Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles to Debut Fire Service Concepts at Interschutz 2015

The right assistant for the fire and disaster protection: Volkswagen will present two different solutions designed for fire services at Interschutz 2015 on June 8th. Highlights of Volkswagen’s exhibition stand are two current generation emergency vehicles: a Caddy-based Fire Engine and a new Transporter T6 Command Vehicle.

Whether it comes coordinating the fire department, the physical fire fighting operation or the advanced use during firefighting, Volkswagen will occupy approximately 500 m² of exhibition space with innovative tailored vehicles at Interschutz 2015. Premiering at this year’s trade show is the sixth generation Transporter Kombi as a command vehicle, equipped with a traffic controller, working lights and front flashers in the grille among other modifications. Another highlight is the latest Caddy Kombi as a fire-fighting vehicle with flashing lights and a special signaling system.

Volkswagen has also created the Golf Alltrack command car, acting as another specialized vehicle that, among other things features a special key panel and the accident data recorder UDS. Attendees will also see an Amarok Rapid Intervention Vehicle with a 3-seater bench in the second row offering seating for six passengers, as well as a hard top with integrated LED lighting and a water tank with 250 liter capacity.

Two Crafters complete the extensive range of exhibits. One as a portable pump vehicle (TSF) with double cabin, 2nd row seating for 4 and an all-aluminum box body with a pneumatic LED lighting mast.  The other Crafter has been converted to all-wheel drive,and features a hard-mounted water pump.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
