RENAULT HAS LAUNCHED updated versions of its Clio and Kangoo vans and has enhanced its environmental credentials by launching biodiesel models of the Trafic and Master.
The diminutive Clio Campus, based on the company's passenger car, gets a smartly restyled front and rear as well as a newly standard multi-function trip computer to add to ABS with electronic brake distribution (EBD).
Power comes from a 1.5-litre dCi unit producing 68hp with maximum torque of 160Nm.
Moving up a category, the exterior of the Kangoo sees minimal changes with only crystal indicator casings marking out the new model.Again, the 1.5-litre dCi unit is underneath the bonnet, producing either 60 or 85hp; a higher payload version, rated at 800kg, will be available from Spring 2007.
Renault has also launched versions of its Master and Trafic van ranges designed to run on up to 30% biodiesel fuel blends. The Trafic 2.0 dCi B30 will be available with ratings of 90 and 115hp, with the Master 2.5 dCi B30 coming in at 100 and 120hp. Initially available in France, Renault is still considering the fiscal issues before committing the B30 to the UK market.
However, French rival Citroen beat Renault to the punch by announcing last year that all its new UK diesel commercial vehicles are designed to run on a 30% proportion of biodiesel.
