Master and Movano soon to make their debut

Renault and Vauxhall have released a range of brand spanking new panel vans that will go on sale this week. The Renault Master and Vauxhall Movano offer better performance and improved running costs as well as a broader line up when compared to their ongoing machines.

This new vehicle is a part of Renault and Vauxhall’s continued collaboration on light commercial vehicles. It is the culmination of four-years of development plans and blueprints. It will give both companies a stake in the LGV sector of up to 4.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight. They are both 2.3 litre diesel engines.
The Master and Movano are both built in Batilly, France and are completely new, replacing the vans with the same name already in existing line ups.

There should be a 40% reduction in maintenance through a marked improvement in service intervals, as well as there being plenty of durability measures improved or implemented. One such is the shift from a timing belt to a chain and a 20% improvement in the brakes’ durability.

Both the Renault Master and the Vauhxall Movano will be unveiled at the Commercial Vehicle Operator Show at the Birmingham NEC. The show runs from the 13th – 15th April and will showcase other new vehicles similar to the Master and Movano.
