For years, commercial fleet operators have faced a major compromise when adopting electric vehicles: sacrificing essential payload capacity.
We are excited to announce that the new Trucksmith LoLoader x Renault E-Tech, built by Trucksmith, definitively eliminates this compromise with a game-changing chassis that allows you to carry more, legally, and easily.
The 4-Tonne Advantage: Maximum Load, Minimal Red Tape
The biggest news for high-volume operators is the introduction of a robust 4,000kg Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) chassis for the E-Tech model. This provides a massive boost in usable capacity where it counts most.
This highly capable vehicle offers two distinct, unparalleled advantages:
1. Massive Payload Increase
The new 4t GVW chassis allows the LoLoader to carry a significantly heavier load than its 3.5t diesel counterpart.
- 1,392 kg Usable Payload: The 4t GVW chassis delivers a highly competitive payload of 1,392 kg, giving you 187kg more capacity compared to the 3.5t Diesel equivalent (1,205 kg).
- Market-Leading Body Weight: Our commitment to efficiency continues with a body design that remains one of the lightest on the market, weighing just 431kg. This ensures that the maximum amount of the 4t capacity is dedicated to your goods, not the build.
2. Standard Licence, Heavy Haulage
Despite the jump to 4 tonnes, UK law has been adapted to ease the transition to electric, allowing drivers to operate this heavy EV without needing a higher-category licence.
- Car Licence Ready: Drivers can operate the 4t E-Tech LoLoader using a standard Category B (car) licence, provided they are over 21 and have held the licence for two years (maximum driver age 70). This eliminates the cost and hassle of retraining or restricting your pool of available drivers.
Transparency in Weight: Why Our Payload Figures Are Realistic
At Trucksmith, we ensure your operational planning is based on reliable figures. When comparing LCVs, be wary of figures that exclude basic operational necessities.
We only quote the Mass In Running Order (MIRO) payload. This is the most honest and realistic representation of capacity because it INCLUDES the 75kg driver, screen wash, and all necessary fluids. If you see a competitor quoting a higher figure, ask if they’ve excluded the driver—it makes a huge difference to your actual capacity.
Simple Compliance for a Complex Vehicle
- Standard Servicing: The vehicle follows the standard N1 van service schedule, avoiding the burdensome O-licence requirements typically associated with heavier non-EV vehicles.
- Full Peace of Mind: The vehicle is covered by a comprehensive 3-year / 100,000-mile warranty, mirroring the manufacturer’s commitment.
The new 4t E-Tech LoLoader isn’t just an electric van; it’s a high-capacity, legally simplified solution that ensures your business can go electric without losing an ounce of efficiency.
