The first of Renault\u2019s next-generation of vans will be available with a choice of combustion-engine or all-electric power<\/h2>\n

Renault has announced the next-generation of its large Master van will be revealed before the end of November, with the brand beginning to drum up some hype for the debut of its new Ford Transit rival by sharing a shadowy teaser image a more aerodynamic panel van silhouette.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no denying it still looks like a large panel van, but upon closer inspection we can see the windscreen is more steeply raked and the roofline slops off subtly towards the rear. Renault claims the new Master\u2019s \u201cAerovan\u201d shaped body, along with a new braking system, have helped boost efficiency. That manifests itself as reduced fuel consumption for combustion-engined versions and an all-electric Master E-Tech that will use up to 21 per cent less energy than the current model.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Exactly what this means for the new Master E-Tech\u2019s driving range isn\u2019t clear at this time. But considering the current Master E-Tech can only cover up to 126 miles on a single charge, while the Ford E-Transit will reach 196 miles, and the right Fiat e-Ducato can do up to 230 miles in one go, we expect that there\u2019ll be a sizable increase in this department.\u00a0<\/p>\n
