The new Transporter series / Australian Media Launch / Sydney / NSW / December 2015 / VOLKSWAGEN /

Volkswagen Group Australia launches the sixth generation T series

Classic Transporter design is even sharper and more precise

Better fuel economy – new engines with Start/Stop function as standard

Improved safety – latest driver assistance systems

More comfort and convenience – adaptive chassis control

and electrically adjustable seats

New technology systems – App-Connect with Apple CarPlay®,

Android Auto™ and MirrorLink®

Sydney, December 2015 – Volkswagen Australia is pleased to present local

specifications and pricing of the latest Transporter from Volkswagen Commercial

Vehicles. Boasting key updated features, the new Transporter offers improved

levels of safety and comfort, combined with modern design elements, the latest

in-car technology and a new TDI engine producing 150kW of power.

In Germany, the T series has been the number one seller in its segment for

decades. The new Transporters predecessor, the outgoing T5 series, sold

almost 2 million units around the world in 13 years. Across the entire series’

65 years of production, the vehicle has sold over 12 million vehicles worldwide,

offering millions of customer’s Volkswagen’s renowned contemporary transport

solutions. As the new Transporter returns to the Commercial Vehicles segment,

it is set to continue this success story for generations to come.

With the latest Transporter vehicles, there continues to be two basic categories

of the T series – the commercial vehicles (van, crewvan, single cab and dual cab)

and the passenger carriers designed for commercial and private use (Multivan

and Caravelle). Two different wheelbases and three varied roof heights (available

in van and crewvan only) add to the series’ level of flexibility and functionality.

In brief

The new Transporter series / Australian Media Launch / Sydney / NSW / December 2015 / VOLKSWAGEN /

A completely new generation of TDI engines is being launched with the

introduction of the new T series. The EA288 engine has been developed

specifically for the tough requirements of a commercial vehicle, ensuring

the longevity and ruggedness of the engine were placed as top priorities in

developing the vehicle. The TDI engines available are transversely mounted and

angled forward by eight degrees. They have a cubic capacity of 1,968cm3 and

deliver an impressive 103kW @ 3,500rpm and 132kW @ 4000rpm, while the

new engine delivers a powerful 150kW @ 4000rpm.

The sixth generation Transporter continues to showcase the unmistakable

stylistic traits of its predecessors and combines these into a powerful overall

design. Functional and versatile dimensions have always been a crucial element

in the light Commercial Vehicles sector and the new Transporter’s dimensions

offer maximum load capacity, while at the same time ensuring optimal

accessibility to the van.

Volkswagen Commercial vehicles have also integrated a wide array of intelligent

assistance systems in the new Transporter. With ABS, ESP and EDL standard

across the range, there are also a multitude of electronic aids over and above

these that make driving the T series simpler and safer including Front Assist,

City Emergency Braking (City EB) and Adaptive Cruise Control (only available in

Multivan with TDI450), as well as Driver Fatigue Alert and Multi-Collision Brakes

and to name a few.

The exterior design of the new Transporter series has been updated to enhance its

traditional credentials, while showcasing the vehicles modern design elements.

Inside the new Transporter, the vehicles new interior design inherits many new

impressive features. The new Transporter has also been fitted with the latest

technology and infotainment systems, while showcasing an impressive range of

comfort and convenience systems.

With an impressive list of standard features and equipment, the new Transporter

series offers customers a range of vehicles that are practical, functional,

spacious and enjoyable to drive. However, should customers want to enhance

their Transporter, a host of optional packages are available which add great

value-for-money and a wide range of convenience, assistance and upgraded

luxury inclusions.

The new Transporter series / Australian Media Launch / Sydney / NSW / December 2015 / VOLKSWAGEN /

Engines and chassis

Three powerful engines with manual and direct shift gearbox

New 2.0 TDI delivers maximum torque of up to 450Nm

One litre lower fuel consumption

BlueMotion Technology across the range

The demands and expectations placed on the T series could not be more diverse.

From the simple Transporter all the way to the fully equipped Multivan, the aim

is to fulfil the customers’ needs, while placing an emphasis on their notions

of mobility and agility. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is responding to that

with three powerful TDI engines with a maximum power of 103kW @ 3,500rpm,

132kW @ 4,000rpm and 150kW @ 4000rpm.

The new Transporter can be coupled with a 6-speed manual gearbox or 7-speed

DSG. The Mulitvan and Caravelle are available with the 7-Speed Direct Shift

Gearbox (DSG) with sport mode and Tiptronic function. In addition, the TDI400

series for Transporter and the TDI450 series for the Highline can be ordered with

4MOTION all-wheel drive. All engines work extremely efficiently, with the carry

over engines saving around 0.5L/100km thanks to Blue Motion Technology that

is offered as standard with every model in the new T series range. BlueMotion

Technology enables Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles to offer the most

fuel-efficient, environmentally friendly engines lowering fuel consumption and

reducing CO2 emissions.

The Transporter’s chassis has always been highly acclaimed. Adaptive chassis

control (available as standard on the Generation Six and as an option on the

Multivan Highline) is even more sophisticated. It enables the vehicle to be

adapted to three driving styles: comfortable, normal and sporty. In each case,

the electrically adjustable shock absorbers adapt to the chosen style via a

preselected programme. The ‘anticipatory’ adaptive chassis control thus makes

the already exemplary handling even better.

The new Transporter series / Australian Media Launch / Sydney / NSW / December 2015 / VOLKSWAGEN /

The EA288 engine has been developed specifically for the tough requirements

of a commercial vehicle. Longevity and ruggedness were therefore a top priority.

The TDI engines available are transversely mounted and angled forwards by

eight degrees and have a cubic capacity of 1,968cm3. The engines with up to

103kW are boosted by a single turbocharger with variable turbine geometry,

while Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has opted for two-stage controlled

charging in the top of the range 150kW version. In this version, the maximum

torque of 450Nm is already available in the range between 1,400 and 2,400rpm.

In general, all of the engines achieve appreciably better levels of elasticity due

to the more dynamic torque curve.

One outstanding feature is the cylinder head. Its inlet and outlet valves are

no longer arranged side-by-side, but behind each other instead. As a result,

both camshafts control both inlet and outlet valves. The benefit of this is

that due to the different duct lengths, a better maximum flow rate can be

achieved with simultaneously improved mixture preparation and combustion.

Despite yielding higher output, that saves fuel and reduces CO2 emissions.

On average, fuel consumption goes down by a litre. That is around 24 grams

less CO2 per kilometre. Traditionally bundled together in these models are all

measures for reducing fuel consumption that are still economically viable,

such as lowering the ride-height, weight reduction and tyres optimised for

low roll resistance. The stop/start system is included in all vehicles. To meet

emissions standard a SCR (selective catalytic reduction) converter is added

downstream, which electively converts the nitrogen oxide (NOx) component of

the exhaust gas into nitrogen and water, with no formation of any unwanted

by-products. The conversion is performed using a synthetically produced

32.5 per cent urea solution, such as AdBlue® (ISO 22241-1 / AUS 32), which is

carried in an additional tank with a capacity of 13 litres. This system requires

that the AdBlue® is refilled after around 7,000 kilometres by the customer or an

authorised workshop, independently from the service intervals. Injection of the

AdBlue® is done automatically.

In its development, safe and excellent handling of the chassis has always been a

top priority. Even with maximum payload and at full engine capacity, the front-

wheel or all-wheel drive Transporter impresses with outstanding dynamism and

stability. These extraordinary driving dynamics are further supported by the

great rigidity of the vehicle body.

The new Transporter series / Australian Media Launch / Sydney / NSW / December 2015 / VOLKSWAGEN /

The independent wheel suspension with MacPherson struts at the front and

a semi-trailing arm rear axle with separate springs and shock absorbers help

the Transporter to handle like a passenger car. In the case of most MacPherson

axles, the transverse links and anti-roll bar are not connected directly to the

vehicle body, but are attached to an auxiliary frame, which in turn is bolted to

the bodywork via vibration-reducing bearings. That leads to extremely effective

vibration decoupling, which enhances motoring comfort. In addition, anti-roll

bars on both axles suppress the vehicle’s sideways lean in corners, while load

sensitive shock absorbers, which depending on the spring’s level of compression

dampen to harder or softer degree, increase the suspension’s comfort.

The DCC adaptive chassis control for the enclosed superstructures available

in the Generation SIX and optionally in the Highline models, works in an even

more bespoke manner. It enables the vehicle to be adapted to three driving

styles: comfortable, normal and sporty. In each case, the electrically adjustable

shock absorbers adapt to the chosen style via a preselected programme.

The ‘anticipatory’ DCC is then able to make the already exemplary handling

even better. Ground clearance varies by vehicle type. The Multivan, for example,

is around 20 millimetres lower. Further lowering is achieved with the optional

sports chassis, which works with a different spring characteristic and harder

shock absorbers. The Generation SIX model comes as standard with the

dynamic chassis, which represents an optimum balance between ride comfort,

agile handling and lower clearance.

Further contributing to well-balanced motoring comfort is the servo assisted

rack-and-pinion steering, which excels through effortless operation and high

precision. With a gear ratio of 1:15.8, just 3.3 rotations of the steering wheel

are needed from one stop to the other. Despite the wheelbase of at least

3,000 millimetres, the front-wheel-drive vehicle’s turning circle is no more

than 11.8 metres. Directional stability, agility and ease of handling are among

the primary characteristics that define the Multivan’s chassis. On the Multivan

Highline and Executive models, the standard Servotronic provides maximum

steering support, facilitating easy parking and manoeuvring and safe driving at

high speed by virtue of the steering’s capable response.

Exterior design and features

More distinctive and powerful design

Front and rear carry the striking traits of the new design

New range of 16 and 17-inch alloy wheels

The T series embodies a classic design and has therefore been modernised

cautiously. The new design is sharper and has been enhanced in quality.

The lines, beads and edges run continuously from front to back. The entire

body now has the appearance of being all one piece, as if milled from a solid

block – and like its predecessors, the new T generation remains immediately

recognisable. Put through their paces every day to the hardest of tests and

developed for professionals, the Transporter is robust and reliable.

Forming the top of the T series range is the Multivan. Families and sports

enthusiasts in particular value the vehicle for its well-known flexibility and

practicality. Created for both commercial and private use is the spacious and

multi-purpose Caravelle that has also been upgraded.

Front The new generation T series can be recognised above all from its completely

new front section. Its design combines stylish linearity with a high degree of

power. Consciously positioned, clearly defined lines give the model series a

contemporary and modern yet timeless look. With the low front apron, which

straightens up almost vertically just above street level, the new generation has

also gained in charisma and exclusivity giving the front a more dynamic design.

Rear The rear view is distinctive as well. With a horizontal bead, it highlights

the vehicle’s width in a striking fashion. That is further underlined by the

wide rear window and the low reaching number plate recess, which is clearly

delineated in its geometric division, along with LED lighting of the number plate.

The horizontal division is also adopted by the rear bumper, which with several

flat areas adds further expressive contours to the back of the vehicle.

Side Other eye-catching features include the lowered wing mirrors and the

indicator lights set dynamically within the bead. In addition, numerous newly

designed wheels define the view from the side. The Transporter comes standard

with 16-inch steel wheels with centre wheel trim with 215/65 tyres (available

in TDI340) and 17-inch steel wheels with centre wheel trim with 235/55 tyres

(available in TDI400). Also available at an additional cost are the new 17-inch

‘Devonport’ alloy wheels with 235/55 tyres. The full plastic hubcap with ten

spokes for the 16-inch steel wheels are carried over from the previous model

and are fitted as standard on the Caravelle Trendline. The 16-inch ‘Clayton’ alloy

wheels have five double spokes, while the 17-inch ‘Devonport’ alloy wheels

come with five broad spokes.

Body Colours The new Transporter is available in 12 stylish exterior colours.

Many of them are new to the range, such as Deep Ocean, Cherry Red, Grape

Yellow, Indium Grey, Starlight Blue and Acapulco Blue. Caravelle and Multivan

also offers Mojave Beige and Chestnut Brown, while Oryx White is exclusive

to Multivan. Cherry Red is being combined with Candy White, while Acapulco

Blue will form the contrasting colour to Reflex Silver Metallic for the striking

two-tone finishes on the Multivan range. The upper section of the bodywork

provides the base colour for the two striking two-tone finishes that are available

exclusively for the Multivan Generation SIX special launch model.

There are also several specific combinations that vary according to body

version and equipment line. The non-metallic colours Luminous Orange,

Deep Ocean and Pure Grey, for instance, are offered only for the vans and the

Caravelle, while Candy White and Cherry Red are available for the whole range.

As optional metallic paint finishes, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is offering

the following colours: Bamboo Green, Starlight Blue, Reflex Silver, Indium Grey,

Acapulco Blue, Mojave Beige and Chestnut Brown. The optional Oryx White

(available in Multivan only) and Deep Black pearl effect paintwork perfectly

finishes off the range of colours available.

Interior design and features

Transporter launched with streamlined Volkswagen design DNA

Functional features highlight modern driver’s workspace

Designers and engineers have covered a broad spectrum of design elements in

developing high-quality interiors for all versions of the vehicle: highly practical

in the case of the Transporter – bespoke and refined in the case of the Multivan,

satisfying the requirements of its different customer groups. All aspects of the

vehicles have been considered to ensure everything has its place. For example the

arrangement of storage trays and compartments depend on the vehicle model

and form follows function in the most seamless way when handling and placing

everyday items such as a folding ruler, coffee mug, mobile phone or tablet.

The three-spoke leather wrapped multifunction steering wheel underlines the

modernity of the driver’s workplace. Horizontal elements correspond visually

with vertical accents – a clear sense of order and symmetry, which with its

calm architecture conform to the ideal of great functionality and quality.

Lighting elements in the doors and foot wells create a pleasant interior

atmosphere. The newly designed seat cover ‘Austin’, finished in a premium

cloth fabric is available in Titanium Black / Moon Rock Grey. Taking functionality

into consideration, the vehicles dash panel follows the requirements of the

general working day and there are numerous storage compartments available.

On the dashboard, for example, there are two cup holders at the sides and an open

central tray. Located toward the bottom of the vehicles driver and passenger

seat area is a glove compartment with lockable flap. Added to this comes a slim

gear lever encasement, which promises ample space for any passenger sitting

in the middle on the double bench seat. The Multivan’s exclusive dashboard has

a new distinctive look that sets it apart from the Transporter and the Caravelle

for the first time.

The design of the sixth-generation Transporter’s passenger compartment

represents a significant highlight. Following tradition, it features an innovative

layout, high-quality materials and a passion for detail. The instrument panel is

clear and geometric, while the horizontal division into four levels emphasises the

width of the dashboard. Below the back-light hood with two grooves, and the

central infotainment area, the easy-to-read instruments also have an elegant

and refined look.

The new Transporter series / Australian Media Launch / Sydney / NSW / December 2015 / VOLKSWAGEN /

The everyday practicality of the T series’ passenger compartment continues

to be demonstrated by well-balanced ergonomic qualities and numerous

storage trays and compartments. Depending on the model, the driver and front

passenger’s seats can be electrically adjusted in 12 ways. Many of the numerous

adjustment options can then be controlled by button or toggle switch and one

big benefit is that the setting for the driver’s seat can be saved. The electrically

adjustable seats are also heated as standard.

The arrangement of storage trays and compartments depends on the model.

The key factor here is essentially the number of seats in the front passenger

area. This leads to two different dash panel layouts. While the bins and trays are

sometimes open, and at other times enclosed, it is the differently shaped centre

console that stands out. In the Transporter and Caravelle, it is the exclusively

narrower centre console and dash that varies from the Multivan version.

The Multivan has a premium passenger style dashboard with a wider centre

console that additionally houses two integrated cup holders and a pull-out

bottle holder, which like the associated glove compartment can be cooled via

the air conditioning system.

Safety and assistance systems

Front Assist

City Emergency Braking function

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Multi-collision brake (MCB)

Driver Fatigue System

Heated rear windscreen

Front and rear Park Distance Control

Hill Descent Assist

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has systematically tailored the new Transporter

to its different customers, factoring in their lifestyle and work scenarios.

A multitude of innovative driver assistance and safety systems are included as

standard to support the driver and protect the occupants. With ABS, ESP and

EDL standard across the range, there are also a multitude of electronic aids over

and above these that make driving the T series simpler and safer. These safety

systems also facilitate a much more relaxed form of travel – whether on holiday

or simply on the journey to work.

By means of radar, the ‘Front Assist’ with City Emergency Braking (City EB)

monitoring system (only available in the Multivan range) recognises critical

distances to the vehicle in front and helps to shorten the stopping distance.

In dangerous situations the system warns the driver visually and audibly, as well

as with a slight jolt of the brake. ‘Front Assist’ reacts here in two ways: in the

first stage the assistance system warns the driver with audible and visual signals

of any vehicle in front driving slowly or suddenly braking and of the associated

risk of collision. In parallel it gets the vehicle ready for emergency braking

– by applying the brake pads and setting the brake assistant.

Safety and assistance systems

Page 19: PRESS RELEASEd3d6mf6ofxeyve.cloudfront.net/wieckautodeadline60/files... · 2016. 10. 30. · PRESS RELEASE DECEMBER 2015. T6 Image Portfolio Transporter_01 Transporter_02 Transporter_03

The new Transporter series / Australian Media Launch / Sydney / NSW / December 2015 / VOLKSWAGEN /

If the driver fails to react to the warning, a single short jolt of the brake indicates

in the second stage the approaching danger of causing a rear end collision and

the brake assistant’s responsiveness is further increased. If the driver then hits

the brakes, full braking power is immediately available. If the driver does not

brake strongly enough, ‘Front Assist’ increases the braking pressure to the

required level, so that the vehicle comes to a stop before reaching the obstacle.

With Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), a sensor measures the distance to the

vehicle in front and the relative speed. In combination with the DSG, the ACC

system can also slow the vehicle down, for example in queues or traffic jam

situations, to a complete stop. Depending on the situation, ACC then starts up

again automatically after a predefined period. An integral component of Front

Assist and ACC is the City Emergency Braking (City EB) function, which provides

assistance at low speeds of under 30km/h and thereby offers significantly

improved safety, especially in dense city traffic. If the driver fails to see an

obstacle, the system automatically applies the brakes and ensures that the

collision-speed is reduced.

An integral component of ‘Front Assist’ and ‘ACC’ is the City Emergency Braking

(City EB) function. It provides assistance at low speeds of under 30km/h.

If the driver fails to see an obstacle, the system automatically applies the brakes

and ensures that the collision-speed is reduced. Ideally, it completely prevents

the vehicle from running into the obstacle. Approximately 22% of all accidents

involving injuries are collisions with more than one obstacle. In order to minimise

the risk related to this scenario, the Multi-collision braking system is provided

as standard across the T series range. After a collision, it automatically initiates

braking if the driver is no longer able to take action. Secondary collisions can then

be prevented. The Multi-collision braking system becomes active whenever two

sensors working independently of each other register an accident. In this event,

the system slows the vehicle down to 10km/h in stages based on a pre-set rate

of deceleration. The driver is, however, able to take back control of the vehicle at

any time. All three functions are in the standby mode. They cannot be disabled

by the driver.

The new Transporter series / Australian Media Launch / Sydney / NSW / December 2015 / VOLKSWAGEN /

The ‘Driver Alert’ Fatigue Detection System is available as standard across the

entire T series range. It recognises any deviations from normal driving behaviour

and recommends the driver takes a break when this appears to be necessary.

To do this, the system evaluates driving behaviour at speeds of 65km/h and

above and draws conclusions as to whether the driver is fit to drive. It evaluates

in this process various signals, such as for example steering behaviour. In the

event of any atypical actions, the system recommends that the driver takes a

break by both an audible and visual signal. The new Transporter is also equipped

with front row airbags as well as side/head airbags for the driver and passenger

as standard, while curtain airbags for outer seats in the second row are available

as standard in the Multivan range for Short Wheel Base (SWB).

Customers of the van and crewvan are able to order an optional rear view

reversing camera, while it is available as standard on the Caravelle and across

the Multivan range. The camera is activated by engaging reverse gear and relays

a precise image of the area behind the vehicle. The path of travel is depicted

by lines drawn onto the image. Also available to assist with parking is the front

and rear parking distance control system. Using acoustic signals, it helps the

driver manoeuvre into a parking space. As the vehicle gets closer to the obstacle

the frequency of the beeps increases. If the distance to the obstacle is less

than 30cm, the beep is continuous. The front and rear park distance control is

available as standard across the Multivan range.

For the TDI450 Highline, Hill Descent Control is available as an option.

By targeted application of the brakes to individual wheels, which the driver is

not able to do singularly using the foot brake, and by cutting the engine speed,

it ensures a safe, controlled hill descent. As far as is possible, it keeps the vehicle

to a constant walking pace when going down extreme inclines. On vehicles with

tow-bars, electronic trailer stabilisation also utilises the components of the

ESP system and contributes significantly to safety while driving with a trailer

in tow. The system recognises any vehicle instability caused by towing a trailer

at inappropriate speed. Through systematic reduction of engine torque and

The new Transporter series / Australian Media Launch / Sydney / NSW / December 2015 / VOLKSWAGEN /

To optimise safety and convenience levels, a rain sensor, automatic anti-glare

rear-view mirror and the ‘Coming Home’ / ‘Leaving Home’ function are all

available. The dimmed headlights, rear light clusters’ tail lights and number plate

illumination are all used via delay or remote control to illuminate the surrounding

area. At an additional cost, the front headlights and rear lights can be equipped

with LED technology (only for Multivan). The benefit of this is primarily longevity

and low electricity consumption. Compared to a conventional halogen light,

they last more than ten times as long, most likely covering the vehicle’s entire

life cycle. The LED headlights with separate LED daytime running lights come as

standard with the Highline and Executive.

Infotainment – Networked integration

Optional in-car media audio systems

App-connect with Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™ and MirrorLink®

Each individual generation of the T-series has led the way in terms of

technology, and was perfectly meeting the needs of the market. Volkswagen

Commercial Vehicles is equipping the T series with a completely new generation

of radio and radio/navigation systems with touch screen displays. The 5-inch

Composition Colour audio system is available as standard across the Transporter

range, while customers can choose to upgrade their vehicles with the 6.33-inch

Composition Media audio system with App-Connect or Discover Media audio

and satellite navigation system with App-Connect and Media Control depending

on specification.

The standard 5-inch ‘Composition Colour’ audio system comes complete with

an array of features such as a touch screen display, AM/FM radio with phase

diversity tuner, CD player with MP3 compatibility, AUX and SD card slot,

external USB input and a total of 4 speakers. It also offers a car menu with

convenience and service setting menus, including display for park distance

control (if fitted) and air conditioning systems. During the journey the optional

digital voice enhancer and voice control (available only in the Multivan) helps

drivers to keep their eyes focussed on what’s happening on the road. Without

any turning of the head, the driver’s voice and that of the person they are talking

to is automatically amplified over the radio system’s loudspeakers.

Offering even more extensive features is the ‘Composition Media’ radio.

The colour display is 6.33 inches and has a swipe and zoom hand movement

control function similar to that used on modern smartphones. For easy

operation while driving, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is for the first time

using a display that works by means of proximity sensors: as soon as the driver

or front-seat passenger moves their hand close to the touchscreen, the system

automatically switches from display mode to input mode. Using the swipe and

zoom control function, users are able to also scroll through lists or browse CD

covers of their own media library that could be stored on an SD card, for example.

The new Transporter series / Australian Media Launch / Sydney / NSW / December 2015 / VOLKSWAGEN /

At the highest specification level is the ‘Discover Media’ audio and satellite

navigation system with App-Connect and Media Control. This system also

uses a 6.33-inch colour touch screen display with proximity sensor and offers

the following features above those already mentioned in the ‘Composition

Colour’ and ‘Composition Media’ audio systems: 2 x SD card slots for music and

navigation data, 2D and 3D (bird’s eye) map views, App-Connect USB interface

for Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and MirrorLink® in front centre console.

App-Connect makes it possible to show and operate selected smartphone

apps via the touchscreen display, while Volkswagen Media Control allows users

to operate the radio via a smartphone or tablet connected by Wi-Fi to the

infotainment system. When using Voice Control, the navigation system reacts

to city or street names being said aloud and calculates the route as instructed.

Over recent years, use of the internet on mobile devices such as smartphones

and tablet PCs has grown significantly. This resulted in growing demand for

instant information everywhere.

Uniting the driver and the vehicle, the two optional infotainment systems

come with the latest in Volkswagen’s innovative technologies - Volkswagens

App-Connect system, featuring Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™ and Mirror Link®.

This technology seamlessly links driver’s smartphones to the vehicles audio

and touch screen system. For safety while driving, Transporter is fitted with

a Bluetooth® phone connectivity and audio streaming as standard.

The new Transporter series / Australian Media Launch / Sydney / NSW / December 2015 / VOLKSWAGEN /

Specification types

One series, three models, numerous specifications

– variability of the highest level:

Transporter - Crewvan, van, single cab and dual cab

Multivan- Comfortline, Highline, Executive and Generation SIX

Caravelle

Two categories of the T series has been made available to Australian customers

– the commercial vehicle range (van, crewvan, single cab and dual cab),

and the passenger carriers designed for commercial and private use

(Multivan and Caravelle). Two wheelbases and three different roof heights

additionally multiply the series’ great flexibility and functionality, along with the

various engine combinations available.

Commercial vehicles It is a long-standing tradition that the Transporter is

available as a van, as a single cab (3 seats), as a dual cab (max. six seats) and

as a crewvan (five seats). All vans have a sliding door on the passenger’s side,

while crewvan comes standard with dual sliding doors. Driver and front-seat

passenger in the Transporter sit on hard-wearing fabric seat covers in ‘Austin’

Titanium Black design.

Transporter: van, crewvan, single cab and dual cab

The Transporter’s success story began over six generations ago with the mass

produced van. The very same year the side-windowed crewvan followed,

with the first single and dual cabs produced shortly after, completing a range of

successful models that remain in demand to this day.

Van The Transporter van’s cargo space is accessible both from the back and from

the passenger side of the vehicle with a cargo space measuring 5.8m3. The van

with normal roof is fitted as standard with a tailgate that permits a loading

height of 1,290mm. Available as an option are two symmetrical rear wing doors

with window. The two rear doors’ opening angle is 90 degrees with door latches

engaged and 180 or optionally up to 270 degrees without. The left hand door is

closed before the right-hand one.

The new Transporter series / Australian Media Launch / Sydney / NSW / December 2015 / VOLKSWAGEN /

The benefit of this is that when vehicles are parked in a row, the cargo space

can be accessed safely from the side of the road. This rear opening’s clearance

is practically identical to that of the tailgate version. The standard sliding door

with a large opening width of 1,017mm on the passenger side of the vehicle

enables easy access to loads transported deep inside the cargo compartment.

Anyone for whom that is not enough can also order the new Transporter van as a

dual loader with a second sliding door on the driver side of the vehicle. A light in

line with the respective sliding door ensures adequate illumination. On request,

the Transporter van without side windows can also be ordered with one or more

windows in the cargo compartment. Easy loading and unloading is facilitated

by the relatively low sill of just 566mm. Maximum load width is 1,700mm

and the width between the wheel housings is 1,244mm. The vehicle floor is

level throughout, making loading easy. Depending on wheelbase, six or eight

fold-out load-lashing rings enable cargo to be perfectly secured with

lashing straps. Cargo space panelling protects the vehicle body’s outer skin.

Floor coverings of various kinds are available as options.

The cargo space (maximum payload up to 1.236 tonnes) impresses in its

base version (3,000mm wheelbase and normal roof) with a cargo area of

4.3m² and load capacity of 5.8m³. This increases with a medium-high roof

(22.5cm higher) to 6.7m³. Over and above this, the van is also optionally available

with a wheelbase extended by 40 centimetres, which – with a total length of

5.29 metres – offers an outstanding cargo area of 5.0m². This produces in

the normal roof version a load capacity of 6.7m³ and in combination with the

medium-high roof a capacity of 7.8m³. The high roof variant is exclusively

available with a long wheel base and has a volume of 9.3m³.

Crewvan The crewvan range is structured in a similar way to that of the van.

The crewvan with a full set of windows (only at front of cargo area) can

be ordered in all versions consecutively with seating for up to five people.

The variable seating enables easy transporting of people, staff or work crews

to wherever they are meant to be, such as to building sites. The seats available

for the passenger compartment of the crewvan can be removed without tools,

while the triple bench seat can also be wrapped forward. All backs of the

3 person bench seats in the 2nd row can also be folded onto the seat cushion.

The high roof provides headroom inside of 1,940mm. The cargo floor fitted to all

crewvan’s is made of rubber and includes step illumination.

The new Transporter series / Australian Media Launch / Sydney / NSW / December 2015 / VOLKSWAGEN /

Single and dual cab In addition to the well-known variety of van and crewvan

models, also available is a single and dual cab. In the case of the single cab

the long wheel base increases the size of the cargo bed where it grows from

around 4.75 to 5.50 square metres. The height of the aluminium side panels,

which can be dropped down on every side, is 39 centimetres. A host of storage

compartments have been made available as standard across all Transporter

vehicles: overhead storage compartment, front sunvisors with ticket holder,

glove compartment with lockable lid, two cup holders on upper dashboard,

two open storage compartments above glovebox and an open storage area on

either side of the of dashboard to name a few. With the comprehensive range

of custom equipment available as standard, this multitude of variations offers a

transport solution for practically every task.

Passenger carriers

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles traditionally offers the Multivan in four

equipment specification levels. In keeping with this theme, the available

equipment lines for Australian customers are: Comfortline, Highline, Executive

and the special edition Generation SIX. The special edition Generation SIX launch

model showcases numerous features that have been combined to create a very

attractively priced package.

Multivan: Comfortline, Highline, Executive

Over 30 years ago, Volkswagen unveiled a model that created a vehicle category

of its own: the Multivan. To this day, the flexible Multivan remains a unique

proposition among MPVs - it is a transporter, everyday car and recreational

vehicle all in one. The core element of its versatility is the hugely variable seating

available in the rear of the vehicle. No matter what it has to transport or carry,

the Multivan is able to handle almost any task.

Depending on trim level, there are two rotatable individual seats installed in

the front row of the back of the Multivan. Both seats are anchored to the floor

in the modified tracks, on which they can be independently snapped into their

position, turned around or easily moved on rollers without having to be taken out.

That facilitates, for example, a comfortable vis-á-vis position to the rear reclining

bench seat or a relaxed seating position with lots of knee room facing forward.

Numerous storage trays and cup holders complete the travel-ready trim.

28

Page 29: PRESS RELEASEd3d6mf6ofxeyve.cloudfront.net/wieckautodeadline60/files... · 2016. 10. 30. · PRESS RELEASE DECEMBER 2015. T6 Image Portfolio Transporter_01 Transporter_02 Transporter_03

The new Transporter series / Australian Media Launch / Sydney / NSW / December 2015 / VOLKSWAGEN /

Available in the Multivan as standard are two (2) dash mounted cup holders

for bottles and drink cans with additional storage, a storage box beside gear

lever, upper storage try with lid and storage compartments on the sides of

the front seats. Also available as standard across the Multivan range are coat

hooks throughout the passenger area, front sunvisors with ticket holder and

illuminated vanity mirror.

ISOFIX child seat anchorage points have been made available as standard for

2nd row Captain’s chairs and outer seats in the 3rd row. They help to integrate

an external child seat into the vehicle structure and yield the advantage that

incorrect use of any kind is significantly eliminated. Anyone not wanting to

retrofit child seats also has the option of ordering a single seat with a child seat

integrated into it, offered for both 2nd row seats. In this case, part of the seat

cushion can be raised and a part of the seatback with appropriate seat belts can

be folded out. It is also possible as an option to order individual seats instead of

the triple bench seat.

Mounted on rollers, the 3-seater reclining bench seat in the 3rd row is anchored

to the floor tracks and can be locked in any position in the back of the vehicle.

Adjusting the bench seat could not be easier: regardless of whether being

accessed from the passenger compartment or luggage space, after pulling a

lever or loop, it smoothly slides forward or backward without being folded down.

Any attached child seats can remain in place. In this way, it is easy to increase

the boot space after going shopping or to provide more legroom in the back row

when, for example, picking up more passengers. When converting it into a bed

there is a further release lever. Once that is pulled, the back can be pushed down

and a practically flat surface to lie on is created in the back. Where necessary,

the bench seat’s headrests and the folded-down backs of the front single seats

extend the sleeping area. Anyone using the Multivan to go camping has the option

of ordering the multi-flex board bed extension as part of the Goodnight Package,

which also gets fixed to the track system. In this instance, the two single seats

may be taken out of the Multivan and the high bed surface ensures additional

room for storage. The reclining bench seat can also be taken out.

The variability of the seating layout makes the back of the vehicle a veritable

playground in terms of reconfiguration. From normal boot to large cargo space

–anything is possible. Anyone needing a large cargo space in the middle or back

of the Multivan simply pushes the seats behind each other.

29

The new Transporter series / Australian Media Launch / Sydney / NSW / December 2015 / VOLKSWAGEN /

Or the seats can be taken out individually as required- this gradually increases

the luggage space up to its maximum. All that needs to be done is to remove

the track system’s front covers and the seats and bench seat can immediately

be pulled up and out from that point. Customers then have the comfort of a fully

cleared cargo space with a carpet floor covering. Integrated in its level floor are

six load-lashing rings for fixing the cargo so that it doesn’t slip in order to protect

the high-quality internal panelling from any damage. Opening and closing the

tailgate is especially easy. Aside from purely manual operation, the first level up

from the basic version provides an automatic closing aid (power latching paired

with power doors). It enables the tailgate to be closed with much less effort and

has the latch engage in the lock with a significantly less obtrusive sound.

Comfortline The seven-seat Multivan Comfortline impresses with a high level

of comfort and stylish inclusions as standard. This is inherent in the vehicles

exterior design details that feature: body coloured bumpers with black grained

radiator grille adorned with a decorative chrome strip, 16-inch ‘Clayton’ alloy

wheels with 215/65 R16 tyres (standard for SWB) and 17-inch ‘Devonport’

alloy wheels with wide 235/55 R 17 tyres (standard for LWB) that emphasise

the vehicles dynamic appearance. This continues inside the vehicle with a fully

upholstered interior with decorative trim and inserts in ‘Dark Silver Brushed’ and

‘Paviano Black’, a leather wrapped gearshift knob, and chrome accents on the

air vents. Added to these come attractive features such as a Climatronic climate

control system with dual front and rear temperature controls, Composition

Media audio system with SD card slot, a USB socket and Bluetooth phone

connectivity, sunshades for side windows in the passenger compartment,

a 3 spoke leather multifunction steering wheel, rain sensor and automatic

dimming breakaway interior rear-view mirror.

Highline Luxurious style and correspondingly high levels of comfort are the

characteristic features of the Multivan Highline. Also available with seven seats,

this vehicle is furnished with Nappa leather appointed upholstery. Externally the

Highline is recognisable with premium features such as body coloured exterior

mirror housings with a high-gloss black base, 3 decorative chrome strips and an

additional chrome strip on the lower radiator grille, front fog lights with static

cornering light function, 17-inch ‘Devonport’ alloy wheels with 235/55 R17 tyres,

LED headlights with separate daytime running lights and LED tail lights.

The new Transporter series / Australian Media Launch / Sydney / NSW / December 2015 / VOLKSWAGEN /

An extra sliding door on the driver side makes getting in easier and both doors

open and close as standard by just touching the handle or pressing a button,

as well as via remote control. A 3-zone Climatronic system, fitted as standard,

provides for optimum climatic conditions. All other parameters, including the fan,

are controlled fully automatically by the Climatronic system. The temperature

for both sides of the interior can also be individually controlled (also available in

the Comfortline). The 6.33-inch ‘Discover Media’ audio and satellite navigation

system comes as standard.

Executive With a total of six seats, the Multivan Executive’s interior features

premium surfaces with seats in Nappa leather appointed trim. Very comfortable

seats in the third row provide a pleasant ambience in the back. The electrical

adjustment – and heating – of the individual Captain’s seats with swivel function

and armrests incorporated into the second-row promise both an enjoyable and

comfortable ride. An optional cooling/warming box keeps the drinks and snacks

for the journey fresh, while, if needed, the independent heating system with

remote control will heat up the interior as required. The sliding multifunction

table (also available in the Highline) is highly practical and useful and can be

stored in a space-saving manner between the two single seats of the second

row. A master of functionality, the table provides a drink holder, a magazine

pocket and drawer. The top of the range ‘Discover Media’ audio and satellite

navigation system comes as standard on the Executive Multivan, along with LED

headlights that light up the road ahead perfectly.

Caravelle

The Caravelle is a classic mini shuttle bus for transporting people. It seats up

to nine passengers, is packed with storage options and offers Volkswagen’s

innovative driver assistance technology and in-car entertainment. The number

of seats in the back of the Caravelle can be varied according to need on any given

occasion. All bench seats can be taken out without tools. In the Long Wheel

Base, up to three rows of seats are possible in the back. The vehicles maximum

number of nine seats can be achieved with a number of different layouts and

an impressive number of nine seating combinations are possible. Depending on

position, it can also be folded down and rolled forward. The relevant seat belts

for the outer seats are then fitted to the respective side wall, reducing the seats’

weight and making their removal easier. In addition, all bench seat backs can be

folded down onto the seat cushion.

Exterior features of this people mover include body coloured bumpers,

a black grained radiator grille with decorative chrome strip, 16-inch steel wheels

with full wheel covers and 215/65 R16 tyres, halogen headlights with day time

running lights, optional electric sliding doors and power latching tailgate.

The interior creates a tasteful atmosphere with a 3-zone Climatronic air

conditioning system, cloth seat covering in ‘Kutamo’, step illumination in

passenger compartment and comfort lighting make it an inviting space for

longer journeys. The whole of the vehicle’s floor is carpeted and the Caravelle’s

workspace with the familiar dash panel looks prestigious. In addition, the

‘Composition Colour’ audio system with features such as a 5-inch colour

touchscreen and Bluetooth phone connectivity, USB and SD card slot are

included with the vehicle as standard. The vehicles standard features are

rounded off with lumbar support and height adjustment for both the driver’s

and front passenger’s seats.
