Work. Life. Solutions. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles at the IAA 2014


  • Brand from Hannover exhibits customised solutions covering all requirements

  • Comprehensive innovations reduce emissions

  • e-Load up! introduces the electrification of the model series


Solutions for work and life – or “Work. Life. Solutions.” is the exhibition slogan chosen by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles at this year’s IAA Commercial Vehicles Show which opens its doors on 25 September 2014. The manufacturer of lightweight commercial vehicles based in the state capital of Lower Saxony is planning a self-confident presentation on its home turf. “We will exhibit the right solution for all professional and private vicissitudes in life. We know what customers want and we deliver the goods,” says Bram Schot, Chairman of the Management Board of the brand.

The brand’s complete range of lightweight commercial vehicles for work and leisure time will be on show. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles will present visitors with the right companions for a wide range of requirements – based on the Amarok, Caddy, Crafter and T5 model series.


“We want to show our customers an unrivalled variety of mobility solutions for goods and passenger transportation,” says Schot. “The commercial vehicle business is just as diversified as its customers, who come from all trades and service sectors in our industry. In addition, public authorities, the police, fire brigades and municipalities make up an important part of our buyers.” Specialisation is the magic recipe to meet customer wishes and this is reflected on the show stand. There are 50 vehicles on show in Hall 12 sorted according to industry sectors and customers on a stand totalling about 7,500 m2 in area. Another 30 goods and passenger transportation solutions are in the outside area opposite the hall. Visitors can test drive selected models.


This year’s IAA show continues a market trend. City delivery vehicles, vans and pickups are becoming lighter, more efficient and more economical. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles are presenting innovations in all model series with special focus on powerful drive systems with the highest possible fuel economy. Emission-reducing drive systems are top priority at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. Light commercial vehicles with eco-efficient BlueMotion Technology or with EcoFuel natural gas engines are an integral part of the model range.


The e-Load up!, which will be seen for the first time on the stand, is Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ debut to introduce the electrification of its model series. It offers practical solutions for inner-city, zero-emission delivery or customer service traffic. The e-Load up! is presented as a ready-for-market vehicle. Equipped with a zero-emission electric drive it is highly suitable for courier or servicing traffic on repeated daily routes up to 100 kilometres.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers.  The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience.  So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf.  In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...
