By joining forces with Kleuster, Renault Trucks is sharing its expertise, industrial infrastructure, and large-scale production capacity. Freegônes' assembly and logistics have moved to a 2,100 m2 building in Renault Trucks' long-standing Vénissieux site.
Renault Trucks has already put in place a production team of around a dozen people to meet increasing demand. In the very short term, production capacity will increase fivefold in comparison to 2022.
According to Renault Trucks' statement, this partnership reflects Renault Trucks' desire to strengthen its positioning in urban logistics and prepare its plants to take on new future-looking activities.
Built on a single body chassis, Freegônes offers 5 modules: dry box, refrigerated box, food service, flat bin, and refuse skip. The Freegônes dry box has a payload of 350 kg and 2m3 of useful volume, while the Freegônes refrigerated box can control temperature between -25°C to +4°C. The refuse skip is an e-cargo bike that can automatically unload into a tipper truck or container in less than 20 seconds. The e-bike has a range of up to 80 km, depending on configuration.
There are currently nearly 200 Freegônes travelling around France. Some of them have been going for more than 7 years.
