Volkswagen
Commercial Vehicles will have its largest stand ever at this
year’s CV show at the NEC in April. This will feature the UK
show debuts of the all-new Caddy Maxi and an environmental
concept – the Caddy BlueMotion. In addition, Volkswagen
Commercial Vehicles will be offering its visitors the benefit of
some welcome refreshments from its coffee bar.
The all-new Caddy
Maxi creates a new class of compact van for Volkswagen between the Caddy
and Transporter ranges and will be a key feature of the Volkswagen
stand. All three derivatives of the new Caddy Maxi range will be on
display – the panel van, window van and passenger carrying Life which
offers seven seats and plenty of luggage space.
As its name
suggests, the new Caddy Maxi is 47 cm longer than the award-winning
Caddy and offering a larger load capacity of 4.2 m³ with a payload of
800 kg.
Another Caddy that
is sure to generate a lot of interest is the environmentally friendly
Caddy BlueMotion. This near-production concept is a result of
Volkswagen’s environmental research programme and uses advanced and
affordable technology to offer improved fuel consumption and lower
emissions from its diesel engine without compromising any driving fun or
practicality of the vehicle.
Other Volkswagen
models on the stand will include the largest Crafter in the range – the
long wheelbase with high roof – and a Crafter dropside conversion from
the Volkswagen Engineered to go™ range, plus three derivatives of
Volkswagen’s best seller, the Transporter, which recently passed it’s 10
million production milestone.
‘The CV show is an
important and prestigious event and this year we are proud to showcase
the new Volkswagen Caddy Maxi as well as the Caddy BlueMotion
environmental concept. After another record year of sales in 2007 and
maintaining our position as number one van importer, the CV show will be
a great opportunity to meet our existing customers plus even more new
ones,’ said Ralf Schueler, Head of Marketing for Volkswagen Commercial
Vehicles.
