Renault has unveiled the all-new aerodynamically styled Master Van which will be available from the European Spring of 2024 with three different powertrain options from launch.

Customers can choose their preferred motive power from turbodiesel engines, battery electric drive, or a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle.

The diesel engines are available from 105 to 170 horsepower with a nine-speed automatic, the battery electric vehicles offer 96 or 105-kW electric motors and 40 or 87 kWh batteries providing more than 410 km of range (WLTP).

More than 20 driver assistance systems provide safety, and a dynamic braking system that boosts effectiveness no matter how loaded the van is, halving braking time according to the manufacturer.

The battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell Master vans offer Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) charging possibilities to power devices straight from the battery or via outlets in the cockpit or load area.

The new Master offers greater payloads (up to 4 tonnes with front-wheel drives), 11 to 22 cubic metre load areas with front- or rear-wheel drives, and best-in-class loading width and length according to Renault.

All three energy versions of the Master are made on the same production line in Batilly near Metz in eastern France.
