Renault Master with a body by NPS: four-cylinder engine of 2,299 cm³, 3,500 kg maximum gross weight, 4.33 m wheelbase and a top speed of 160 km/h
The basis of this vehicle is the Renault Master, a light commercial vehicle from the French manufacturer Renault, built for many years as a panel van, dropside and bare chassis for conversions. The register lists not Renault itself as the brand, but the body builder NPS, who fitted the chassis with its own body. The recorded registrations span 2021 to 2023.

The engine has four cylinders and a displacement of 2,299 cm³. With a maximum gross weight of 3,500 kg and an unladen weight of only 2,273 kg, the payload comes to a comparatively high 1,227 kg. Length is 7.30 m, wheelbase 4.33 m and width 2.35 m, with a top speed of 160 km/h. The low unladen weight at these dimensions points to a light, more open or lightly clad body rather than a heavy box construction.
At a maximum gross weight of 3,500 kg, the vehicle falls into EU class N1 and can be driven in most European countries on a category B licence. Vehicles in this class are subject to the rules for light commercial vehicles rather than the stricter requirements for trucks above 3.5 t. The high remaining payload of around 1,227 kg allows noticeably more load to be carried than on most heavily clad bodies in this vehicle class.
Buying a used example like this means checking two separate areas: the chassis with its engine, gearbox and brakes as on any Master, and NPS's own body with its own wiring, seals and frame mounting. On a light body it is especially worth checking the frame bolting and mounting points, which are often more lightly dimensioned when the body itself weighs less, as well as corrosion at the joints and the condition of the brakes.
