Say au revoir to hotels with the Renault Master Ahorn Camp campervan
Produced by motorhome specialist Erwin Hymer Group, the Ahorn Camp is offered in Europe through the Renault Pro+ dealership network. Available as a campervan or motorhome, the former starts at 52,800 euros (roughly £45,000) and the latter starts at 58,900 euros (roughly £50,000). Advertisement - Article continues below
Ahorn Camp has used the Renault Master as a base for its camper conversions since 2013 and the latest model has been made more fuel efficient thanks to Renault's aerodynamic Aerovan touches. These raise the diesel's fuel economy to 34mpg in the standard van.
Like the Master panel van, the camper here comes with the choice of two diesel units producing 130bhp and 170bhp. A six-speed manual is used for the less-powerful version or there's a nine-speed automatic for the more potent one.
Like the standard Master van, the Ahorn Camp models come equipped with a new 10-inch central touchscreen featuring Renault's latest Google-based infotainment along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Ahorn hasn't said what specific camper-themed upgrades the Master motorhome or campervan will get, but previous examples have come with up to five 'sleeping places', a kitchenette, a toilet, a shower and many other useful bits of equipment like extra tables and fresh water tanks.
Our first look at the new Renault Master Ahorn Camp motorhome range will come at the end of August during the Caravan Salon in Dusseldorf before going on sale in September.

Zelenskiy says Russia seems more inclined now to a ceasefire
KYIV, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Wednesday that Russia seemed "more inclined" to a ceasefire, but details of a potential deal are of great significance and neither Ukraine nor the U.S. should be deceived by Moscow. President Donald Trump said his special envoy Steve Witkoff's meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Wednesday delivered "great progress," but Trump gave no specifics. Following the meeting, Zelenskiy had a call with Trump, joined by European allies. "Ukraine will definitely defend its independence. We all need a lasting and reliable peace. Russia must end the war that it itself started," Zelenskiy said on X. Trump, who has signalled frustration with Putin in recent weeks and has given the Russian president until Friday to make peace with Ukraine or face tougher sanctions, hailed Witkoff's visit as highly productive. But a White House official said the secondary sanctions that Trump has threatened against countries doing business with Russia were still expected to be implemented on Friday. An executive order introducing additional 25% tariffs on India for Russian oil imports was signed on Wednesday. "The pressure on (Russia) works. But the main thing is that they do not deceive us in the details – neither us nor the U.S.," Zelenskiy said. Ukraine has repeatedly called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. Russia, which now controls about a fifth of Ukrainian territory and proceeds with its advances on the eastern front, rejected the idea. National security advisers from Ukraine and allied nations were to meet soon to work out a "joint stance", Zelenskiy added.

Bain & Company given £24m of state contracts after UK ban lifted
Bain & Company has been awarded almost £24 million of state contracts since the British government backed down on a ban on the consultancy over alleged state corruption in South Africa. Bain, based in Boston, Massachusetts, and one of the world's biggest management consultancy firms, was given a three-year ban in August 2022 by the Cabinet Office from bidding for government contracts. It was barred over what Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Cabinet Office minister at the time, alleged was 'grave professional misconduct, which renders its integrity questionable'. • Big three consultancies 'rarely worth hiring', say executives The British government's decision followed an inquiry in South Africa into so-called 'state capture' during the presidency of Jacob Zuma, which criticised the role of international firms, including Bain. The company made a legal challenge against the decision of Boris Johnson's government, which it argued was 'based on a flawed process', and pledged to improve its corporate governance. The ban was abruptly lifted in March 2023 after less than eight months; Whitehall sources said a legal challenge could have left the taxpayer with a large bill. An analysis of state contracts by Tussell, the data company, for The Times shows that Bain has since been awarded nine state contracts worth a combined £23.9 million, including with the Ministry of Defence and the Home Office. Lord Hain, a former Labour minister and anti-apartheid campaigner, who lobbied the Johnson administration and current government over Bain, said he was 'very disappointed' it had received any British state contracts. 'I trust that there will be no more. Just because it's apparently legally not possible to ban them is no reason to award them any government work.' Bain was approached for comment on the UK contracts. A government spokesman said: 'Bain colluded with the former government of South Africa to damage state organisations. Whilst decisions on the exclusion of Bain from bidding for UK government contracts were made by the previous government, the government will take strong action against any future supplier misconduct wherever it is found.' Sources said the MoD contracts were awarded through an existing central government management consultancy framework. The government has new powers under the Procurement Act 2023 to take action against suppliers involved in misconduct but they are not retrospective. In October Hain wrote to Pat McFadden, minister for intergovernmental relations, urging a fresh ban on contracts. In his response in January, McFadden said that he had requested legal advice on options to extend a ban but was told 'no legal route existed'. Bain was accused of undermining the South African Revenue Service (Sars) through consultancy work that allegedly benefited Mr Zuma's allies. The management consultancy firm, which was founded in 1973 and operates in 40 countries, has said that it has taken 'significant measures' to strengthen its governance for public sector contracts. 'While there were no findings from two official commissions of inquiry of any illegal actions by Bain, we accepted responsibility for the events at that time and repaid all fees, with interest, to Sars.' Earlier this month, Bain said that it was 'winding down' consulting operations in South Africa and that its Johannesburg office will become a services hub supporting Bain's global operations.
