Tested since 2014, Groupe Renault’s hydrogen technology was developed in partnership with Symbio, a Groupe Michelin subsidiary.
The vehicles are equipped with a range extender fuel cell providing electric and thermal power of 10 kW, increasing the range of the Master and Kangoo hydrogen vehicles to more than 350 km.
Expected in first-half 2020, the Master ZE Hydrogen will triple the range from 120 km to 350 km and will be available in van (two versions) and chassis cab (two versions).
From the end of 2019, Renault maintains the Kangoo ZE Hydrogen will have the best real-life range of any electric van on the market at 370km (vs 230 km WLTP with Kangoo ZE).
“Groupe Renault completes its range of electric light commercial vehicles with the launch of Renault Master ZE Hydrogen and Kangoo ZE Hydrogen,” said Alliance SVP, Renault-Nissan LCV Business Unit, Denis Le Vot.
“These vehicles provide professionals with all the range they require for their long-distance journeys as well as record charging times.”
