Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Earns Three Awards at 2016 ‘Business Vans Awards’

  • Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles scoops three awards at 2016 Business Vans Awards
  • Volkswagen presented with ‘Best Finance & Service Package’
  • Amarok wins ‘Best Pick up’
  • Transporter Kombi awarded ‘Best Crew Van’

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has claimed three of the top honours at this year’s Business Vans Awards. Volkswagen impressed the judges with a number of its products as well as its pre- and after-sales support packages which are provided by the brand’s dedicated Van Centre network.

This year’s awards saw Volkswagen presented with the ‘Best Pick up’ award for its Amarok. Whether it’s a do-it-all load carrying double cab or rugged off-road pick-up the Amarok remains a favourite with business and private owners alike. Business Vans’ editor Martyn Collins commented: “Despite challenges from rivals the Amarok remains the best pick-up on the market. The winning 2.0-litre Trendline 180 PS 4Motion version of the Volkswagen is perfect for small firms and traders who want a high-quality, no-nonsense workhorse with plenty of standard kit.”

Volkswagen’s flexible load carrying crew van, the Transporter Kombi, continues to impress the Business Vans judges, winning ‘Best Crew Van’ for the second year in a row. The sixth-generation of the Transporter Kombi features some major technology updates over the previous model. Available with a range of engine options, the latest model delivers a new design, an all-new infotainment system as well as a host of new engineering and safety features.

Commenting on the Transporter Kombi’s win Collins said: “The Transporter Kombi continues to meet the needs of small businesses and trades by doubling as a tax-efficient dual-use vehicle: a working van during the day, but with that extra seating practicality, plus sliding rear windows, and a vehicle to accommodate the family at the weekend. Meaning that owners don’t need an additional car as the Kombi does it all with the prestige of the VW badge.”

Volkswagens’ pre- and after-sales support also stood out for the judges with the brand being awarded the accolade for Best Finance and Service Package. Volkswagen continues to work in partnership with its customers to provide the best products and customer service. The brand’s broad product range and extensive pre and aftersales services offers busy businesses the perfect commercial vehicle partner to help keep their fleet up-to-date and on the road cost effectively and with minimal hassle.

Collins commented: “Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has once again won the Best Finance and Service Package, because they more than rivals, realise that buying the van is just part of the ownership process.  Their extensive aftersales service offer and excellent finance products offer small businesses the complete package.

“Offering excellent in-life service and maintenance programmes, extended opening hours,  like-for-like courtesy vehicles and comprehensive finance options help businesses to not only get on the road but also keep moving cost-effectively and with minimal disruption. It all adds up to a comprehensive but transparent ownership proposition.”

Director of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Carl zu Dohna, collected the awards for the brand and commented: “This is another excellent result for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and demonstrates the strength of the brand and the quality of our products. To get such recognition for our finance and service packages is particularly pleasing. We continue to work in partnership with our customers to provide the very best levels of aftersales support to them.”

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...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers.  The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience.  So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf.  In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...

Volkswagen Group Records Best Ever First-Half-of-Year Sales

With 5.5 million vehicles in customer hands after the first six months of 2018, the Volkswagen Group is seeing the best performance of its history. Group deliveries increased significantly in all core regions,” said Fred Kappler, head of sales for the Group. “Our core brands recorded strong growth in the first half year.” For the year-to-date, all of Volkswagen’s brands had sales bumps. MAN, SEAT, and Skoda led the sales charge with performances 24%, 17% and 11% better than the previous year. The big sellers, too, had strong sales periods, with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Audi, and Volkswagen sales rising 3.5%, 4.5% and 6.3% respectively. That last figure is particularly good new for the board, since Volkswagen alone sold more than 3 million vehicles in the first half of 2018. As Kappler stated, the numbers are equally good when you break sales down by region. Brazil and Russia were the most improved markets (22% and 20%, respectively), while strong sales in Europe and China (u...
