Renault is adding fully converted Dropside, Luton Box Van and Tipper options to its Master E-Tech Chassis Cab range, complementing the established Luton Low Loader conversions.

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, 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.

Renault Master E-Tech Body Conversions

The Master E-Tech 3.5T Dropside is designed for those needing to effortlessly load large and bulky items to and from their vehicle, with a large open load area and 400mm high aluminium side panels.

The Luton box van is equipped with a large, enclosed load area boasting 20m3 load space, and 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.
