobility. We believe that a range of 600 km on a single charge, combined with the development of public charging infrastructure networks by 2026 – through our joint venture Milence – will enable us to achieve the operational parity [with diesel technology] that our customers expect.” Orders for the new vehicle open in 2025 with production rolling out from our Bourg-en-Bresse plant.

🚗⚡️ Chinese EVs in Paris: Invasion or Collaboration? 🤔 The biennial Paris Motor Show is buzzing with electric excitement as Chinese automakers like Xpeng and GAC make their grand entrance. But hold your horses (or should I say, hold your electrons?) – they're not here for a hostile takeover! Key takeaways: Xpeng, a 10-year-old EV startup, isn't looking to "overthrow" century-old European giants EU's defensive play: Up to 45% tariffs on Chinese EVs Xpeng-Volkswagen partnership in the works (East meets West, EV style!) GAC's olive branch: "We come with an attitude to cooperate" With European automakers like Volkswagen and Stellantis issuing profit warnings faster than you can say "électrique," the plot thickens. Renault's CEO, Luca De Meo, is ready to fight back but also sees potential for collaboration, especially in battery supply chains. Is this the dawn of a new era in the auto industry, where competition drives innovation and collaboration fuels progress? Or are we witnessing the opening act of an electric car drama that'll keep us on the edge of our seats? What's your take on this electrifying development?

WHY HAS VIETNAM FAILED THE GOAL "MADE-IN-VN" CAR AFTER 20 YEARS? Do you know Vietnam has a nearly 30-year history of car automotive industry? We have Vinfast, Thaco, Thanh Cong but until now has only 20% value-added in manufacturing passenger cars. The ratio in Thailand and Indonesia is around 80-90%. This chart maybe part of the answer. We have the same car assemblers in a small market compared to Thailand and Indonesia. My latest data story published on VnExpress discussed why Vietnam has failed to create a real domestic automotive industry. Link is in the comment below. #VnExpress #automotive #vinfast #thaco #datastory
