Renault takes a big stand

Date: Tuesday, March 22, 2011

Renault claims that half of the 14 vans displayed on its stand at the Commercial Vehicle Show in April will be making their UK show debuts.

In order to accommodate new additions to its Master conversions range Renault has booked the largest stand at the event, measuring 915 sq m.

On display ahead of their launches in the second quarter of the year will be four factory-built Master variants, box van, dropside, Tipper and 17-seat minibus, plus two locally converted products – Luton van and curtainside.

Fleet and CV boss Darren Payne said: “We’ve made no bones about our ambitious plans to increase our share of the UK conversions market to 8% in the months ahead. Our wealth of new models on show underlines that message.”

However, the brand’s most high profile model at the NEC will be the electric Kangoo Van ZE, which Payne claims is “the first affordable factory-built electric van in the UK”

Prices for the zero-emission Kangoo Van start at £16,990 excluding VAT plus £59 monthly battery lease over four years/9000 miles annually.
