Renault has revealed two new electric LCVs, the upgraded Kangoo Van ZE and the Master ZE, writes Trish Whelan.
Debuted at the Brussels Motor Show, the Kangoo gets a new 32A charger which gives a full charge in six hours, as well as a new battery and motor that extends the range by 50pc to a rated 270km.
In a first for LCVs, it also gets a heat pump, which allows the air-conditioning to be used without cutting into the vehicle’s range.
The Kangoo ZE has been Europe’s best-selling small electric van for the past six years, and global sales totalled 23,219 units delivered to the end of June 2016.
The new Master ZE will have a rated range of 200km, and will be available in three lengths and two heights.
