Renault Unveils Master H2-Tech Prototype: Leading Hydrogen Mobility With 700 Km Range
Renault has unveiled the Master H2-Tech Prototype at the IAA Transportation event in Hannover. This hydrogen-powered model complements the existing electric and internal combustion engine (ICE) variants. The multi-energy platform of the Renault Master integrates this new architecture without compromising any of its strengths, making it a leading van in Europe.
The new Renault Master is unique in its class as it is manufactured entirely in France. The Batilly plant near Metz produces all body variants on the same assembly line, including internal combustion, electric, and hydrogen models. Engines, gearboxes, and batteries are also made in France, with 84% of suppliers based locally.
The Master H2-Tech Prototype represents a significant innovation developed by HYVIA, a joint venture between Renault Group and Plug. This zero-emission version will be available in 2025 and aims to provide constant operational availability for professional use. With a range of 700 km WLTP* and a recharge time of just 5 minutes, it sets a new benchmark in its segment.
Renault has been a pioneer in electric commercial vehicles for 15 years and is now extending its expertise to hydrogen solutions. The hydrogen version is designed to offer reliability and performance without compromising on use. It includes van, floor cab, chassis cab versions, and customizable options for demanding needs.
The future Renault Master H2-Tech will benefit from Renault's extensive commercial vehicle range and expertise. It will be supported by specialist H2-Tech dealers trained in hydrogen technology for sales and after-sales service. HYVIA's comprehensive offer includes hydrogen vans, refueling stations, carbon-free hydrogen supply, and financing solutions.
This new-generation Dual Power system combines battery and fuel cell energy architecture to deliver an efficient range of up to 700 km WLTP*. An integrated multimedia system optimizes range management and hydrogen consumption. The vehicle's design preserves both the loading area and payload capacity.
Commitment to Sustainability
Renault's commitment to sustainability is evident in the development of the Master H2-Tech Prototype. By integrating hydrogen technology into their multi-energy platform, they aim to provide zero-emission solutions for intensive professional use. This aligns with their broader strategic plan, 'Renaulution,' which focuses on modernity, innovation, and electrification.
HYVIA was established in June 2021 as a joint venture between Renault Group and Plug. It offers a complete ecosystem for hydrogen mobility solutions tailored for European markets. Their services include light commercial vehicles with fuel cells, refueling stations, carbon-free hydrogen supply, fleet financing, and maintenance services.
The introduction of the Master H2-Tech Prototype marks another step forward for Renault in offering diverse energy solutions without compromising on efficiency or performance. As they continue to innovate within the automotive industry, their focus remains on providing sustainable mobility options that meet professional demands.
