During the #solutrans trade fair in #lyon, Mr. Jarlath Sweeney, Chairman of the IVOTY jury, presented Mark Sutcliffe, SVP, LCV Business Unit, #renault Group, with the 2022 International #van of the Year award for New #kangoo #van. The pan-European jury, made up of 24 leading journalists specialised in commercial, industrial, and transport vehicles, placed Renault’s latest #van in front of the 14 light commercial vehicles from 11 different brands that had been released in recent months.
For the IVOTY jury, the main criteria for the International #van of the Year Award is the vehicles’ contribution to the efficiency, safety, sustainability and environmental standards of the light commercial vehicle sector.
This is the 4th time that a #renault commercial vehicle has won the IVOTY award: Master (1998), Trafic (2002), and #kangoo Z.E. (2012).
I would like to thank the entire European jury for having elected the All-New #renault #kangoo #van as ‘International #van of the Year 2022’. This award, which #renault holds in high regard, is a great source of pride for our teams. It rewards their efforts in designing and manufacturing a #van to the highest quality standards and whose innovations, unique on the market, have been designed to enhance the daily life of our professional customers. This prestigious award is the latest recognition of Renault's 120 years of innovation and know-how in the Light Commercial Vehicle segment.
Mark Sutcliffe, SVP, LCV Business Unit, #renault Group

An electric model of the All-New #kangoo #van will be available in spring 2022, with a long version coming later.
THE MAUBEUGE FACTORY, A CENTER OF EXCELLENCE
Since 1997, the #renault factory in Maubeuge, in the north of France, has been the flagship production site for the #kangoo. In an effort to industrialise production of the LCV and minivan models of the All-New #kangoo, as well as vehicles from partner brands Mercedes-Benz and Nissan, and to guarantee the highest-quality production possible, #renault invested €450 million to transform the factory: a new High Speed XXL press line designed for stamping very large parts, 630 new sheet metal robots, new application robots and a new paint quality control line, the modernisation of assembly facilities with full-kitting1 parts supply and a new finishing line. The factory was also fitted with a new battery assembly workshop to prepare for the arrival of the All-New #kangoo Van's electric model, which is set to be sold as of spring 2022.
RENAULT #kangoo, A REAL SUCCESS STORY
Since its launch in 1997, #renault has produced 4.3 million #kangoo worldwide, in both passenger and utility vehicle versions, across three generations. With Maubeuge as its main production facility, #kangoo was also manufactured at the Santa Isabel factory in Córdoba, Argentina.
