Renault announces concept for electric vans made for city dwellers –

We seem to be on the eve of a major change in car design philosophy and appearance. With the electric movement in mind, there has been a spike in more unusual and futuristic-looking car concepts, and Renault’s latest effort only further supports that.

The French automaker has unveiled an idea for an electric van, the Estafette Concept that is supposedly “inspired by cities and the professionals who work in them.”

The Estafette Concept is built on a modular platform, has a body more than 2.5 m high yet thin enough to fit in a parking space, has a three-panel windshield and a yellow poptop roof to create a “strong statement” make, as Renault notes, and an interior that offers two 10-inch vertical screens and an infotainment suite that includes a 12-inch central screen and a 7-inch dashboard.

There is no mention of the specifics of the electric motors and what powers the van, nor when we might actually see one of these peculiar models on the road.
