VW Transporter T6.1 Teased With Fresh Look, Lots More Tech

 

VW's venerable van gets a serious upgrade this year. 

The Volkswagen Transporter 6.1 teases its fresh look once again. This time, the company shows it as the utilitarian panel van, instead of the people-hauling Multivan in the last photos.  A single- or double-cab pickup body is also on the way.

The Transporter 6.1 comes with a 2.0-liter turbodiesel available in a variety of tunes, including versions with 89 horsepower (66 kilowatts), 109 hp (81 kW), 148 hp (110 kW), and 196 hp (146 kW). The 148- and 196-hp variants have all-wheel drive as an optional upgrade. There's also a fully electric variant with 110 hp (82 kW) and up to 77.6 kilowatt hours of battery capacity that allows for a 249-mile (400-kilometer) range in the NEDC cycle.

The updated Transporter also makes the switch to electro-mechanical power steering, instead of the current hydraulically assisted system. The switch allows for a greater amount of driver assistance tech like lane keep assist and park assist. In addition, the van is available with helpful features like side monitoring, rear traffic alert, trailer assist, road sign display, crosswind assist, post-collision braking, and hill start assist.

A van like the Transporter needs to offer commercial customers lots of utility. Drivers should enjoy the updated infotainment system, 230-volt outlet next to the driver seat, and a lockable compartment under the passenger seat. Another new standard feature is the ability to separately lock the cargo compartment and the cab.

The initial variants of the Transporter 6.1 will go on sale in Europe this fall. A bevy of body styles will eventually be available, depending on if buyers need a simple panel van or a recreational vehicle to go camping.

Fleet Managers: Listen to Your Service Technicians

Image
Purchasing vehicles for a fleet is challenging. The responsible party has multiple considerations: timing, budget, and vehicle fit with the rest of the fleet. In the midst of estimates, spreadsheets, and software, sometimes a key factor can be overlooked: what works well in the field for technicians? There are both quantitative and qualitative data points to consider. Fleet Managers Need Data Fleet managers tend to operate out of a home office. Technicians are the "boots on the ground." They are the ones crawling in and out of a low-roof van on their knees. They are reaching up multiple times a day to grab a ladder off a materials rack. They are getting parts and tools in and out of compartments several times a day. Work vehicle features and prices may look good in a brochure or on a website, but the application of the vehicle and accessories may not function well in the field. Collaborating with your technicians is a great way to get valuable input

Buying a van is likely to be one of the biggest investments for your business as well as being an essential tool that you need to make sure is fit for purpose. Before you commit to buying anything, you should ask yourself the following questions to understand exactly what it is you're looking for in a van. How Much Space Do I Need? The main function of a van is to transport cargo and tools. They provide a reinforced space so that they can carry heavier and larger loads than a car. You should work out the typical payload you transport day-to-day and how much space that takes up so you know what load area size you need to look for. It's a good idea to give yourself an element of flexibility, but at the same time, you don't want to waste money by paying for a van that is too big. If you occasionally need to transport a larger load, it might be worth hiring a larger van for those times rather than investing in a vehicle with t
