[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Yuri] GS Retail's T-commerce channel GS My Shop announced on the 10th that it will exclusively broadcast the 15-seater bus 'Renault Master (MASTER)', which can be used for various purposes, for the first time in the industry.
GS My Shop stated, "From 8:30 PM on the 12th, we will broadcast the 'Renault Master Bus', Renault Samsung Motors' representative commercial vehicle," adding, "The base price starts at 46.99 million KRW, and customers who wish to purchase can make a consultation reservation during the broadcast."
The 'Renault Master' is a commercial vehicle loved in Europe for 40 years. Last year, 113,000 units were sold in more than 50 countries worldwide. In Korea, Renault Samsung Motors has been importing and selling the bus model since 2019.
The 'Renault Master Bus' features C-shaped daytime running lights and a radiator grille. All seats are equipped with 3-point seat belts, and its front-wheel drive allows relatively safe driving on snowy, rainy, or hilly roads. Using Renault Samsung Motors' nationwide AS network, it offers free warranty coverage for 3 years or 100,000 km at a total of 86 locations.
Available colors include White, Gray, Black, and Yellow. GS My Shop explained that it can be used not only as a camper van but also as a daycare and academy bus, travel agency tour bus, rural public village bus, hospital and bus for the disabled, among others.
Meanwhile, GS My Shop will draw three customers who complete delivery by October 30th from those who leave purchase consultations and award them 1 million KRW in cash. They provide free installation of navigation and rear cameras worth 850,000 KRW and support 1.5 million KRW for car insurance fees. Additionally, all customers who participate in test drives by the 30th will receive a premium handy wireless vacuum cleaner.
Yoon Choong-sik, MD of GS Retail Service Team, said, "'Renault Master Bus' is nicknamed the 'Master of Transformation' because it can be used in various ways from camper vans to shuttle buses," adding, "We hope that many customers will take this opportunity to bring new changes to their business, as we have prepared it with reasonable prices and exclusive benefits."
