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.

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.

Macau Gets Messy with 16-Car Pileup

The Macau Grand Prix is always good for an accident or two or 16— you may remember Audi’s race ending crash last year —and this year’s event didn’t disappoint. It didn’t take long for things to get messy on the tight road circuit. On the opening lap of the qualifying race a 16-car pileup caused the race to be suspended. Things kicked off when Daniel Juncadella hit a wall on the exit of Police bend, one of the tightest parts of the already tight circuit. The following car of Raffaele Marciello was able to avoid the carnage, but Laurens Vanthoor, who was in the upside-down Audi that ended the race last year, could not avoid Juncadella and together they blocked up the road pretty much completely. “I couldn’t see him [Juncadella] at first. Then I saw the car standing still,” Vanthoor told Motorsport. “I tried to brake but it was just understeering and I couldn’t do anything. There’s room for one car there and you’re blind.” Fourteen more cars would eventually crash into the corner c

The First of its Kind: Integrated Engineering Releases Highly-Anticipated IE450T MK6 Golf R Turbo Kit

After two long years of development, the team at Integrated Engineering has finally announced the release of their IE450T kit for the MK6 Golf R. With their turbo kit bolted on right out of the box, the sport AWD hatch is transformed into a 450bhp monster, with hardly any noticeable increase in spool time. In fact, 435 ft-lbs of torque are achieved at all four wheels, at a mere 3300rpm! By now you are probably asking yourself how this is even possible on a 2.0L engine that made nearly half that power from the factory. By employing true twin-scroll technology into the cast turbo manifold and pairing it with a state-of-the-art BorgWarner EFR turbocharger, IE was able to keep spool time at a minimum and bring the fastest-spooling big turbo setup to the market. “We wanted to offer a kit that would dramatically increase the power output without making the car lose its amazing street-friendly drivability,” mentioned one of the IE engineers. We are told the IE450T leaves the car driving jus
