Returning to the Commercial Vehicle Show for the first time in 12 years, Renault Trucks will take the spotlight at the NEC (29 April – 1 May 2025) on stand 5A40 showcasing its acclaimed van line-up backed by deep commercial vehicle expertise.

Models from its fully electric truck range will also be on display at stands 4D10 and 4D16 in the Destination Net Zero zone of the show.

Visitors to stand 5A40 will see vans from the all-new Renault Trucks Master range, including factory-built bodies and specialist tailored conversions that highlight the Master’s class leading versatility and Renault Trucks’ expertise in delivering fit-for-purpose solutions.

Efficiency takes centre stage, with a Renault Trucks Master L3H1 equipped with 3.9m curtainsider body by Horton Commercials and new aero kit, ideal for dry freight distribution. The Master’s highly efficient new 170PS Euro VI engine, which optimises fuel consumption and reduces emissions, is paired with smooth-shifting 6 speed manual gearbox (a 9-speed ZF automatic is available as an option), ideal for drivers who prioritise comfort behind the wheel. Its compact turning circle ensures excellent manoeuvrability and easy access for urban deliveries.

Offering 1050 kgs payload for enhanced productivity and efficiency, the Renault Trucks Master L3H1 is available with a 3 year Renault Trucks Reference Service Contract which covers fixed price preventative maintenance.

Co-starring alongside the Master is a high specification Renault Trucks Trafic L2H1 Red EDITION+ panel van packed with extras, including leather upholstery, to deliver a premium on-road experience, enhancing comfort, safety, and productivity.

A must-see for trade professionals, especially in light of escalating tool thefts from vans, the Trafic on stand also features Renault Trucks’ innovative internal protection system fitted by P.D.Stevens. Available as a customised specification, this formidable deterrent against tool theft consists of CAT1 alarm, unique internal securing system and full sealed steel mesh internal door system with an internal five-point locking mechanism, with “Safewall” system that ensures the van panels are almost impenetrable to thieves from the outside.

Powered by the latest Euro 6 150ps engine, the Trafic offers a generous 952 kgs payload and comes with 5 year 160,000km warranty as standard.

Completing the show line-up on stand 5A40 is an all-electric Renault Trucks Master E-Tech L3H2 4000 kgs GVW panel van, which sets the benchmark for electric vans in its class, boasting the most efficient electric drivetrain on the market today. Featuring a completely redesigned motor and an 87kWh battery, the E-Tech Master delivers a class-leading WLTP range of 460km*.

Capable of charging at 130kW DC, it offers the fastest charging times of any 3.5 / 4.0 tonne van on the market, ensuring quicker turnaround when a top-up is needed. Adding to its versatility, the E-Tech Master also features an optional V2L (vehicle-to-load) system, allowing tools and equipment to be powered directly from the van, perfect for onsite work.

Powering up the Destination Net Zero Zone of the CV Show in Hall 4, a 42 tonne Renault Trucks E-Tech T 4x2 will be on display to showcase the real-world capability of electric trucks already operating on our roads today. Made to meet operators’ needs for productivity and performance, the truck runs on three E-Tech motors, with six 90 kWh battery packs to deliver 540 kWh of power. The E-Tech T offers a range of up to 300km on a full charge and up to 500km with an intermediate fast charge (250 kW) of an hour.

Designed for driver comfort inside and out, the E-Tech T’s highly specified cab features a host of optional extras, including 4-point air suspension with ride-height control system, as well as heated Comfort driver’s seat and ultimate leather steering wheel.

Additionally, visitors to the Destination Net Zero area can see a 19 tonne Renault Trucks E-Tech D Wide 4x2, equipped with SB Components box body in the livery of Vertellus, the OEM-backed full-service commercial vehicle contract hire company.

Powered by 265 kWh, 600 V E-Tech lithium-ion batteries, the two Alternating Current synchronous motors with permanent-magnet technology delivers maximum power of 370 kW, continuous power of 260 kW and maximum torque of 850 Nm, and can cover up to 200km on a single charge. The E-Tech D19 is equipped with charge ports compatible with type 2 and CCS Combo 2, which allows mode 2, 3 or 4 charging from 22 kW to 150 kW. This vehicle is one of 30 available on Vertellus’ innovative EV Discovery Programme, which enables fleets to trial an electric truck for three months, putting it to work under real world conditions in their own operation.

A further highlight of Renault Trucks’ presence at the Commercial Vehicle Show 2025 is Managing Director of UK & Ireland, Carlos Rodrigues’ participation in the seminar programme. Leading the ‘Future of Electrification: Pathways to Zero Emissions’ session on 30 April from 13:10 to 13:40 on the Main Stage in Hall 5, Carlos will offer his expert insight into the transition to net zero transport. As a driving force behind Renault Trucks’ leadership in zero and low-carbon mobility in the UK, Carlos will explore the latest advancements, challenges, and opportunities shaping the future of commercial vehicle electrification, for the company, its customers and the wider industry.

Alex Williams, Head of Brand and Communications, Renault Trucks UK & Ireland, said:

“We’re delighted to return to the Commercial Vehicle Show to showcase our new van line-up, highlighting the range’s versatility and our commercial vehicle expertise.

Everything we do successfully with trucks, we bring to our van customers, from tailored solutions to extended servicing hours.

“For those exploring the reality of electric trucks, we’re proud to be part of the Destination Net Zero Zone, demonstrating practical, real world road solutions already in operation. We look forward to welcoming visitors to our stands, where our experts will be on hand to discuss our full range, service support, and zero emission solutions.”
