GEODIS launches a test phase for the Oxygen urban electric truck

Against the backdrop of rapid growth in urban logistics, GEODIS is contributing to the development of solutions adapted to the urban environment through its ongoing partnership with Renault Trucks, established in 2022. The goal of the project is to develop Oxygen, an urban electric truck featuring the latest technologies, including integrated screens, a connected driver station and the use of artificial intelligence to improve the safety of the driver and other city center users, while meeting the demands of freight transport and addressing environmental challenges.

A test phase in two French cities: Lyon and Paris

The test phase got under way on September 9 in the center of Lyon and will run until October 4, before moving on to Paris from October 21 to November 22. It consists of using this vehicle, developed specifically for downtown deliveries, in real-life conditions for an evaluation of its success and advantages.

This experiment will be followed by a phase of analysis of the vehicle’s on-board features, taking account of feedback from drivers (comfort of use, convenience, recharging, etc.) and fleet managers.

A long-term partnership dedicated to carbon-free urban logistics

Renault Trucks and GEODIS have for many years been pooling their industrial, logistics and engineering know-how to design this electric truck for urban logistics. A partnership was formally established in 2022, enabling this 16-tonne vehicle to come to be produced. Read more
