Renault Master Citybus E-Tech

The Renault Master Citybus E-Tech moves the Master platform firmly into small-bus territory. Developed by Renault Vehicle Innovation and manufactured in France, it uses a purpose-designed full low-floor passenger body rather than a conventional van-based minibus conversion. With capacity for up to 22 passengers, it is aimed at urban public transport, local authority routes, town-centre services and other operations where a full-size bus would be unnecessary.


Renault Master Citybus E-Tech

The Master Citybus E-Tech is the larger and more urban-focused member of Renault Vehicle Innovation's new electric Master passenger range. Its integral low-floor architecture, wide passenger entrance and public-transport-focused interior distinguish it clearly from a conventional Master minibus conversion. Designed for frequent-stop urban work, it combines seating and standing capacity with wheelchair accessibility and the manageable dimensions of a small bus.
