The Master has a 30kW fuel cell, a 33kWh battery and tanks containing 6kg of hydrogen (4 tanks of 1.5 kg).

It is produced in France, at the Batilly plant with electric and hydrogen integration is by PVI, a Renault Group subsidiary in Gretz-Armainvilliers. The e-motor is produced at Cleon and fuel cell assembly will begin at Flins by the end of the year. The hydrogen tanks will be sourced in France, from Faurecia.

Hydrogen supplied to the refuelling stations will either be generated on site using water electrolysis or supplied in bulk using gaseous tube trailers. The system compresses H2 into storage, before dispensing it into the vehicle when needed.

The stations will be available to purchase, lease or rent. They will be assembled in France, at Flins.
