IAA Transportation Hanover 2024, HYVIA Unveils the Prototype of the Hydrogen Version of the New Master: Best in Class with 700 km Range and 5 Minutes Refueling Time

Renault Master H2-Tech Prototype is a major zero-emission step advanced, developed by HYVIA, a joint venture between Renault Group and Plug, dedicated to hydrogen mobility. The prototype presented at the IAA Transportation in Hanover prefigures the hydrogen production version of the new Renault Master, which will be marketed in Europe at the end of 2025, to meet the intensive needs of professionals, thanks to:

The best range in the large zero-emission van segment, with a WLTP* range of 700 kilometers.

A refueling time of 5 minutes, equivalent to that of a conventional vehicle, in a network of H2 stations being rolled out across Europe.

Unique versatility to suit the different uses of professional vehicles: van, floor cab and chassis cab versions for a wide range of conversions, such as large volume, tipper, ambulance, gondola or refrigerated transport.

Renault Master H2-Tech Prototype: pioneering H2 technology, made possible by the unique expertise developed by HYVIA over more than 3 years of research and development and customer feedback on the first two versions of the Master H2-Tech.
This evolution brings reliability and performance, thanks to:

Hydrogen architecture fully integrated into the vehicle platform, preserving load volume and payload.

Optimum energy efficiency in battery and fuel cell management, for best-in-class range.

A new-generation fuel cell, produced at the HYVIA plant in Flins, using Plug's proven technology.

A choice of two H2 fuel tanks: 7.5 or 9 kg, to meet different range requirements, thanks to our partners OPmobility and FORVIA.

An integrated, fluid and intuitive multimedia system for professionals, for optimized management of range and H2 consumption.

Renault Master H2-Tech is supported by the Renault brand. From the end of 2025, the production vehicle will be manufactured entirely at the Renault Group plant in Batilly, France, and marketed by Renault.

Production at the Renault Group's Batilly plant guarantees the new vehicle will benefit from the expertise and flexibility of the plant's industrial system, enabling the production of combustion, electric and hydrogen versions of the Master on the same line.

Through sales and after-sales service by specialist H2-Tech dealers, this vehicle will be fully integrated into the Renault brand's commercial vehicle range and will benefit from all the expertise of a network trained in the challenges of hydrogen.

Renault Master H2-Tech: still driven by HYVIA's H2 expertise 
The production vehicle will also be marketed by HYVIA at the end of 2025, building on its H2 expertise and its ability to initiate, develop and support complex H2 ecosystems, with a unique and comprehensive offering.

This vehicle will enhance HYVIA's current commercial offer of hydrogen vans, available for sale since April 2023 and already adopted by major players and strategic partners in the H2 sector.

A range of H2 stations is available for professionals, to reinforce the existing network of public H2 stations, including HYWELL developed with Atawey, whose deployment has already begun. 

The supply of carbon-free hydrogen has the support of Plug and the HYVIA plant in Flins.

Financing solutions are available for tailor-made offers to support H2.

Meet us on the Renault / HYVIA stand (E70, Hall 13) at the IAA Transportation in Hanover, Germany, from September 16 to 22, 2024.
