Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles are celebrating 20 years of the VW campervan nameplate the California at the 2008 Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf.
The California name is new to Volkswagen as prior to 2003 the California was built by famed Motorhome maker Westfalia for Volkswagen, that deal ended when Westfalia was bought by DamilerChrysler (Damiler).
The T5 based California is now fully built and designed by VW Commercial Vehicle's Special Business Unit in Hannover making Volkswagen one of only two manufacturers that build motorhomes within their global range.
Also making its debut is the Caddy Topos Sail Study taking the yacht theme to a new level, with its innovative bumper that turns into a step drawer with a ladder built in to the rear hatch which gives you access to the roof which is truly German engineering at its best with a deck that flaps into seating positions and also hide storage areas.
Stay tuned for more pics and info as the show starts tomorrow.
Gallery after jump.-Success story of a touring vehicle: more than 80,000 California have been sold
-Caddy Topos Sail design study and mosaic module for the California Beach as further highlights
Hanover / Düsseldorf, 22nd August 2008: The most successful and popular touring vehicle in its class – the California made by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles – is celebrating an important birthday at this year's Caravan trade fair (30.8. to 7.9. in Düsseldorf). New ideas for the leisure time vehicle will also be presented within the scope of the anniversary "20 Years California": the design study Caddy Topos Sail shows similarities towards yachting design; two vehicle interior concepts extend the scope of application for the California Beach.
The success story of the Volkswagen California began in 1988: that was the kick-off for the first Volkswagen touring vehicle built on the basis of the Transporter with a rear engine. Three generations – from the California on the basis of the T3 through to the current T5 – have been extremely popular with customers. More than 80,000 vehicles have already been sold. This makes the California the most successful touring vehicle in its class.
Further highlights at the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles trade fair stand in Hall 16 at the Düsseldorf trade fair are the Caddy Topos Sail study as well as two vehicle interior concepts which demonstrate the flexibility of the California Beach.
The concept study Caddy Topos Sail shows a link to yachting, in particular through the multi-functional roof with wooden planking. The appearance of the new "Woody" is avant-garde and modern. Clothed in a wooden outfit, the design of the Topos is reminiscent of exclusive sports boat construction in the 1950's. Brushed or polished aluminium as well as a pool ladder with four steps in the tailgate further emphasise this character.
It all started with a mosaic programme for individual construction. The VW bus driver of more than 50 years ago was already able to set the vehicle up according to their requirements. This is now also possible with the California Beach. Two or three seat benches can be anchored as required using the rails on the floor. This option for a four or five-seater vehicle then further influences the layout of the modular camper with water boiler, sink and cooker.
20 years of the Volkswagen California – 20 years of mobile leisure
-Successful model celebrates its birthday
-Around 80,000 vehicles built
-Optimal vehicle for long journeys
The Volkswagen California touring vehicle is twenty years old. Since its market launch in the summer of 1988, around 80,000 vehicles have been produced to date. Around 5000 California vehicles currently roll off the assembly lines each year.
When the Caravan Salon opened its doors in Essen in 1988, an in-house touring vehicle was exhibited on the Volkswagen stand for the first time. Its name: California. In the press context: "VW brings movement to leisure." For 39,900.00, Deutschmarks, this took the following form: A folding bench seat for two people in the rear, which can be laid flat to make a bed if required, and a narrow kitchen range with a refrigerator, gas hob and sink plus stowage space on the left-hand side. All of this bridged by a pop-up roof offering two additional berths.
"Volkswagen is making leisure beautiful", could be read next to the VW insignia in the sales brochure. Around 22,000 purchasers were to heed this call during the California T3's three-and-a-half year production period.
"The Volkswagen California has remained unbeaten in its segment for twenty years. Its success constantly leads us to reflect on further variants for the future", says Stephan Schaller, spokesman for the Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge brand's board of management.
In 1990, Volkswagen revealed the new California based on the new T4 Transporter. The successor was familiar and nevertheless completely different. Because the new Transporter generation no longer had a great deal in common with the old generations. From then on, the engine and drive train were located at the front: "The first double bed with front-wheel drive". Production began in 1991.
Shortly afterwards, the California Coach came onto the scene. The rear left panel and the omission of double glazing and other minor features enabled a price of around 48,000.00 DM from the very start of series production in 1993. The California was also available as a long wheelbase "Tour" and "Club" version. The highlight was the California Exclusive in 1994. This offered the autonomous "absolutely carefree package" for 59,890.00 DM.
The new face and various technical innovations offered by the passenger car variants of the T4 also came into play for the California as of 1996. And: From then on, the California formed part of the product range of the newly established Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge brand. Significant highlights were introduced in 1998. The Syncro was available with the 102 hp TDI, for example. The top TDI engine offered a whopping 150 hp.
The California fleet was ready: From then on, an attractively priced special model was on offer at each Caravan Salon; this was distinguished from the series production version by bundling various features which otherwise incurred a surcharge. The second generation was discontinued in 2003. Around 39,000 T4-based California vehicles were built, with some 14 percent of these being exported.
"The California is less dependent on the economy than on the zeitgeist. A California is often purchased in the same way as a sports car, because it is the fulfilment of a dream for many customers. Today, we can look back at sales of around 80,000 vehicles", says sales and marketing director Harald Schomburg.
The third California generation, based on the new Transporter, stood in the spotlight at the 2003 Caravan Salon. The new California once again made use of its predecessor's tried-and-tested outline. The furniture consisted of aluminium plates with a corrugated core. The pop-up roof was also manufactured from aluminium and opened electrohydraulically at the push of a button. The raised bed in the new California was longer and wider, and promised high reclining comfort thanks to a slatted frame.
Three years after first being presented, the California was also available with a solid high roof. The "no limit" design study was additionally presented completely in white. Series production of the "NoLimit", in slightly modified form, was scheduled to start just prior to the 2007 Caravan Salon. Only 222 of these numbered and extensively equipped vehicles, including a manufacturer's certificate, were available for sale to customers.
The very same year, the California was joined by its puristic brother: The "Beach". The two-passenger bench seat, which could be folded into a bed, was located on the right in the rear. A stowage box for widening the bed was situated to the left of this. An upholstered luggage compartment cover extends the length of the bed. Side pockets and a luggage net were fitted as standard in the model version with standard roof. These were not installed the pop-up roof.
To kick off the 2008 model year, Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge is presenting an attractively priced special model with a rear bicycle rack. The "Biker" is characterised by its extensive standard equipment and its price advantage of 3890 euro. The California is therefore an ideal sports companion. Belgian racing legend Jacky Ickx is of the same opinion; since mid-2008, he has been travelling to various events in a California 4MOTION, and calls the touring vehicle "the optimal vehicle for my trips".

Hello fellow VW Gazette Readers !!!
I can now finally reveal the all new VW Gol !!
The new Gol comes from a huge family of 5.7 million other Gol variants roaming the globe under the alias' of Pointer, Fox, Parati, Saveiro, Voyage, Amazon and Gacel.
This new Gol is based upon components within the the VW Empire mainly the Fox and Polo, as such engines comprise of a 1.0L and 1.6L which uses VW's new VHT - Volkswagen High Torque which gives the Gol range a high torque at lower revs, it also means that the Gol will continue the TotalFlex strategy, which means the engine can run on Ethanol and Petrol or a combination of the both.
I'm 100% sure this new Gol will reach most of all the continents, as VW plan to market it in Russia, China and possibly India as well as South East Asia and Eastern Europe where it will be badged as a Skoda.
New Gol will also sprawn additional variations a sedan, utility, van and a crossover, the sedan Voyage will launch in October at the Brazilian Motor Show in Sao Paulo, the new Saveiro utility will follow sometime next year.
Festive premiere in Saõ Paulo with 10,000 guests in attendance- President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will be offering his congratulations Saõ Paulo, 01 July 2008 - Now that more than 5.7 million cars have been made here, the Next Generation of the most successful automobile in South America for the last 21 years is being launched: the Gol by Volkswagen. This compact car, which is manufactured in Brazil, is precisely geared toward the local demands of customers in South America. Hence the Gol can be driven on any mixture ratio of gasoline and ethanol without the slightest loss of horsepower thanks to its Totalflex technology, like all the Volkswagen models made in Brazil.
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was invited by Viktor Klima, VW’s South America head. He was the first person to take a seat behind the steering wheel of the new Gol, as Garcia Sanz, member of the board of management, elucidated the main features and significance of this economical compact car: "It’s simply a captivating automobile, which is going to write a new chapter in the success story of the Gol," Sanz said.
Lula da Silva recollected the beginnings of the bivalent Volkswagens, which are primarily operated in South America with ethanol made from sugarcane: "A couple years ago I was inaugurating the production of TotalFlex vehicles here. It all began with a few cars for a test phase, and nowadays nearly every single car in Brazil is running with renewable fuel."
Ulrich Hackenberg, member of the board of management for the Volkswagen brand, in charge of Technical Development, underscored Brazil’s importance as a development location: "The New Gol’s design and technology were conceived here; this Volkswagen, like every other model we make, stands for topmost quality as well as technological innovation." Thomas Schmall, President of Volkswagen do Brazil, particularly extolled the commitment of all the employees at the two plants at Anchietá and Taubaté. "The Gol is a goal that’s shot for Brazil," said Schmall, in a reference to the soccer world.
Europe’s largest car manufacturer has been active in Brazil since 1953. It produces automobiles, buses and heavy trucks as well as engines and gear boxes at five locations, employing about 21,000 people. 18 million vehicles have rolled off their conveyor belts since then. In the 1970s Volkswagen was the first automobile manufacturer that, in conjunction with Brazilian engineers, locally developed vehicles for the regional South American markets. Volkswagen provides the greatest variety of all car manufacturers in Brazil, offering 17 models, and maintains a network of about 600 dealers.
Brazil is the second largest foreign market for the Volkswagen Group after China. Last year the corporation sold 581,300 vehicles here, 32 percent more than in 2006. VW do Brasil is not merely one of the largest privately held companies in Brazil but operates as automobile supplier for all of South America as well. Twelve percent (744,200 vehicles) of all deliveries of the Volkswagen Group were accounted for in this region in 2007.

The German motoring magazine Auto Motor und Sport has reportedly taken shots of the Mk5 Jetta facelift.
On closer inspection of these images its very clear that the vehicle is infact the New Bora released in China earlier this year but with a different lower front bumper perhaps styled more towards Europe.
The New Bora is based on a new platform that is heavily Mk4 derived, it has been said in the press that Jetta VI would go back a step so that VW could get a better RoI compared to the current generation Jetta due to its expensive suspension components.
AMuS has stated in the article that the Jetta VI will release in September at the Paris Motor Show.
Below is the Press Release of the New Bora from earlier this year.
New Bora – New generation of bestseller fully conceptualized for China
In a world premiere, the FAW Volkswagen joint venture is presenting the New Bora at Auto China 2008 – a very independently designed mid-class sedan with first-class workmanship. This successor to the successful Bora was once again systematically adapted to the wishes of Chinese customers.
Visually, German and Chinese design influences merge in this front-wheel drive car.
Clearly indicative of Volkswagen ‘design DNA’ are characteristics such as the muscular and clear modulations, an unmistakable C-pillar, the trapezoidal line of the headlights, the typical V shaped radiator grille that is integrated in the lines of the engine hood, and the car’s timeless impression.
Simultaneously, the New Bora takes on Chinese elements like the lion dance in its prominent visual alliance of headlamps, radiator grille and bumpers.
The design of the rear corresponds to that of the front mask.
No less typical is the high waist line, which emphasizes – from a purely visually perspective as well – the excellent passive safety of the New Bora.
Also typical of Volkswagen are the New Bora’s impressive quality of workmanship, high level of active safety, great comfort, intuitive controls and very good interior space.
Its size classification: with a length of 4,540 millimeters and a width of 1,775 millimeters the New Bora is close in size to the European Jetta.
The height of the Volkswagen is 1,467 millimeters. One reason for the extraordinarily good interior space is the car’s long wheelbase of 2,610 millimeters. The 450 liter cargo area also offers multi-variable utility.
New Bora – engines
At its market introduction, FAW Volkswagen will be offering the New Bora with two modern Euro-4 gasoline engines.
Both engines are distinguished by very refined performance and low fuel consumption. The four cylinder engines can be paired with a six-speed automatic (Tiptronic) as an option.
New Bora – two equipment lines
The New Bora will be available in the two equipment lines “Trendline” and “Comfortline”. Even the base version, the “Trendline”, has standard features that include ABS, driver and front passenger airbags, power steering, power windows, climate control system and a CD-Radio (MP3-capable). Also on-board in the New Bora Comfortline are 15-inch alloy wheels, sliding sunroof, chrome package, anti-theft warning system, cruise control and parking sensors.
In addition, the top version is differentiated by an extended list of optional features.
They include leather seats, side and head airbags and a navigation system.

Press Release follows....
-Caddy debuts in Frankfurt as extended Maxi and with new 140 PS TDI
-Caddy BlueMotion concept vehicle with 105 PS TDI now consumes just 5.7 liters of diesel
-New: Multivan PanAmericana and California NoLimit
Hannover, September 2007. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is presenting two world premieres at the International Motor show (IAA) in Frankfurt: The new Caddy Maxi and the near-production Caddy BlueMotion concept vehicle. The Caddy Maxi was lengthened by 47 centimeters making it the new crossover between the “classic” Caddy and the “T5”. The Caddy BlueMotion shines with its fuel consumption of just 5.7 liters per 100 kilometers. Also on display for the first time in the world in a production version at the IAA: The all-wheel drive Multivan PanAmericana and the California No Limit
World premiere 1: The new Caddy Maxi. It merges the qualities of a delivery van with the versatility of a compact van to form a new commercial vehicle class. Compared to the familiar Caddy, the Maxi was lengthened from 4.41 meters to 4.88 meters. This has created a space wonder with up to 4,200 liters cargo space. This Volkswagen will be available at the end of 2007 in the Caddy Maxi Life version; at the beginning of 2008 it will be followed by the Caddy Maxi Kombi and Caddy Maxi Van. A new top engine will make its way onto the new Volkswagen commercial vehicle: A powerful 103 kW / 140 PS TDI.
World premiere 2: The near-production Caddy BlueMotion concept vehicle is being presented by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles as an extremely economical and environmentally friendly model. The rated fuel consumption of the Caddy BlueMotion, powered by a 77 kW / 105 PS strong TDI with standard diesel particulate filter, was reduced by 0.6 liter to 5.7 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers by applying numerous technical and aerodynamic design measures. This value corresponds to a CO2 emissions value of 149 g/km (reduction of 18 g/km).
World premiere 3: The all-wheel drive Multivan PanAmericana was designed for very big adventures. It is reminiscent of the approx. 23,000 kilometer long route from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego – also known as the Panamericana. In 1999, another all-wheel drive Multivan covered this stretch in a record time of just 15 days. The entire equipment package of the Multivan PanAmericana was customized for these types of adventures. The model has underbody shielding as standard equipment, for example. As an option, the new model can also be ordered with a chassis set 50 millimeter higher and shorter gear ratios.
The California, one of the most popular camper vans in Europe, is entering the starting gates once again with a limited and particularly well-equipped “NoLimit” version. Total production run: 222 vehicles. Exterior identifying characteristics: White paint, 18-inch alloy wheels, chrome accents and tinted windows from the B pillars. Upgrades to the interior include a combination of leather and Alcantara upholstery on seats and beds. Exclusive features such as a mobile 10-inch monitor with integrated DVD player and DVB-T receiver as well as an iPod (30 GB) are standard equipment, as are a DVD navigation system and bi-xenon headlamps.

Caddy Maxi – World premiere at the IAA with an extra 47 centimetres Large. Larger. Maxi. Space for seven people plus luggage
Caddy Maxi fills the gap between the Caddy and the T5
Hanover, 4 September 2007. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is celebrating a new Caddy dimension at the 2007 International Motor Show (IAA) for passenger cars. The Caddy Maxi Life. The new vehicle combines the qualities of a transporter with the versatility of a compact people carrier in a new class of vehicle.
Compared to the familiar Caddy, the Maxi has been stretched from 4.41 metres to 4.88 metres. This has created an amazingly spacious vehicle with up to 4,200 litres of stowage volume (in the panel van version). Moreover, the multitalent is equipped with a new top-of-the-range engine: a TDI that generates 103 kW of output and 320 newton-metres of torque.
Stretched by 47 centimetres, the Caddy Maxi is one of the largest models among the compact shuttle vehicles and small transporters. Load capacity up to 4.2 m3, 800 kilograms payload, 1,500 kilograms trailer load and load area up to 2,250 millimetres long, depending on the interior configuration. These are record figures in this segment. Alternatively there is space for seven people to be carried in maximum comfort.
The design of the Caddy has been adapted 1:1 for the Caddy Maxi. The major difference is the body, which has been lengthened by 470 to exactly 4,875 millimetres. Compared to the 4,405 millimetre long "standard version" of the Caddy, the growth can be broken down as follows: plus 151 millimetres rear overhang; plus 319 millimetres between the sliding doors and the rear axle. The wheelbase has grown to 3,002 millimetres.
A major factor in the great success of the Caddy is its variable, clearly structured interior with its sophisticated design. For this reason, the space concept was transposed unchanged onto the Caddy Maxi. The seats and the cockpit area, which has been recognised as being of very high quality, are also identical.
In this case, not only the driver and front passenger are able to enjoy outstanding comfort and generous space, but also the five passengers in the two rows of seats in the rear. Even getting into to the Caddy is comfortable. The reason for this is the 700 millimetre wide and 1,108 millimetre high sliding doors. In addition, especially for the new Caddy Maxi, the space between the second and third rows of seats has been increased by 50 millimetres. Even when all seven seats are occupied, the luggage compartment still has a volume of 380 litres. The second row of seats can be folded down and forward. The third row of seats can be removed completely with just a few simple steps. The load volume is then increased to 1,350 litres.
The Caddy Maxi Life has been specially tailored to carry up to seven people and their luggage with a maximum of comfort in three rows of seats (2/3/2). Characteristic equipment on the Caddy Maxi Life includes two practical sliding doors and bumpers and attachments painted in the colour of the body. In the interior, the full trim and numerous stowage nets gives the Caddy Maxi Life an especially sophisticated and elegant feel.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles will offer the Caddy Maxi with one petrol and two diesel engines. The petrol engine generates an output of 75 kW. The two TDI engines are characterised by even more power and superb economy. Here, the 2.0 litre TDI with 103 kW is new in the range. As in the past, the tried and tested 1.9 TDI with 77 kW represents the entry level in the world of diesel. It may be combined with the optional dual clutch gearbox DSG. A diesel particulate filter comes as standard with both TDI engines.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles will offer three equipment versions of the Caddy Maxi. These are specially tailored to the needs of the respective clientele. The Caddy Maxi Life, in the style of a people carrier, will hit the market from autumn 2007. This will be followed in early 2008 by the universal talent, the Caddy Maxi Kombi and the Caddy Maxi Kasten panel van, which is designed for commercial use.

The new Constellation trucks employ the VW NGD 370 in the versions mechanical horse 4X2, mechanical horse 6X2, and rigid chassis 6X4.
Such launchings provide the Constellation line with nine basic models from 13 to 57 tons of total gross weight, and may be acquired with cabins in versions bed or extended. Adding optional systems such as the VOLKSNET hybrid system (via satellite and cell phone) for fleet tracking and management, the Volkswagen original accessories, the VOLKSTOTAL plan of post sales assistance, the 24 hours free assistance in guarantee CHAMEVOLKS, and a net of 142 authorized dealers throughout the country, the brand enhances the number of solutions in custom-made transportation for the consumer.
Clients may also choose the versatility of the light Delivery Trucks and the strong and recognized Worker line that add 19 basic models to the Volkswagen Trucks family. All designed and assembled in Resende (RJ) plant that also incorporates the World Center for Trucks and Buses Development of Volkswagen Group.
Brazil: growth pushes the Trucks industry
An exceptional crop of grains, the accelerated growth of the oil extraction and the production of biological fuel demand more agility and skill for cargo transportation among farming, industrial and ports zones in Brazil. The Plan for Growth Increase – PAC – of the Federal Government, the new impulse in Brazilian civil construction through governmental incentives for self-owned homes, and the cattle breeding industry due to the development of the export of beef and its by-products are enhancing the Trucks market expansion in 2007.
Additionally, the Brazilian Transit Council – Contran – edited the resolutions number 210 and 211 establishing new limits for weight and dimensions of vehicles traveling by road and rail networks. One of the most important measures has established the increase of the combined total gross weight – PBTC – from 45 to 57 tons to use articulated vehicles, tractor and tug vehicles with two units.
Once more, Volkswagen Trucks and Buses meets the market requirements by increasing its competitiveness thus providing new alternatives to its clients. And such alternatives came through three new members of Constellation family: VW 19.370, VW 25.370 and VW 31.370. The brand is now in an intermediate segment between 300 and 400 horsepower.
VW NGD 370 motor, the category’s most innovative one
The VW NGD 370 engine presents pioneering characteristics to the heavy trucks sector. The high “flat” torque at low rotation is improved by a variable geometry turbo-compressor: the Multi Turbo System - MTS. The cylinder head with four valves by cylinder, the 9,354 cm3 (9.3 liters), 367 horsepower at 2000 rpm, and the Dual Power Brake – DPB – are additional characteristics.
The new motor running counts on an exclusive injection system, the Hydraulic Electronic Unit Injector - HEUI – at high pressure, with electro-hydraulic digital injectors and extended durability, developed by the partner company Siemens/VDO. This new motor running is lighter than the motor running of its direct competitors, and presents the advantage of removable wet lining that guarantee easy maintenance and lower costs.
The Multi Turbo System turbine – MTS – with variable geometry system is electronically controlled thus guaranteeing faster responses, better performance and retaking, in addition to better thermal efficiency. This component also operates as engine brake in the exhaust system. The Exhaust Gas Recirculation system – EGR – is a re-circulator and re-cooler coupled with the block that reutilizes part of the exhaustion emissions which get back to the camera, producing combustion at lower temperatures with less discharge rates.
The new engine brake system of the Dual Power Brake cylinder head – DPB – activates the engine’s cylinder head that is electronically integrated into the turbine. Its advantages are: increasing the operational average speed, the brake force, safety, retaking with fuel reduction, and speed on downward slopes. Presenting less gear shifts, low maintenance costs, and improved brakes and tires service life.
Transmission and clutch
The transmission applied to the new extra-heavy Constellation is the modern ZF 16S 1685 TD with 16 synchronized gears. With excellent variation of gears and high torque capacity (1800 Nm), its aluminum crankcase is 80 kg lighter than the model used so far in the brand’s heavy models. It has an assisted pneumatic coupling system that assures further precision and comfort at gear shifting. The transmission lubricating oil cooler allows bigger changing intervals, since such transmission functions at lower temperatures thus resulting in longer service life.
The Sachs clutch presents a series assembly that facilitates maintenance and interchangeability with the high ton segment: pull type activating bearing, pneumatically assisted hydraulic running, diaphragm type plate with printed case and shock pre-absorbing disc, 430 mm diameter and Sachs 620 C friction material.
Comfortable suspension and strong shafts
On the new Constellation 6X2 models the rear suspension is the rocking arm type that reduces the suspension movement during high torque thus reducing cabin vibrations and improving the driver’s comfort. The 4X2 tractor has series rear suspension with two pneumatic cushions and tensioning springs, double action telescopic shock absorbers and standard Panhard bars – optionally there is the metallic suspension with leaf spring.
The 6X2 counts on Meritor MS 23-185 tractive rear axles with maximum capacity of 60 tons, and series differential transversal blocking system to the VW 25.370 tractor. Such system assures better traction in mudholes, slippery roads or upward slopes. The differential block is activated through a button pressed by the driver on the cabin panel.
A device for partial or total lifting of the third axle allows the Constellation 6X2 vehicles to have also better traction. The Extra Traction Device - ETD – ensures part of the third axle load, during partial lifting, to be transferred to the tractive axle. It is also easily operated by a button on the panel, and assuring maximum traction efficiency on slopes.
The 6X4 models have Meritor MD/MR 25-168 tractive rear axles jointed with the strong and well known Randon rear suspension (bogie type rigid shafts in tandem).
Braking Safety
The Volkswagen launchings present a braking system with primary, secondary and regenerative reservoirs with 10 bar working pressure that increase the compressed air volume and improve its performance. The hand valves installed on the panel both for handbrakes and semi-trailer brakes allows safe driving for vehicles.
On the front wheels the brake housings and brake pads are integrated with those of the VW 19.320 Titan Tractor. On the rear wheels the housings are Master HO that allows the vehicle to park on 12% slopes using the handbrakes.
The air dryer is standard equipment to all new models, and the Consep (oil separator) valve system is an optional system.
Diverse alternatives of fuel tanks
The VW Constellation 19.370 models offer the following alternatives to install fuel tanks: one plastic 275 liters reservoir, two plastic 275 liters tanks totalizing 550 liters or a 480 liters aluminum reservoir. On the 25 tons models there are two aluminum tanks with interlinking valve totaling 620 liters. And on the VW 31.370 there is the option to install one or two plastic reservoirs with respectively 275 liters or 550 liters of fuel. All options may be translated into vast launching autonomy.
Cabin presents also new items
Among the novelties of new Volkswagen Constellation extra-heavy trucks there are the guarantees of a 4X2 model capacity of pulling a semi-trailer with 30 pallets, and a 6X2 truck towing a 28 pallets trailer or a B-train attached to 7.8 meters long wagons – both vehicles using bed type cabins.
The cabin is the great trump card of the Constellation line due to its excellent ergonomics, easy checking of daily maintenance items, hydraulic tipping, instrument panel with inboard computer, perfect thermal-acoustic insulation and six years guarantee against perforating corrosion. All trucks are offered with the options for bed or stretched cabin.
Launchings have the new High Comfort cabin suspension system with regulated front and rear shock absorbers. This item is standard for the 25 tons models thus causing them to be the most comfortable trucks of the Brazilian market sector. The equipment is optional for the 19 and 31 tons products. New buttons to start the transversal blocking of the differential, to activate the engine brake, and to control the maximum traction also complete the instrument panel to the driver.
The Constellation Volkswagen trucks equipped with stretched cabin have an important optional item: a pliable bed frequently required by carriers and professional drivers, which provides more comfort for the resting period during their travels. Seeing that it is 1.95 meter long and 620 cm wide, the flat bed is vertically fixed behind the driver and the passenger seats when the vehicle is in motion.
The cabin tipping of the Constellation extra-heavy trucks will be safer due to a key installed on the hydraulic pump that restrains violations and vandalism acts in addition to an involuntary procedure. Additionally to these novelties, the 19 and 25 tons vehicles will have optional long distance headlights.
VOLKSNET, real time technology
Together with the new Constellation extra-heavy, Volkswagen Trucks and Buses has a real time safety, telemetry, tracking and monitoring solution: VOLKSNET. It is an industry’s original solution platform that uses the highest technology to meet all the transportation market needs.
Allowing total coverage throughout Brazil and international routes, VOLKSNET is a tool that offers to users the possibility of complete management and control of fleet and of the driver’s performance, as well as the total control of cargo transported along the daily 24 hours. Developed according the requirements of insurance and risk management Companies, the VOLKSNET optimize the transportation operations through information derived from its system.
A fleet manager may, in real time, obtain data such as the vehicle location, fuel consumption, speed, alerts, breaches related to bad driving, sudden braking, and motion in neutral gear.
Totally developed in Brazil, the VOLKSNET kit is offered with the following components: a communication module, a GPS localizing antenna, a GPRS communication antenna, an alphanumerical keyboard, and optionally an Inmarsat D+ satellite antenna. The VOLKSNET is also prepared to receive the installation of all accessories that may be required by insurance and risk management Companies, such as lockers.
The VOLKSNET has safety software that meets the market demands and allows the risk management Companies to supervise and manage the cargo transportation with perfect interaction and communication with driver and vehicle through instructions, messages, and definition of safety rules.
And the VOLKSNET Internet Portal is a service offered by Volkswagen Trucks and Buses to users having password access. Such service will meet the telemetry and logistics needs through management reports of the main items of the vehicle operation and alarms.
The assembling company is also able to install the VOLKSNET on Constellation models with 250 hp and 320 hp Cummins motor.

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles celebrates “60 years of the Bulli”, affectionate term for the VW Camper, from 5 - 7 October in Hanover International VW Camper event with old timers and cult band.
3-day programme covering approx. 120,000 qm
At Hanover on 25 July 2007 Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles celebrates the VW “Bulli” – it was precisely 60 years ago that Dutch Volkswagen importer Ben Pon discovered a neat vehicle at the Wolfsburg factory which Volkswagen staff had built themselves to transport heavy panels around the site. This it was that provided the catalyst soon afterwards for the first sketch and concept of the “Bulli”, later to become the driving force of the economy, vehicle of choice for the flower power generation, holiday camper and people carrier. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has used the unparalleled history of this vehicle as an opportunity to organise an international VW Camper event from 5 to 7 October at the exhibition centre in Hanover.
This is the first time that Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has organised its own event. Hundreds of unusual, historical VW Campers are expected to make the journey to the three-day event in Hanover. Seven years after EXPO 2000, Hermesplatz, just in front of Hall 27 at the exhibition centre, will once again have the feel of an international exhibition with guests arriving from a number of countries around the world as well as a show and entertainment programme and open air film screenings.
“Scarcely any other vehicle invokes as many emotions as the VW Bulli. Back then it stood for new departures, economic success, independence as well as fun and travel. It is pleasant, reliable and a real cult vehicle. We want to establish the unrivalled legacy of our brand with the international VW Camper event and hope to revive the Bulli brand in the future” explains Stephan Schaller, spokesman for Brand Management, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.
From 5 – 7 October Camper drivers will be able to display their vehicles on some 108,000 m2 of park area. Wandering through the rows of vehicles visitors will be able to take a look at the lovingly restored, historic models such as the T1, T2 , T3 and T4 as well as the latest products and talk to their current owners if they wish.
Historic VW Bullis will be driven in convoy to the exhibition centre
In another 18,000 m2 area on Hermesplatz an exhibition is planned where guests will be able to take a trip 60 years back in time with the VW Camper and see which model was on the road in which decade. Families with VW Campers will be able to camp in specially designated areas and there will be Bulli Club stands as well as an autojumble.
The action starts on Friday, 5 October when a convoy of historic Bullis will begin their journey from the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles plant to the exhibition centre.
In the evenings open air cinema nights are planned featuring films where the VW Camper has played a starring role. “Little Miss Sunshine”, a heartwarming American family road movie will be the main feature. This is because as well as stars from the world of music and showbiz a number of international film-makers are fans of the cult Camper.
On Sunday, 6 October there will be prizes awarded during the day for historical models in the “Oldest T1, T2, T3”, “Most attractive T1 to T5”, “Most original T1, T2, T3”, “Furthest journey” and “Pimp my Bulli” categories. Guests will have the opportunity to see the most attractive and unusual VW Campers in the world and learn from their owners why it’s this vehicle in particular that they love so much. Winners are promised extraordinary prizes which money can’t buy, including tours of the plant and Bulli-themed trips.
One of the highlights of the international VW Camper meet will be the show on Sunday evening. Since the VW Camper is inextricably linked to music from the era and given that today, as in the past, well-known stars use them when on tour, music will form an important part of the event.
International band and local musicians at open air concert
A band with its roots in the ‘60s will give a open air concert and take visitors on a musical journey back to the days of flower power, love and peace and, of course, rock’n’roll to recreate the spirit of this decade.
These top stars will be supported by other musicians including local band “Sweety Glitter and the Sweethearts”. The band from Braunschweig is not only known for its lavish and atmospheric stage shows with songs from the ‘70s, but also for its loud, colourful and extravagant glam rock costumes.
To round off the experience test drives using the latest products from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles are planned at the neighbouring ADAC (German Automobile Club) site with a shuttle service to take participants there. After breakfast on Sunday the Bullis and guests will then depart again at various stages throughout the day.
In order to prepare for the international VW Camper event Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has set up an advisory body made up of Bulli specialists, including founders of the largest Bulli club in Germany.
VW Camper drivers who would like to take part can register from 1 August 2007 on the website www.vwn.de where they will find full information on the exhibition centre, parking facilities and provisions.
