The first generation Vauxhall Movano is Renault Master II’s twin. This was because during the design phase of the new generation Renault had to find a new partner with whom it could finish the project due to high costs. Opel, more specifically General Motors, to which it belonged, began cooperating with Renault in 1996. Main effect of this was the Opel Arena / Vauxhall Arena based on the twin Renault Traffic model. A year later, in 1997, Vauxhall introduced to the world a completely new model of the Vauxhall Movano commercial vehicle. Vauxhall Movano is known in the rest of the world as Opel Movano.
