New Renault Master conquers 33rd International Van of the Year Award 2025

Verschenen: 16 september 2024

The fourth generation Renault Master was announced as the International Van of the Year 2025 at the ‘Night of the Stars’ Gala Banquet at the IAA Transportation 2024 event in Hannover, Germany on Monday 16th September.

A unanimous decision by the expert adjudication panel representing 25 countries across Europe voted the new Renault Master as their number one choice and for the first time, joint runners-up were elected, with the new Ford E-Transit Custom and Stellantis ProOne Large Van range sharing the second step on the podium. The new Ford Transit Courier and latest Mercedes-Benz eSprinter completed the shortlist of candidates.

It was the fifth occasion in the 33 year history of the International Van of the Year Award (IVOTY) that the Renault Group won this prestigious honour, with the second generation Master successful in 1998, followed by the Trafic in 2002 with the Kangoo Z.E. breaking the mould, becoming the first all-electric commercial vehicle to win this award in 2012, followed by the next Kangoo Van in 2022 (shared with the Mercedes-Benz Citan II) and now with the new Master for 2025.

The IVOTY jury were impressed with the complete new design and high levels of innovation and technology developed for the new Master range, which features advanced aerodynamics, increased usability and enhanced efficiency, space, safety and comfort. Plus the fact that its new modular platform accommodates diesel, electric and hydrogen powertrains. All attributes that meet the criteria for the award programme. Future proofed. Congratulations to Renault Light Commercials on this well-deserved achievement,” commented Jarlath Sweeney, Chairman, International Van of the Year Award jury.

On receiving the IVOTY 2025 trophy at the Messe Hannover event, Heinz-Jürgen Löw, Head of LCV Renault Group said: “Receiving this award for our new Master is truly special and means a lot for us. This recognition is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and passion that went into making this possible.”
