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.

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...

Volkswagen’s Gone to California with Grand California Camper

Volkswagen is bringing the California XXL concept to production. It will debut at the Dusseldorf Caravan Salon as the Grand California. It’s set to be based on the medium wheelbase Crafter van. That’s the company’s full-size commercial van, larger than the T6 Transporter based California. The high roof means room for adults to stand up, though it won’t get the concept’s extended length. The Grand California offers a full wet bathroom. It’s not exactly spacious, though, measuring in at around 31.5 x 33-inches. A toilet, shower, and sink are all crammed into that space, but at least there are motion sensor lights to stop you from reaching for a switch. Standard, the Grand California it comes with berths for two adults. Space for two children is optional, but they’ll be stuck in a berth amove the driver’s area. The kitchen offers a sink, stove, and two fridges. The front seats swivel to add seating space when the RV is parked. It’s also got solar panels, an integrated satellite dish,...

Novitec, Unsatisfied with Aventador SV, Adds More Veloce

The Lamborghini Aventador SV is no slouch, but if you’re into Lamborghinis, chances are you’re into big numbers. Whether it’s in the bank or under the hood, a big number could, and perhaps should, always be bigger, which is where Novitec steps in. Novitec has been modifying Italian cars for years, and their Torado line is dedicated to making ridiculous Lamborghinis even more ridiculous. Their latest effort takes the Aventador SV and remaps the engine to give it 786hp and 544 lb-ft of toque. They’ve also fitted the car with a new exhaust system that cuts 50 lbs off the car. Other mods include a carbon fiber aero package, spoiler, front splitter and air intake, all of which helps it shed even more weight. The Aventador also sits on 21 (back) and 20 (front) inch Vossen wheels. So if you think that a regular Aventador is just a little too pedestrian, give Novitec a call and they’ll hook you up.
