Renault reveals its Express


Renault is introducing a new small van in Europe. The Ex- press van has 1.91m floor loading length (with solid parti- tion), 716mm width for the sliding side door with cargo vol- ume from 3.3 to 3.7m³. Payload is up to 780kg in the petrol version and 650kg in the diesel version. In Europe, the Express Van will be available with the


1.3 TCe 100 FAP petrol and 1.5 Blue dCi 75 and 95 diesel engines, with a six-speed manual gearbox. The Ecolead- er diesel 1.5 Blue dCi 75 engine helps to reduce fuel con- sumption by limiting speed to 100 km/h. An electric op- tion is not available. Renault says the new van “significantly increases the


driver’s visual control over his environment” with, among other things, Rear View Assist which shows rearward vis- ibility on a screen located in place of the rear-view mir- ror. The Blind Spot Warning alerts the driver of potential dangers on both sides of the vehicle, while the Wide View Mirror helps the driver to see the right hand side blind spot. The Reversing Camera simplifies parking manoeu- vres with image feedback integrated into the multimedia system or the interior rear-view mirror.


Renault will unveil details of its new van family at the end of March.

Dacia has released details of its Duster Commercial, the second time the off-roader has been converted to a prac- tical LCV. Based on the passenger version of the Duster SUV, the LCV version brings van customers a rugged vehi- cle with a practical cargo area offering 1.5m3


and payload up to 492kg. The Duster Commercial also benefits from the same specification as the passenger model. Available in a choice of Essential and Comfort trim levels, engine options in- clude TCe petrols and Blue dCi diesels. The diesel version is available with two- or four-wheel drive. The Renault Tech factory conversion sees the removal of the rear seats to open up as much cargo space as possi- ble. The floor is fitted on site and is completely flat with a carpet cover. The Duster Commercial also features a bulk- head with load stop and a removable load cover. Maximum load bay length is 1,557mm.

Although naming and detailed product information will be released closer to the launch date, Nissan has confirmed the range will include all-electric and internal combustion engine options, as well as commercial and passenger vehicle variants, with various size combinations. Like the current Nissan NV250


van, which has been manufactured at the Renault Maubeuge plant since 2019, the next-generation model will be built on an Alliance platform along- side the next-generation Renault Kan- goo.


Duster Commercial is available to order now and priced from £15,309 OTR.
