Renault's Maubeuge plant has produced its millionth second-generation Kangoo.
Initially released in 1998 and then redesigned in 2007, the Kangoo is now available in two forms: a leisure activity vehicle for retail customers and an LCV for business customers. The LCV comes in a choice of three sizes – Compact, Express and Maxi – as well as an electric version, the ZE.
