Renault Trucks is returning to the Commercial Vehicle Show for the first time in 12 years, spotlighting its van line-up and commercial vehicle expertise.
Models from its fully electric truck range are also on display in the Destination Net Zero zone of the show, which runs from today (29 April) to 1 May.
Visitors to the Renault Trucks stand will see vans from the all-new Master range, including factory-built bodies and specialist tailored conversions that highlight the Master’s ng versatility and Renault Trucks’ expertise in delivering fit-for-purpose solutions.
This includes a Master L3H1, showcased with a 3.9m curtainsider body by Horton Commercials and new aero kit, ideal for dry freight distribution. The Master’s new 170hp Euro 6 engine is paired with a six-speed manual gearbox – a nine-speed ZF automatic is available as an option – and also offers a compact turning circle for manoeuvrability and easy access for urban deliveries.
Offering a 1,050kg payload for enhanced productivity and efficiency, the Renault Trucks Master L3H1 is available with a three-year Renault Trucks Reference Service Contract, which covers fixed-price preventative maintenance.
Co-starring alongside the Master is a high-specification Renault Trucks Trafic L2H1 Red Edition+ panel van packed with extras, including leather upholstery, to deliver a premium on-road experience.
The Trafic on the stand also features Renault Trucks’ internal protection system fitted by PD Stevens. Available as a customised specification, this deterrent against tool theft consists of CAT1 alarm, unique internal securing system and full sealed steel mesh internal door system with an internal five-point locking mechanism, with ‘Safewall’ system.
Powered by the latest Euro 6 150hp engine, the Trafic offers a 952kg payload and comes with a five-year / 160,000km warranty as standard.
Completing the show line-up is an all-electric Renault Trucks Master E-Tech L3H2 4,000kg GVW panel van, said to boast the most efficient electric drivetrain on the market today. Featuring a completely redesigned motor and an 87kWh battery, the E-Tech Master delivers a WLTP range of 285 miles (460km) that’s said to be class-leading.
It’s capable of charging at 130kW DC and said to offer the fastest charging times of any 3.5- / 4.0-tonne van on the market, ensuring quicker turnaround when a top-up is needed. The E-Tech Master also features an optional V2L (vehicle-to-load) system, allowing tools and equipment to be powered directly from the van, perfect for onsite work.
Finally, Carlos Rodrigues, Renault Trucks’ managing director for the UK and Ireland, is taking part in the seminar programme.
Rodrigues will lead the ‘Future of Electrification: Pathways to Zero Emissions’ session on 30 April from 13.10 to 13.40 on the main stage in hall 5, giving expert insights into the transition to net zero transport.
