Good news for fans of low cost vans: Dacia is preparing to enter the van market

THE Dacia Duster is hoping to clean up sales among those who want a bargain van from a well-known manufacturer.

Renault will use the CV show at the NEC to launch its Dacia Duster van.

Now it believes the time is right to bring its commercial vans to the UK

In 2012, Renault told Business Vans it had no immediate plans for a commercial version of the Duster SUV but would be watching the market.

Now it believes the time is right to bring its commercial vans to the UK after developing a strong sales presence with its cars and dealers.

The news will be welcomed by the dealers in particular as it’s an important widening of the range when the car market is already highly competitive.

Renault is keeping  lid on the precise specification of the new vans but they will be based on the powertrain and trim of the cars, albeit with stronger suspension to cope with their role.
