Choose the Proace if...
The Proace gives Toyota a stake in the medium-van class using Stellantis-group platform sharing, competing directly with the Transit Custom, Trafic and Vivaro on payload and load volume rather than on any distinct Toyota engineering.
Figures cover L1 and L2 wheelbase diesel derivatives and the battery-electric version; a shorter-range 50kWh electric option has a slightly higher payload than the 75kWh pack.
Full specifications →Choose the Movano if...
The Movano mirrors the Renault Master's engineering and payload spread, and its Heavy derivatives at 4.25t GVW give UK fleets a way to boost payload past 2 tonnes without a driver needing a C1 licence upgrade beyond the standard 3.5t threshold on the base models.
Figures span L2-L4 lengths, H1-H3 roof heights and 3.5t/4.25t GVW derivatives in both diesel and electric; drivers of the 4.25t derivatives need a category C1 licence as these exceed the standard 3,500 kg car-licence limit.
