The Renault Master H2-Tech will be fully integrated into Renault’s commercial vehicle range and will be marketed in 2025.
Hydrogen-Powered Renault Master H2-Tech Unveiled at IAA Transportation 2024
The prototype of the hydrogen-powered Renault Master H2-Tech is officially introduced at the IAA Transportation 2024 in Hannover, Germany.
This world premiere of the Master H2-Tech Prototype announces the features of this new zero-emission version of the Master, developed by HYVIA, a joint venture between Renault Group and Plug dedicated to hydrogen mobility.
Renault has approached hydrogen solutions like it had approached the electric vehicle sector: offering a new energy source with zero compromises on use, accompanied by an ecosystem built for and with the professional customer.
This hydrogen version has been designed to offer constant operational availability and total peace of mind for the intensive use of professionals.
With the best range in its segment, 700 km of WLTP autonomy, whatever the weather conditions, and a recharge time of 5 minutes, Renault Master confirms its status as the new benchmark whatever the energy that drives it.
This zero-emission version is adapted to the various intensive uses of professionals: van, floor cab, and chassis cab versions, and customizable for the most demanding needs.
The New Renault Master H2-Tech Prototype is made possible by the H2 expertise developed by HYVIA over more than 3 years, based on customer feedback on the first two H2-Tech versions, available since 2023.
This innovation offers reliability and performance, thanks to a hydrogen architecture that is fully integrated into the vehicle platform right from the design stage, preserving both the loading area and the payload.
The new-generation Dual Power: Battery & fuel cell energy architecture is energy-efficient, offering an unprecedented range of up to 700 km WLTP, with an integrated multimedia system for optimized management of range and H2 consumption.
The future Renault Master H2-Tech will be fully integrated into Renault‘s commercial vehicle range and will be supported by the brand’s commercial expertise.
Renault Master H2-Tech will continue to be driven by HYVIA’s H2 expertise, building on its ability to initiate, develop and support H2 ecosystems with a unique and comprehensive offer: hydrogen vans, H2 stations, supply of carbon-free hydrogen, and financing solutions.
The new Renault Master is the only vehicle in its class that is made in France. The multi-energy platform (internal combustion, electric, and hydrogen) and all body variants are manufactured on the same assembly line at the Batilly plant (near Metz). Engines, gearboxes, and batteries are made in France, and 84% of suppliers are based in France.
While internal combustion and electric versions are already on the market, the new Renault Master will be marketed in a hydrogen H2-Tech version in 2025.
