Renault reveals hydrogen-powered Master van

Renault’s joint venture with Hyvia, the French hydrogen and mobility specialist, has been working on hydrogen van prototypes for more than three years and this latest model is based on feedback from the first two H2-Tech prototypes.All versions of the Master, no matter the powertrain, will be manufactured on the same assembly line at the Batilly plant (near Metz).

Engines, gearboxes and batteries are made in France and 84% of suppliers used in production are based in France.Renault is still going through the official homologation process, but it believes that 435-mile range and five minute recharge time at a hydrogen refuelling station for the Master H2-Tech will set a new benchmark for the segment.

The French manufacturer also confirmed it will be offering the Master H2-Tech in van, floor cab and chassis cab versions in collaboration with approved Renault Pro+ bodybuilders.
