The factory specification drop-side bodies offer versatile load space of either 5.2 m2 in single cab form or 4.2 m2 in double cab arrangement, according to the automaker.
The new chassis cab derivative comes equipped with a number of technological and safety features, including BlueMotion Technology modifications as standard, which includes low rolling resistance tires, regenerative braking and Start/Stop systems. The Chassis Cab range is offered with either 6-speed manual or 7-speed DSG transmission, according to the automaker.
In addition to BlueMotion technology, the Transporter Chassis Cab also comes standard with DAB+ digital radio, 5-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth phone connectivity and USB connection. Standard equipment also includes Volkswagen’s Automatic Post-Collision Braking system, which automatically applies the brakes after a collision, reducing the risk or severity of a secondary impact, according to the automaker.
