Get Electric with Renault Master Z.E 

The Master has an extensive range of configurations including huge panel vans, crew cabs, chassis cabs and platform cabs with drop sides, tipper trucks and Luton box vans. Many of these configurations are available with a fully electric engine in Master Z.E range. These E-Tech electric vans have zero tailpipe emissions and are permitted to access low emission areas without facing restrictions or tariffs. The van and platform configurations start at 3100kg in weight, with a 3500kg option for van, platform, and chassis cab configurations when using an electric engine. 

Charging and Driving Range

Charging time is 6 hours using a 7kW wall charging box. The 33kWh battery generates a driving range in the Master ZE of 75 miles (WLTP) combined cycle, which in real-world city driving conditions is about 90 miles in the summer months and about 50 miles in tough winter conditions when loaded with 80% of maximum capacity. The 57kWh power unit offers an impressive torque of 225Nm. There are different government initiatives and rebates available to off-set the installation of a wall charging box at either your home or business making an electric van a practical solution. The Renault Master Z.E is designed for the frequent stops and short hops many last mile commercial van drivers complete several times a day in congested, low emission zones. Just charge your Master Z.E overnight and you’re ready to go the next morning.

Specialist electrics vans are hard to come by but Renault offer conversions with the Master platform cab. This means you can drive around in a Renault Master ZE Luton van without having to fork out on hefty fuel bills and emission charges. The NEDC range states a range of up to 124 miles from one charge with the Master ZE. But, this would be affected by the weight of the loads you may be expected to transport with a Luton body. A ‘real-life’ range of 74 miles is more realistic. It’s also better suited to those who will be making shorter journeys and could charge their vehicle overnight. A 7kw wallbox will allow for a full charge of your electric Renault Master Luton in just 6 hours. With a Luton body conversion, you can get an increased load space of up to 19m³. You can convert the Master ZE platform cab any which way you please
