The Renault Mascott was a light truck produced by Renault Trucks . It replaced the Renault Messenger , which was based on the Renault Master I.

Despite the obvious external similarities with the Renault Master II, technically it differs significantly from it. The chassis and components of the Mascott are built on a solid ladder frame that comes from the Iveco Daily III. The slightly modified cabin or body from the master is then built on this. Here is the difference in the front grille due to the different position of the engine. This is installed lengthways in the Mascott and distributes its power by means of rear-wheel drive or to both axles by means of all-wheel drive . The first versions were powered by a 2.8 liter diesel engine (the SOFIM 8140 ). In 2004 a facelift took place, with which the front design and the interior were changed, similar to the Master II. The Iveco engines were replaced by a Nissan 3.0 liter diesel engine from the Nissan Patrol , which in the Mascott had 115 hp and 156 hp performed. In 2007 the engine was revised and now developed 130 hp and 150 hp.

The total permissible weight of the Mascott was 3.5 to 6.5 tons, depending on the version, and four different wheelbases (3130 mm, 3630 mm, 4130 mm and 4630 mm) were possible. In addition to single or double cab flatbed trucks (automobile) , a box truck with a 12 m³ loading volume was also available ex works. Various bodywork companies produced various bodies on the chassis , in particular as minibuses and fire engines .

Following the takeover of Renault Trucks by Volvo , the Mascott was also offered through the Volvo Trucks distribution network in some countries. As the Renault Master Maxi, however, some versions of the Mascott were also sold through the Renault car dealer network. At the end of 2010, the Renault Master III with rear-wheel drive replaced the Renault Mascott.
