The Renault Master has been chosen as the winner of the 2025 International Van of the Year (IVOTY) prize.
The Master is said to have impressed the judges with its design, usability, and compatibility with multiple fuel types.
It defeated a shortlist which also included the Ford Transit Courier and E-Transit Custom, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and the Stellantis Pro One large van range.
IVOTY jury chairman Jariath Sweeney said: “The IVOTY jury were impressed with the completely new design and high levels of innovation and technology developed for the new Master, 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.
“Congratulations to Renault Light Commercials on this well-deserved achievement.”
Renault brand SVP for light commercial vehicles Heinz-Jurgen Low said: “This is a wonderful reward and a true tribute to all the teams who worked on this project.
“New Master is a perfect example of what has made Renault’s light commercial vehicles amazing for more than 120 years: they are innovative, disruptive, multi-energy and designed to be customised in practically endless ways to meet each of our professional customers’ individual wants and needs.”
