SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- June 15, 2026 -- Renault is launching "converted by Renault," a structured range of factory-built light commercial vehicle conversions available across its European dealer network. The programme consolidates the brand's conversion capabilities — including its Qstomize subsidiary and a 300-strong certified body converter network — under a single ordering and warranty framework. For business customers, it means shorter delivery times, a unified invoice, and a single point of contact within the Renault network.

Conversions Sit at the Core of Renault's LCV Business

One in every two Renault light commercial vehicles is converted before it reaches a business customer. That figure makes the conversion segment structurally central to how Renault sells and delivers its commercial range — not a secondary service tier, but a primary part of the product offer.
