At the IAA Transportation event in Hannover, Renault has unveiled the all-new Renault Master H2-Tech Prototype, setting a new benchmark for hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles. Expanding the already versatile Renault Master lineup, which includes internal combustion and electric versions, the hydrogen variant promises to bring zero-emission performance without compromising efficiency.
A Multi-Energy Platform
Renault Master, Europe’s leading van in its segment, is designed with a multi-energy platform that integrates internal combustion, electric, and hydrogen powertrains. Each version, including the upcoming hydrogen model, is manufactured on the same assembly line at Renault’s Batilly plant in France, alongside engines, gearboxes, and batteries that are also locally produced. In fact, 84% of the suppliers are French-based, reinforcing Renault’s commitment to domestic production.
Hydrogen-Powered Innovation
Developed by HYVIA, a joint venture between Renault Group and Plug, the Renault Master H2-Tech will be officially launched in 2025. This hydrogen-powered van aims to revolutionize zero-emission commercial mobility, boasting an industry-leading range of 700 km (WLTP) and the ability to recharge in just 5 minutes. Designed for intensive professional use, the H2-Tech prototype promises uninterrupted operational availability, making it ideal for a range of industries requiring consistent, reliable transportation.
Unparalleled Flexibility for Professionals
The hydrogen-powered Renault Master offers flexibility in various configurations, including van, floor cab, and chassis cab versions. Customizable to meet the specific needs of professionals, it guarantees the same outstanding load space and payload capacity as its diesel and electric counterparts. With a dual power architecture combining battery and hydrogen fuel cell energy, the H2-Tech provides unmatched efficiency, performance, and ease of use, regardless of the driving conditions.
Future-Proof Design and Hydrogen Ecosystem
The integration of hydrogen technology into the Master’s platform from the ground up preserves cargo space while enhancing performance. Additionally, Renault’s advanced multimedia system ensures optimized management of range and hydrogen consumption, making this a highly efficient solution for the future of commercial transportation.
Building on more than three years of experience and customer feedback from earlier hydrogen models launched in 2023, HYVIA’s expertise is reflected in the development of a complete ecosystem. This includes hydrogen stations, carbon-free H2 supply, and financing solutions, making the Renault Master H2-Tech more than just a vehicle—it’s a sustainable, forward-thinking mobility solution.
A New Era of Hydrogen Mobility
As Renault gears up for the official release of the Master H2-Tech in 2025, it’s clear that this hydrogen-powered van will lead the way in zero-emission commercial vehicles. With the ability to cover long distances, refuel quickly, and offer versatile configurations, the Renault Master H2-Tech Prototype represents a giant leap towards a cleaner, more efficient future for professional transport.
Official homologation is in progress, and the new model will be supported by a specialized network of H2-Tech dealers, ensuring comprehensive after-sales service for hydrogen mobility solutions. As Renault continues to innovate with hydrogen technology, the Master H2-Tech solidifies its role as a game-changer in the commercial vehicle market.
