FORVIA is proud to equip the 2025 van of the year, New Renault Master
Awarded Van of the Year 2025, the new Renault Master incorporates pivotal technologies developed by FORVIA, showcasing our extensive range of solutions for such vehicles.
We are proud to supply the front seats for this van. Building on our partnership with Renault Group, we have designed the seats and assembled the front-row line — from individual seats to benches — and manufactured key elements like seat frames, padding, and covers. These products highlight our expertise in seating solutions for light commercial vehicles as well.
This van is equipped with sensors supplied by our FORVIA HELLA teams, such as advanced rain-light-sensors (RLS) capable of detecting different rain conditions and automatically adjusting the windscreen wipers. The RLS activates the low beam in the dark or when entering tunnels.
The interior of this vehicle is also equipped with FORVIA technologies: our interior teams have supplied the dashboard of the van as well as the wireless charging system to offer passengers a modern and comfortable experience.
Finally, in its hydrogen version, produced by Hyvia (a joint venture between Renault Group and Plug Power), the van is equipped with our hydrogen storage systems (holding up to 9 kg of hydrogen across five tanks), delivering exceptional capacity for light commercial vehicles with high daily usage. These tanks are produced in France at our Allenjoie facility, which was inaugurated a year ago.
We are proud to work with strong partners such as Renault Group and Hyvia. Congratulations on this well-deserved award! We look forward to seeing this vehicle on the road.
