Renault Master E-Tech Electric Range Upgraded with New 87 kWh Battery and V2G Capability

Renault Group has enhanced the performance of its France-built Renault Master E-Tech electric range by introducing a new 87 kWh battery manufactured in Europe and assembled at the Renault Batilly plant. The updated battery adopts mid-nickel battery chemistry, delivering improved thermal management while optimizing charging performance. These enhancements are designed to improve the efficiency of the electric commercial vehicle without changing its underlying technical specifications.

From September 2026, depending on individual market availability, Renault Master will also support the new Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) function. This capability enables compatible vehicles to exchange electricity with the power grid when supported by local infrastructure and regulations. The feature expands the vehicle's energy management capabilities and represents another step in Renault's continued development of connected electric mobility solutions.

Renault has also expanded the Renault Master E-Tech lineup by introducing a new chassis-cab version equipped with a 40 kWh battery. This new model complements the existing 87 kWh version, giving commercial customers an additional battery option that can better match varying operational requirements and application needs.

Beyond the powertrain updates, the E-Tech electric models and the automatic gasoline and diesel variants now feature a redesigned centre console. The updated layout increases available cabin space by 90 mm, improving practicality for drivers. Renault Master is also equipped with a driver attention monitoring camera to support vehicle safety, while the visible upper dashboard now incorporates 20% recycled plastic recovered from end-of-life vehicles, reinforcing Renault's ongoing sustainability initiatives.
