Renault Trucks is set to return to the Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham next week, after a 12-year absence.
The French manufacturer will be showing its latest van line-up at the NEC from April 29th to May 1st, with Renault Master and Trafic conversions. Models from its fully electric truck range will also be on display.
Visitors to the Renault Trucks stand will see the all-new Renault Trucks Master series which will include factory-built bodies and specialised conversions.
Efficiency is the theme, with a Renault Trucks Master L3H1 with a 3.9m curtainsider body by Horton Commercials and a new aerodynamic kit on display.
Alongside the Master, will also be a high-specification Renault Trucks Trafic L2H1 Red EDITION+ panel van with extras including leather upholstery.
In response to growing numbers of tool theft from vans, the Trafic on display will be equipped with Renault Trucks’ internal protection system. This customisable system includes a CAT1 alarm, a unique internal securing mechanism, and a full sealed steel mesh internal door system with a five-point locking mechanism. It's also got a "Safewall" system designed to make the van panels more resistant to external theft.
Completing the line-up will be a-Renault Trucks Master E-Tech L3H2 4000 kgs GVW electric van.
Renault Trucks will be highlighting its electric truck capabilities with a 42-tonne Renault Trucks E-Tech T 4x2 which will be on display. This truck is powered by three E-Tech motors and six 90 kWh battery packs, delivering 540 kWh of power and a range of up to 300km on a full charge.
Not to be confused with Renault Group, who will be there as Renault vans to show the new range of Flexis-made models like the Estafette and Goelette, Renault Trucks is a seperate business owned by Volvo Group.

Renault Trucks will also rebadge and sell the Flexis vans as part of their range, with a likely emphasis on the conversions available on the chassis cab or the Step-In van. Renault Trucks makes a number of converted vans with dropside, luton van and tipper options.
