Renault Trucks has partnered with Kleuster, a Lyon-based electric cargo bike manufacturer to accelerate the production and distribution of the Freegônes e-cargo bikes.
These cargo bikes will be assembled at the heart of Renault Trucks' Vénissieux industrial site and distributed through the manufacturer's European network.
With the expansion of low-emission zones (LEZ), booming demand for last mile delivery, and increased environmental awareness, agile and decarbonised transport is clearly the future in urban areas. To address this pressing need, Kleuster launched its pioneering Freegônes professional e-cargo bike 8 years ago.
Renault Trucks will commit to developing decarbonised transport modes. The manufacturer is gradually electrifying its vehicle ranges for customers operating in cities. To respond to the demands of urban logistics, Renault Trucks has entered the field of cycle logistics by partnering with Kleuster to produce Freegônes at its Vénissieux plant. These e-cargo bikes are now being sold through the French Renault Trucks network and in its European network from 2023.
