There are several 4.5- and 5.0-tonne vans available, including Renault's own Master, while IVECO will sell you a Daily with gross weights of up to 7.2 tonnes gvw. With the Master 6×2, Renault Trucks is looking to maximise payload and load volumes, while retaining that van outline. The chassis is produced by Dutch converter Nefra Vehicle Technology, using the front-wheel drive Master as a base. This allows Nefra to offer a low-floor design, with a choice of standard or wide-track rear axles to provide maximum space between the wheel arches. The rear axles can be steel or air-suspended, with the majority of European buyers opting for air. Equipped with a 30m~3 PD Stevens box body and integral tail-lift, the Master 6×2 offers a payload of 2,995kg. A similarly equipped 7.5-tonne Renault Midlum has a payload of around 2,500kg. The majority of Master customers probably won't require a tail-lift either, boosting payload further.
