Production
Manufacturing Locations:
Primarily manufactured at Renault's plants, notably in France (e.g., Batilly) and potentially through partnerships in other regions.
Platform Sharing:
This generation of the Master shares its platform and components with other Groupe Renault vehicles and also with vehicles from its then-partner Nissan (e.g., Nissan Interstar) and other manufacturers like Opel/Vauxhall (Movano) and early Fiat Ducato models during certain development phases.
🏆 Awards & Recognition
Recognitions
Van Of The Year Awards:
While this specific generation might not have won major 'Van of the Year' awards on its own merit, the Master line has consistently been a strong contender and reliable performer in the LCV market.
