· To build on the success it is enjoying in France, Dacia has further extended its utility vehicle line-up with a range of 5 new converted vehicles.
· Dacia has introduced a new range of converted vehicles alongside Logan van and Logan pick-up which were launched in France at the beginning of 2009:
- Logan van Frigorifique – The isothermal case of this refrigerated van has a carrying capacity of 1.9 cubic metres for the controlled positive temperature transport of perishable goods.
- Logan pick-up Benne – This tipper’s aluminium tipper unit, sloped sides and payload of 650kg will appeal to building industry professionals.
- Logan pick-up Grand Volume – With a carrying capacity of 4 cubic metres and a payload of 750kg, this version of Logan pick-up is perfect for delivery use.
- Logan pick-up Hard Top – The removable hard-top bed cover opens in three places to ensure easy access to the cargo area which has a carrying capacity of up to 2 cubic metres.
- Logan MCV TPMR – This version of Dacia’s estate is designed for people with reduced mobility and can seat one person in a wheelchair thanks to its access ramp and bespoke rear seating arrangement.
· In the space of just four years since the brand’s launch in France in 2005, Dacia has emerged as one of the French automobile market’s leading players. It is currently France’s seventh best-selling brand with a market share of 4.12% per cent (passenger cars + LCVs) in August 2009.
Dacia has now broadened its French market line-up with a range of converted vehicles based on Logan van and Logan pick-up and developed in conjunction with specialist body-builders (like ECP or Koll?). Logan MCV
TPMR is developed by Renault Tech.
In addition to meeting the highly specific needs of their customers, converted Dacia vehicles deliver the usual acclaimed qualities associated with the brand, namely an unbeatable equipment/performance/space package
for their price and irreproachable reliability.
Conversions are available for all versions of standard production Dacias (engines, equipment levels), and naturally come with a three-year or 100,000km manufacturer and a two-year body-builder warranty.
Dacia conversions meet the same exacting standards of quality, reliability and safety as all the vehicles produced by the Renault group which works with reputed body-builders whose products comply with strict homologation
criteria.
Logan van Frigorifique
Based on Logan van, the Logan van Frigorifique refrigerated van is ideal for the controlled positive temperature transport (zero to 12°C) of perishable foodstuffs a nd products.
This conversion features a Class A isothermal case and a refrigeration unit.
Logan van Isotherme which only features a Class A isothermal case is also available.
Logan van Frigorifique’s isothermal case ensures a generous carrying capacity of 1.9 cubic metres and a payload of 620 kg which are particularly competitive figures for a van of just 4,450mm in length. Thanks to its ability to carry loads of up to 1,810mm in length, Logan van Frigorifique will appeal particularly to traders who are called upon to transport long, bulky loads.
Access to the cargo area is facilitated thanks to its functional doors:
- the asymmetric rear hinged doors open to three different angles (stops at 40, 90 and 180 degrees) depending on the needs of the moment and type of cargo.
- passenger car-type doors on either side permit easy access to the foremost part of the cargo area.
All doors are fitted with seals to ensure perfect insulation of the isothermal case.
The high-density polyurethane foam insulation panels feature antibacterial walls for impeccable hygiene, while the isothermal case can be hosed down thanks to a drainage channel built into the substructure.
The fridge unit is housed at the front of the roof in an aerodynamic fairing which blends harmoniously with Logan van’s original lines. The comfort of the two occupants hasn’t suffered in any way thanks to thorough soundproofing
and the carefully designed cabin roof.
A choice of two ThermoKing fridge units are available (Road or Road & Stand-By) in a choice of two power outputs (855W, 1,050W).
Logan van Frigorifique is available with either petrol (1.4 MPI 75hp, 1.6 MPI 90hp) or diesel power (dCi 70, dCi 85), and pre-tax prices start from EUR13,500.
Logan van Isotherme is available with the same engines at prices starting from EUR9,300.
Logan pick-up Benne
The tipper version of Dacia’s compact and practical pick-up is ideal for building industry professionals, landscaping and garden-maintenance specialists, road maintenance departments, waste collectors, etc.
Logan pick-up Benne features an aluminium tipper-unit mounted on aluminium beams attached to the chassis and boasts a payload of 650kg. The sides of the tipper-unit are 410mm high and form a sloped profile with a view to
optimizing load stability. The tailgate unlocks automatically and the tipper-unit is operated via a control unit located inside the cabin. The tipper-unit, which is raised by a hydraulic hoist, tips to an angle of 47 degrees. Safety is
ensured by a support strut which holds the tipper-unit in place should the hydraulic system fail.
Logan pick-up Benne is available with either petrol (1.6 MPI 90hp) or diesel power (dCi 70, dCi 85), and pre-tax prices start from EUR10,390.

Logan pick-up Grand Volume is fitted with a polyester Luton-type box unit attached to the pick-up sides. Access to this compartment is via two rear doors, one of which incorporates a third brake light for greater visibility.
Thanks to a maximum load length at floor level of 1,790mm, a maximum load height of 1,570mm and a cargo area volume of 4 cubic metres, Logan pick-up Grand Volume delivers an extremely competitive carrying capacity for the vehicle’s compact dimensions.

Logan MCV TPMR (wheelchair access vehicle)
Logan MCV TPMR was developed by Renault Tech which produces vehicle arrangements aimed at facilitating the mobility of people with reduced mobility. Dacia has consequently been able to benefit from the significant expertise Renault has acquired thanks to its long experience of wheelchair access conversions.
Based on Logan MCV, Logan MCV TPMR can carry one person in a wheelchair, plus five other occupants.
The principal functional features of this vehicle include a lowered floor for additional headroom, a manually deployed ramp, built-in safety features such as lashing strap reels, a safety belt and a tyre repair kit (instead of the spare wheel which is removed to allow the floor to be lowered).
