VW Truck & Bus at the IAA Commercial Vehicles Unveiling 2016 – Video
Not only will Volkswagen Truck & Bus brands be displaying a firework of innovations with their digital solutions, but also with the vehicles themselves. These include the following highlights:
MAN will be presenting its new TGE for the first time. In the range of models offered by the Munich-based truck manufacturer, this transporter occupies the segment of light commercial vehicles with a permissible gross weight of between 3.0 and 5.5 tonnes. The TGE is MAN’s first answer to those light transportation tasks arising in the transport and haulage sector in the course of daily working life. This will be impressively demonstrated by three different bodywork options on the MAN stand in Hall 12, Stand B14.
Scania’s appearance at the trade fair will be marked entirely by its new truck generation. This is the result of ten years of development work and offers the most advanced vehicle technology for heavy-duty commercial vehicles. The new truck generation presented by Scania reduces fuel consumption by an average of 5% – thanks to more sophisticated engine technology and state-of-the-art aerodynamic solutions. Its new S and R-series vehicles, along with many other novel innovations, will be awaiting visitors in Hall 17, Stand B06.
Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus will be presenting an anniversary version of its successful heavy-duty transport model in the form of the Constellation 25/420. Over the past ten years, more than 180,000 vehicles have been sold, making the company the market leader in Brazil. Offering 420 hp and a torque of 1 850 Nm, it is the first choice for heavy-duty transportation tasks, not only in Brazil. Its robustness and reliability make it perfect for operating conditions in developing economies. Visitors can find Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus in Hall 12, Stand B14.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles will be showing several versions of its entirely newly-developed Crafter, which have been specifically designed to cater for customer needs. These offer a higher payload, greater load capacity, optimized overall dimensions and a large number of drives and derivatives. Above all, a newly-developed and finely-tuned chassis coupled with innovative assistance systems provide for convincing driving behaviour and a significant gain in safety, along with the aspect of fully upgraded comfort in this vehicle category. Reaching 0.33, the new Crafter offers the best Cd value in this class of vehicles. The new Crafter and many other Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles innovations can be viewed in Hall 12, Stand B04.
