Renault PRO+ is enhancing the Master E-Tech Chassis Cab range further with the introduction of fully converted Dropside, Luton Box Van and Tipper options complementing the established Luton Low Loader conversion. The expanded line-up means Renault is unique in offering such a diverse range of fully converted electric vans, giving LCV customers the most comprehensive and versatile EV line-up on the market.
The newly introduced 3.5-tonne Master Chassis Cab E-Tech now offers an increased 1,620kg payload from the 3.5-tonne derivative, allowing it to be converted into Dropside, Luton Box Van, and Tipper specifications. These join the existing Master E-Tech electric range, which also includes the Panel Van and Platform Cab introduced in 2020.
New body conversion options go electric
The Chassis Cab’s 1,620kg maximum payload enables the latest suite of conversions – Dropside, Luton Box Van and Tipper – alongside the existing conversions in the Master range, available in a choice of body lengths.
The Master E-Tech 3.5T Dropside is designed for those needing to effortlessly load large and bulky items to and from their vehicle, due to its open load area and 400mm high aluminium side panels.
The Luton Box Van, with its large, enclosed load area boasting 20m3 load space, is well-suited for transporting furniture, bulky supplies and more. Alternatively, the Tipper offers users the benefit and practicality of a Tipper body, which is ideal for carrying and distributing materials to and from construction sites.
The new off-the-shelf electric conversions of the Dropside and Tipper from partners VFS, and TruckCraft Bodies for the new Luton Box Van & Luton Low Loader, ensure Renault PRO+ cements its place as the one-stop-shop for commercial vehicle buyers, with a new, comprehensive, and fully electric range to meet customer’s needs directly through the Renault dealer network alongside the existing diesel options.
Master E-Tech 3.5T powertrain and driving range
