French van manufacturer Renault have used this week’s Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham to announce several new van models, including new Trafic variants and the all-new Kangoo. 
Renault Trafic
The highly popular Trafic (also sold as the Vauxhall Vivaro and Nissan Primastar) will now be available in three new variants:
- Trafic Navigation
- Trafic Sport
- Trafic Refrigerated Van
Both the Trafic Navigation will have a package of desirable extras as standard including air-conditioning and electric windows and mirors. The Trafic Sport will also include alloy wheels while the Navigation model will include full colour satellite navigation in its central console, an increasingly popular choice.
The Trafic Refrigerated Van is designed to provide a practical and complete refrigerated panel van direct from the factory. Designed in conjunction with Lamberet, one of Europe’s leading refrigerated transport solutions providers, the Refrigerated Van will keep its payload between 0 and 12 degrees even when the temperature outside rises over 30 degrees.
New Renault Kangoo
Details of the UK spec new Renault Kangoo have not yet been confirmed – but the new van will offer improved comfort, safety and economy compared to the old one with very similar payload capabilities. The 1.21m width between its wheel arches will mean that it can carry one euro pallet, too – giving useful flexibility.
The new Kangoo will look like this when it’s available, with a handy fold-flat passenger seat that will enable much longer loads to fit inside the van:
