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...

[ See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com ] The SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the world and Volkswagen is showing the world how to do it.

Watch: The Transport Does a Whole Hell of a lot More than Transport

Petrolicious doesn’t only feature million-dollar classics, it also features the more generally neat, like this 1996 T4 Transporter that became Instagram famous and started and is starting an empire. Callum Creaser’s T4 started life as a panel van, but over the years it has become a homebrew camper van that has gone on adventures around the world. After posting about his adventures to Instagram, the diesel van gained a following and launched The Rolling Home, a series about other people’s small spaces and homey cars. Based on a 1.4-liter diesel with no ECU, Callum says his T4 is easy as pie to work on since information is widely available from sources like ours.
