Volkswagen Transport Ingimex tipper at CV Show 2017<\/p><\/div>\n

The Volkswagen Transporter can now be ordered from VW dealers with a tipper body, thanks to a partnership with converter Ingimex.<\/p>\n

I actually flagged this up in my report from the CV Show 2017<\/a>, where the new model was on display on the Ingimex stand (picture above). But I didn’t have all the details then — so here they are now.<\/p>\n

The Ingimex body is available in two formats, a dropside and a tipper. The tipper body will be branded as the Tip-Up, while the dropside is called Pick-Up. Both bodies are available T30 and T32 (3,000kg and 3,200kg GVW) Transporter models.<\/p>\n

If you’re not familiar with the range, the main difference between these two is their payloads — the T30 has an 800kg payload, while the T32 has a 1,000kg payload.<\/p>\n

According to Nick Axtell, who is Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ Specialist Sales Manager, the market for small tippers is\u00a0“progressive and growing”<\/em>. Although most building and construction types are still likely to opt for a tipper or dropside based on the larger VW Crafter van, the Transporter Tip-Up and Pick-Up models could have great niche appeal.<\/p>\n

The Tip-Up’s more compact dimensions could make it ideal for use on large estates or in urban environments. Another potential attraction is that the Tip-Up is available with the Transporter 4MOTION all-wheel drive drivetrain, providing a go-anywhere ability to rival a pickup truck but with lower running costs and a larger, more functional load area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
