Renault vans and utility versions up to 3.5 t (class N1) – collective page for the EU light-van class: from R4/R5 Bestel conversions through the Iveco Daily-based Mascott to Trafic and Master, engines from 18 to 125 kW, gross weights up to 3.5 t
The EU vehicle class N1 covers light commercial vehicles up to 3.5 t gross vehicle weight; this page is a collective page built from registration data (Netherlands, Finland) bundling every Renault range recorded in that class. Renault was founded in 1899 in Boulogne-Billancourt near Paris, was a state-owned company from its 1945 nationalisation until privatisation in 1996, and today is the parent of the Renault Group. The register holds Dutch "Bestel" conversions of passenger ranges (4, 5, 21 Nevada Bestel = estate-based commercial versions of the R4, R5 and R21), plus the standalone Mascott, a light truck sold between 1999 and 2010 that was technically based on the Iveco Daily, aimed at the 3.0 to 3.5-tonne bracket. The classic van ranges Trafic and Master also belong to this class by manufacturer logic, though they are not named in the visible model excerpt of the dump.

The register lists 984 versions, with recorded outputs of 18 to 125 kW, displacements of 747 to 3,320 cm³ across 4 to 6 cylinders, kerb weights of 600 to 3,400 kg and gross vehicle weights of 870 to 3,500 kg; width ranges from 1,360 to 2,560 mm, length from 3,650 to 7,620 mm.
Within this class Renault covers everything from a passenger-estate commercial conversion to the Mascott chassis for box-body builds, competing against the badge-engineered sister models from Nissan/Opel (Trafic/Vivaro) as well as Peugeot/Citroën and VW.
On a used example, what matters on the older Bestel conversions is the condition of the retrofitted bulkhead and load floor, on the Mascott the clutch, gearbox and timing-chain issues typical of Iveco Daily mechanicals, plus brakes and corrosion on sills and door bottoms. Parts for the newer ranges are well supplied through the Renault network, more limited for the older Bestel variants.
