Opel Movano (badged in the United Kingdom as the
Vauxhall Movano), and from Renault's closely related partner
Nissan, from whom it was available as the
Nissan Interstar from 2003. This arrangement mirrors the collaboration between these companies on the Master's smaller counterpart, the
Renault Trafic; within the industry, similar platform sharing arrangements existed between Fiat and Peugeot/Citroën, and also between Volkswagen and Mercedes. The second generation of the Renault Master and the second generation of the
Iveco Daily share many panels and some components of the cab, including the doors due to an agreement between
Iveco and Renault stipulated in July 1994. The agreement provided for the production and sharing of common components for a total of 120 thousand pieces a year produced in the various factories of Brescia (Italy, Iveco), Suzzara (Italy, Iveco), Valladolid (Spain, Iveco) and Batilly (France, Renault factory). The Master used the
Renault S-Type engine in S9U and S8W/S9W versions, the
G-Type engine (G9T) and the
Nissan YD engine. Displacements available (not across all chassis/body sizes) included 2.2, 2.5, and 2.8 litres with a range of power outputs. In certain markets it was also available with the
Renault F-Type engine in the F9Q versions, the 1.9 liters engine, both dti and dci with power range between 80 respectively 82 hp. The van received a mid life major facelift in the end of 2003, with the headlight area being heavily restyled (together with cosmetic changes to rear lights, wing mirrors, and dashboard), resulting in the front end somewhat resembling the smaller Trafic. Like its predecessor, the van was available in a number of sizes and configurations, and was a popular base for conversion to
ambulance bodywork. For the facelifted Master, the 2.8-litre engine option was replaced in some markets with the 3.0-litre ZD3 engine derived from the
Nissan ZD30 engine, variants ZD3 200 or 202 for transverse mount front wheel drive arrangements and variants; 600, 604, 606 or 608 for rear wheel drive arrangements. The grille was redesigned in 2007 on Renault-badged models.

Renault Mascott |5-speed manual |6-speed manual }} }}
Renault Trucks marketed a heavy duty 3.0 L diesel version of the Master with rear-wheel drive and sold it as the
Mascott. Other names for this version are:
Master Propulsion (France and others), and
Master Pro (The Netherlands). It retained the name
Master in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, and Slovenia,
Master LDT in Belgium,
Master Maxi in Poland, and
Master Propulsion in Spain, France, Italy, and Réunion. Available in Europe between 1999 and 2013, it was positioned between the Master and the larger
Renault Midlum. It was available in two states of tune, either or with five and six speeds respectively. File:Opt- Renault, stěhovák.JPG|Pre-facelift Renault Mascott
