Renault Trucks introduces new Master as Red Edition
Renault Trucks presents the latest version of the Renault Trucks Master Red Edition – and unlike its passenger car counterparts, it immediately showcases the models with bed variants. Available from the factory as a tipper, van, or chassis, it covers all deployment possibilities. The Renault Trucks service network also offers a wide range of further options for industry-specific needs. This highlights the main difference: the truck service offers better opening hours and deeper expertise in both construction and outfitting.
The Renault Trucks Master Red Edition is available in five body variants: cab (L2, L3), flatbed truck (L2, L3), van (L2H2, L3H2), van with low cab (L2H2, L3H2), and passenger transporter. The vehicle already comes with mechanical and electrical fixtures that facilitate the construction works. The data is known from the passenger car segment: the vehicle's total weight is up to 4 tons, offering up to 1.6 tons of payload (3.5 tons chassis-cab without body), and it can hold up to 5 Euro pallets. The engine provides up to 105 kW and 300 Newton meters of maximum torque, the batteries hold up to 87 kWh, which should allow for a range of up to 400 km with a top speed of 90 km/h. Interesting to note: the charging time from 15% to 80% is indicated as 40 minutes at a maximum of 130 kW, with a towing capacity of up to 2.5 tons.
Packages for faster configuration
Furthermore, Renault Trucks has developed four optional packages to make the vehicle even more customizable:
"Delivery" to simplify delivery work,
"Parking Assist" to ease maneuvering in city centers,
"Storage" to optimize the cargo space,
"Driver Assist" to maximize the safety of the driver and road users.
Extended comfort and safety features
The Renault Trucks Master Red Edition and the Renault Trucks Master E-Tech Red Edition come standard with exclusive features that enhance driving comfort. These include a 10.1-inch secondary display, an induction charger, and wireless compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Additionally, there's access to Google services, automatic climate control, and generous storage space. The Renault Trucks Master E-Tech Red Edition also comes standard with a digital instrument cluster. There’s also an adaptive cruise control and speed limiter, parking sensors (rear, front, and sides) with rearview camera, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot warning, and traffic sign recognition.
The difference in the “truck” version: The red stripe
The truck version features a grille with a distinctive continuous red stripe. The sides display the "Red Edition" emblem, and the rear features the characteristic square logo. Red seat belts, as well as exclusive seat covers and floor mats, give the interior a personal touch.
The Master Red Edition is fully connected in both the diesel and electric versions, enabling the development of new specialized services. A personalized, dynamic maintenance plan allows for the combination of service works to ensure optimal uptime. Through a specialized application, the driver also receives information about the vehicle's condition. The Renault Trucks Master E-Tech Red Edition is complemented by a comprehensive service offering specifically for electric vehicles:
Audit, installation, and maintenance of charging stations, programming, and monitoring of the charging process.
For detailed cost control, Renault Trucks Financial Services offers a range of financing plans and tailored insurance solutions.
The expertise of Renault Trucks' trucks also benefits the vans
Customers benefit from Renault Trucks' know-how as a commercial vehicle manufacturer and the density of its sales and repair network (1,400 dealers in Europe). Repair and maintenance work on commercial vehicles—both diesel and electric—is carried out by expert, trained technicians. To meet customer needs, Renault Trucks offers quick appointment scheduling and extended opening hours (including Saturday mornings).
What does this mean?
Clearly, the new Master also appears in the portfolio of the truck brand "Renault Trucks," which is a 100% subsidiary of Volvo Trucks. The difference from "Renault Cars": The red stripe and the "Red Edition," because Renault Cars is yellow, Renault Trucks is red. And since the Master comes off quite angular, could one also see it in blue as a small Volvo van?
