The Renault Master ECO is available in most popular body styles, including box van, panel van and chassis cab variants like tippers.
Renault has joined the low emission van club with a new version of the Master, the Master ECO.
According to the manufacturer, the Master ECO uses up to 7% less fuel than its predecessor.
Commenting on the new package, which Renault says is aimed at cost-conscious operators (are there really still operators who aren’t cost conscious?), Nigel Butler, Renault Trucks Commercial Director, says:
“With significantly lower consumption, the new Renault Master ECO provides excellent fuel efficiency. The 100 and 125hp versions are already available and, with enhanced low rates of finance on LCVs, this is a fantastic offer.”
The practical Renault Master ECO is available in a wide range of body styles including panel van, chassis cab, crew cab, minibus and platform cab versions, with gross vehicle weights of 2.8 to 4.8 tonnes.
Front wheel drive models benefit from new air suspension, as well as a new radio and sat-nav system, but Renault didn’t go into specifics about how the fuel savings are achieved — perhaps revised gearbox ratios and low rolling resistance tyres?
Productivity is increased through improved payload and load space, with the Renault Master ECO panel van benefiting from up to 17m3 of usable volume and 2,254kg of payload; while the chassis cab version has a payload of up to 2,529kg.
Cheap finance
For a limited period, Renault Trucks Financial Services is giving customers the opportunity to take advantage of lower interest rates on all LCVs registered until 31st December 2012. A competitive range of finance offers includes three years at an interest rate of just 0.99%, which could save operators around £45 a month, four years at 1.49% and five years at 1.99%.
