Renault is offering the electric Master ZE in a 3.5-tonne variant and as a chassis cab, expanding the line up to eight models.

The French manufacturer claims to offer the widest variety of conversions of large electric vans.

Previously offered in only a 3.1-tonne derivative, the zero-emission Master ZE is now available with a 3.5-tonne gross vehicle weight across an increased range of body styles. The uprated capability brings the Master ZE in line with its diesel equivalent while also providing an enhanced additional payload of 375Kg.

Its new range offers the choice of panel van, platform cab and chassis cab, with three lengths (L1, L2, L3), two heights (H1, H2) and a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 3.1 or 3.5 tonnes, allowing up to 1,700kg of payload.

The Master ZE provides a WLTP range of 75 miles from its 33kWh battery and full recharge in six hours from a 7kW Wallbox or public charging point. Renault says this makes it ideal for zero-emission-in-use last-mile deliveries.

The new chassis cab version is available with a maximum payload of 1,620Kg (before conversion). It allows for a whole host of conversions including Tipper, Dropside and Luton Box Van.  A Master ZE equipped with a 20-cubic-metre large volume box and a tail lift would provide a 1,000Kg payload.

Two platform cab versions are now available with a payload up to 1,740 kg. This increased payload allows for larger conversions, including the possibility of a Luton Low-Loader of up to 20 cubic metres, with the advantage of a low loading sill.

The four panel van versions offer volumes between nine and 13 cubic metres, with up to 1,490Kg of payload.
