Hachette 1:43 Renault 1400 KG: Butagaz Promotional Vehicle

The Renault 1 000 Kg is light van, initially of a one ton capacity, introduced by the manufacturer in 1947. A 1,400 Kg version followed in 1949, and the Renault 1,400 Kg soon became the more popular choice. A name change in 1956 saw the vans branded as the Renault Voltigeur (1,000 Kg) and the Renault Goélette (1,400 Kg), but in retrospect the Renault 1,000 Kg name is frequently preferred.

Butagaz is a French company created in 1931. Owned by the DCC Energy group since 2015, it is present on the liquefied petroleum gas market  (propane and butane ), natural gas and electricity in France, for individuals and professionals.

Shell creates in 1931 the company URG (Company for the rational use of gases), which will take in the 1980s the name of Butagaz. It was created to bottle liquefied petroleum gases ( butane and propane ) produced by the French refineries of the oil tankers Shell and BP , which it then sells on behalf of these two companies: it therefore acts as an agent for these two companies.

In 1969, the company acquired a mascot, a blue bear, which illustrated the group's advertising campaigns and communication media. In 2005, she took the name of "Bob" and experienced a modernization of her look. In 2012, to mark the 80th anniversary of the brand, Butagaz changed its logo. 

In 2015, the company was sold to the DCC Energy group
