Renault has launched the Dokker Van in the Middle East as it eyes a greater share of the light-commercial-vehicle market.

With a payload of 750kg, the van has a load carrying capacity of 3.3 m3 and a load length of 1.9m. The Dokker van can also be ordered with a folding passenger ‘Easy Seat’ that can be removed, extending the load capacity to 3.9 m3 and the load length to 3.11m.

“The new Renault Dokker Van is the perfect van for SMEs to large companies, seeking an affordable, reliable and practical business companion,” said Hakim Boutehra, managing director at Renault Middle East.

In addition, the Dokker offers sliding door functionality and a twin-door tailgate that opens at 180 degrees, enhancing the ease of loading the vehicle.

Under the hood, the van is equipped with a 1.6L petrol engine offering a torque of 128.5Nm at 2,800rpm, and a maximum power of 85hp (62kW) at 5,000rpm.

The Dokker is on sale starting this month in the GCC, and is offered with a 3-year/100,000km standard manufacturer’s warranty.
