As well as heavy trucks the Renault Trucks line-up encompasses light commercials such as the Maxity and Master. The former is in effect a rebadged Nissan Cabstar while the latter is also sold through Renault car and van dealers.

A Renault dealer since 1990, Coulter became the sole distributor for Renault Trucks in Northern Ireland in 2000. It has sites in Newtownabbey and Portadown.

Meanwhile, Clinical waste management specialist Cliniserve has taken delivery of 27 Renault Master 120.35 vans through Renault Trucks distributor MV Trucks. They replace Ivecos and mean that Cliniserve will be running an all-Renault fleet of 70 vehicles.

The vans are being used to remove clinical waste from doctors and dentists surgeries nationwide.
