A Van for Every Need

The New Renault Master offers a range of configurations to meet diverse customer requirements. Available in both diesel and electric variants, the van can be customised to support nearly any business need. Diesel options range from 105 to 170 bhp, while the electric models come with either 96 kW or 105 kW motors, supported by battery capacities of 40 or 87 kWh. Notably, the larger battery offers an impressive range of over 460 kilometres on the WLTP cycle, making it an ideal choice for longer journeys. Additionally, Renault has introduced a hydrogen-powered version for customers seeking a zero-emission option with extended range capabilities.

Unmatched Versatility and Payload Capacity

One of the New Master’s greatest strengths lies in its flexibility. With over 40 different body configurations and seemingly limitless conversion possibilities, this van can be tailored to nearly any operational requirement. The vehicle supports payloads of up to 2 tonnes on front-wheel drive models and offers an interior cargo space between 11 and 22 cubic metres, depending on the wheel drive configuration. In terms of accessibility and loading capacity, the New Master leads its class with an optimised opening width and cargo area length.

Comfort-Driven Interior

Renault has redesigned the cabin with comfort and convenience in mind, offering a range of seating options, including suspended, swivelling, and individual seats. The van also features three different bench types and multiple fabric options, enhancing driver and passenger comfort. The cabin storage capacity has been expanded by 25%, now offering up to 135 litres of storage space, making it a practical choice for professionals who need easy access to tools and equipment.

A Legacy of Excellence

The New Renault Master’s victory at the International Van of the Year awards underscores Renault’s long-standing reputation for quality and adaptability in the commercial vehicle market. As businesses increasingly seek sustainable, efficient, and customisable solutions, the New Master E-Tech stands out as a powerful and adaptable option.

With this award, Renault has once again demonstrated its ability to anticipate and meet the evolving needs of its customers, solidifying its position as a leader in the commercial vehicle industry.
