Skill Builder Guides & reviews for building and construction
The first sketches of the new Volkswagen Crafter from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles which is due to be launched this autumn, have been revealed today.
Conceived as the ‘big brother’ of the T-series, Volkswagen says the new Crafter promises innovation alongside a high level of functionality and quality.
Experts at Volkswagen Commercial vehicles say they have worked closely with current customers, frequently accompanying them during their daily routines, to explore their needs and find out their visions of what they wanted the new Crafter to be, allowing them to help shape the new generation.
Volkswagen says customers will see this reflected in both the function and design: the approach, according to Albert-Johann Kirzinger, Head of Design at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (VWN), was thoroughly analytical: “In the commercial vehicle sector especially, design has got to work for lots of different customer groups.”
At 0.33, the new Crafter has a best in class drag coefficient; and inside it is said to combine everyday practicality with optimum cargo space. The new design language shown on the Crafter will continue across all new commercial vehicle derivatives and models.
More details about the Volkswagen Crafter will be coming soon.
