VOLKSWAGEN has revealed the fourth model in its commercial vehicle line-up with the unveiling of a new pickup concept.

The new model aims to set new standards in the one-tonne pickup class. It is expected to go into production at the end of 2009.

This pick-up will be built at Volkswagen’s ‘Pacheco’ plant in Argentina and introduced initially to markets in Europe, South America, South Africa and Australia.

The pickup is all-new in the Volkswagen line-up and is the first commercial vehicle to be designed under Volkswagen Group design chief, Walter de Silva’s command.

It has been designed with a styling to link it to other group models and give it a distinctive yet familiar appearance.

The concept measures 5.18 metres in length and is 1.9 metres wide, and with four doors and four seats it is ideal for recreational or business use.  The pickup also has the ability to take a standard-sized Euro pallet sideways in the flat cargo bed. 

Under the bonnet, new common rail turbo-diesel engines will be used in the pickup to ensure it is powerful, yet clean and efficient and meets the necessary emissions requirements.
