Will we see a new large van from a Daimler and Renault partnership soon?

Another exciting collaboration may be in the cards for Renault. Hot on the heels of the Renault Kangoo and Mercedes-Benz Citan partnership, Daimler and Renault are now holding talks towards teaming up to build a large van together. I stumbled across this latest news in an article posted on the website, Carscoop. You can read the full article titled, "Daimler in Talks with Renault to Build Large Van Together" written by Dan Mihalascu by clicking here.

According to the post, Daimler's contract with VW will run its course and end after 2016. Mercedes-Benz Sprinter shares its newest infrastructure with VW’s Crafter van, but VW will continue making the Crafter vans by themselves going forward. With the Crafter van currently being built at a Mercedes-Benz plant along with the Sprinter, things could be very interesting indeed once the partnership is over.

For those that require some serious load space with smooth manoeuvrability and comfort, then a large van is the way to go. We offer a wide range of new vans for lease or contract hire at great prices, including the VW Crafter and Renault Master vans.

If you could team up your favourite van manufacturers and take bits from one model and create the ultimate commercial van, what would it look like? Share your ideas for the perfect van by posting a comment below or you can find me on Twitter.
