These jeans here you have the new Renault Master and I’ve been waiting for this moment all my life oh Lord can feel it coming in the Hello everyone hello ladies and gentlemen I’m really delighted and very impatient to be able to present today the fruit of the labors of a great team of commercial vehicle professionals at Renault teams have worked passionately on the renewal of Master which is the iconic Renault lcv Master actually represents 40 Years
Of history and 40 Years of success it was launched in 1980 and we have sold over 3 million vehicles under this name it’s present in 50 countries worldwide and it is a market leader in Europe and Brazil so the next decade is set to change the face of mobility and
Commercial vehicles will be a major player the energy transition obviously shared Mobility public transport autonomous Logistics all of these challenges still await us we also have new players coming into this segment although it’s already a very competitive segment we decided to go into the next decade with the fourth
Generation of of Master therefore we had the best possible Advantage but we rethought everything and we redid everything for the benefit of our customers and so we thought if you’re going to change anything everything let’s start with a shik and shock design so our Master new master picks up of
Some of on some of the track truck or L codes as you can see here in solutons emphasizing robustness reliability durability and safety you can see the new Rena Master’s new proportions a shorter wheel base a larger cargo area and sleeker lines a very expressive very recognizable front
End who which for the very first time incorporates the new Renault brand identity with the new logo on a commercial vehicle we have c-shaped shaped LED headlamps of impressive proportions a robust bumper so this is an assertive and Innovative design for the segment but that was not enough we
Really wanted to give meaning to this new design so that the design was really for better performance for our customers new Rena master was developed in a wind tunnel exceptional work has been carried out on aerodynamics to ensure that it can be positioned at the very top of the
Segment enabling it to further while consuming less and making it into a real aan you can see the big air intakes on the front face as well as the considerable angle of the wind screen and a tighter narrower rear for improved aerodynamics the rear end Bears the
Master identity as well and also has the reflected she C shape on the rear lights the cockpit is no exception where we’ve changed everything in order to make life easier for our professional customer cust it’s been designed like a cocoon with a dashboard facing the driver once again using Truck design codes for
Improved ergonomics this shape associated with the sharply sloping windscreen increases the feeling of space for the driver and the 10-in screen within easy reach that is now becoming a standard over our range and of course the mobile office with a host of storage compartment with a capacity of 135 L
Making it even more practical the Caro Dimensions have been redesigned to offer greater load length and easier layout as well with a very straight bulkhead and numerous anchoring points now let’s come back to the aoan what are the benefits actually of having an aoan well the optimization work
Carried out on the platform and our aerodynamics has enabled us to reduce the energy consumption of the El vehicle by more than 20% and also a reduction of 1.5 L per 100 km for IC Vehicles this represents also a 22% reduction in our CO2 emissions which slips us under the 200 g
Threshold so as you can see this is a multi- energy platform the new Master will be available as a 100% electric vehicle with two battery options 40 KW hours and 87 as well as a hydrogen version and of course also with an IC version to facilitate the energy transition in an
Agile way in all countries all regions now this multi- energy platform will be produced on a single assembly line in bti in France for greater responsiveness and better competitiveness our customers will therefore now be able to use their business related equipment in exactly the same way as they used to do on an
Internal com combustion M Master as on electric or a hydrogen part Master the choice of energy will not be linked to a particular model or brand because now everything is possible on the new Rena Master let’s talk performance the IC version available in four power levels
Will also be offered with a new –speed automatic gearbox for enhanced Comfort Master the new renom Master ech will have a range of over 410 km with an 87 KW battery and that will give it the very best range to kilow ratio on the segment the fast charge also will would
Give you an extra 230 km of range in just half an hour and finally the hydrogen version which we will reveal to you a little later new ROM Master comes also with a very very innovative Dynamic braking system which not only contributes to the vehicle Energy Efficiency but also improves its
Breaking efficiency reducing Reaction Time by 50% whatever may be the load on the vehicle as a result the ABS for pedestrians and cyclists really can deliver record times for the segment the platform also features Rena’s new electronic architecture with 20 ades for occupant safety and comfort the electric versions also offer
An Innovative vehicle with vehicle to grid and vehicle to load uh the package so the vehicle to load allows equipment to be connected direct to the electric vehicles uh battery or via other plugs or or to the charger in this way all of the conversions are possible
On an IC master as well as on an electric Master the master will be 100% connected thanks to openr link with Google inside which is recognized as being the most intuitive multimedia system on the market and it is also found on the mean in addition to Google Maps
Navigation an electric root planner also makes it possible for our customers to plan their electric Journeys we can also have voice control that can be used for many fun and also for over 50 integrated app connectivity of the vehicle will also enable overthe a updating so that
Many many new functions can be added continuously and so that existing functions can be kept completely up to date so it’s as simple as useful and as effective as a smartphone now the new Rena Master benefits from many other connected Services thanks to my Rena and mobilize such as connected Fleet Management but
The new Master also reaffirms the fundamentals of commercial vehicles within increased payload with larger cargo space dimensions larger sliding side doors to make life easier for professional customers all of this plus a turning Circle that will really surprise you and electric bar steering for exceptional Comfort particularly
During City driving and of course as always a truly remarkable lineup to match the needs of all of our professionals we offer four over 40 versions of new musters all manufactured in a bati factory different lengths different heights rear wheeel drive front-wheel drive and loads of new
