- Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is presenting at IAA Commercial
Vehicles fair right now tomorrow's world of electrified transport and
urban logistics - according to the brand's motto "Transporting your
Future".

Dr Thomas Sedran, Chairman of the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles
Brand's Board of Management, outlined the brand's objectives: "In the
Tradition of Volkswagen to be one step ahead, we are just now working
on solutions for the challenges of tomorrow, think ahead about
sustainable mobility for our customers and for better air quality in
our cities."

The Cargo e-Bike.

In an in-house project, the brand developed a three-wheel cargo
pedelec, which brand customers will be able to use to create more
options for the "last mile" - tradesmen, for instance, could use it
to ride to maintenance and service jobs with climate neutrality. The
Cargo e Bike can carry up to 210 kg - including the driver - and can
handle a cargo volume of one-half cubic metre. Equipped with a
250-watt mid-mounted motor with an automatic gearbox, it has a small
turning circle and innovative tilt-compensating technology which
always keeps the load platform horizontal. "Our Cargo e-Bike brings
together all of the known usage and ride properties to make a perfect
product", emphasises Sedran.

The ABT e-Caddy and the ABT e-Transporter.

These two new, electrically powered solutions for urban traffic
were developed in cooperation with VWCV's strategic partner ABT, and
they close a previous gap in the brand's electrified model programme.
With the kick-off of the e-Crafter, retrofit solutions have already
been prepared for the small vans and city delivery vehicles that will
arrive in the market in early 2019. Battery capacities are 36 and 72
kWh. This enables the vehicles to cover a range of 200 or 400 km.

The I.D. BUZZ CARGO concept van.

As the ideal vehicle for the urban traffic of tomorrow, it is of
course all-electric and offers many design solutions and maximum
convenience for the driver. Also new: the Internet of Things is
