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.

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...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively.

And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
