Advantages of VAN cars – main image

VANs are very popular, especially among people who like to travel a lot. There are many reasons for their success, because cars of this type are simply multifunctional. In the case of such cars, regular inspections are important, thanks to which the driver can constantly check the technical condition of the vehicle. Considering their special type of operation (long distances), even the smallest defects cannot be ignored.

The main role of VANs

Cars with a VAN type body can be used for various tasks - both for transporting people and materials. It is also worth emphasizing that VANs are perfect for towing caravans (as well as regular caravans), but you must remember about the regulations that clearly define which vehicles can tow specific trailers. The weight of lighter models of trailers does not exceed 750 kg, and the term "heavy" is defined as those whose weight is higher. The total weight of the vehicle with the trailer (GVM) is also important - it is important if you only have a license for driving category B. In short, the regulations allow you to drive vehicles with a GVM not exceeding 4250 kg, so before choosing a trailer, the driver must analyze the weight of both vehicle and trailer, so as not to exceed the maximum permissible GVM value.

For the whole family

Summer is the best time to travel and excursions. Many people decide to travel with their own car. Families who plan a longer trip or camping choose VANs. Driving in such cars is simply very convenient, especially if several people are going on a trip at the same time. The VANs can hold a lot of luggage, which is especially useful on camping sites. Such spacious cars make it possible to pack an additional tent or sports equipment. Many people increase their possibilities by using racks or bicycle carriers, thanks to which the whole family also has two wheels at their disposal on vacation. Another advantage of VANs as vehicles ideal for traveling is the possibility of creating various configurations for transport (this, of course, depends on the specific car model).

Technical research

Each car must undergo a technical inspection once a year. VAN type cars should be inspected more often, as such cars are used much more intensively. Drivers should not approach this topic as a purely legal obligation, but most of all as concern for their own safety and that of their passengers. VANs are designed to cover very long distances, so they are usually solid. However, each vehicle has defects that must be removed before setting off on the road - both for the safety of all road users and for your own convenience during the holidays.

2,500,000 cars from the Volkswagen Poznań factory
Poznań, 27 July 2016 - Today, the two and a half millionth car in the history of the Company rolled off the assembly line of Volkswagen Poznań. This number of cars has been produced in Poznań since 1993. The jubilee is an opportunity for memories, summaries and presentation of plans for the Poznań Plants. The owner of the unique 2.5 millionth Volkswagen Caddy is Mr. Dominik Pochodyła, an entrepreneur who runs an orchard and a pressing plant on a daily basis. “2,500,000 cars are a beautiful anniversary for us. I am proud of our employees and how much our company has developed over the last twenty years. We are the largest employer in Greater Poland, a strong production center for the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles brand with an average annual production of 170-175 thousand cars. Our position will strengthen with the launch of the new Volkswagen Crafter plant in Białężyce near Września, which is scheduled for the second half of this year ”. - says Dietmar Mnich, Director of the Volkswagen Plant in Antoninek in Poznań. Poznań did not immediately become the production center for Transporter and Caddy. In 1994, the assembly of Skoda Felicia cars was started in the factory - this year, less than 800 units of this model were manufactured here. In the following years, various models of brands were also assembled in Poznań: SEAT (Cordoba), Audi (A6) and Volkswagen (including Bora, Polo, Passat). In 1995, as the first automotive company in Poland, the factory obtained the DIN ISO 9002 certificate, which confirms the company's special care for the environment. Just a year later, Volkswagen Poznań established a foundry. To this day, it produces aluminum components, which are then installed in many cars of various brands from the Volkswagen concern. The years 2002 and 2003 were a breakthrough in the company's history. Then the last Skoda Fabia rolled off the assembly lines of the Poznań factory, and the factory was prepared for the production of two base models - Volkswagen Caddy and Volkswagen Transporter. Significant expansion of the factory involving, inter alia, on the construction of a modern paint shop and the creation of a special body shop, it meant not only an increase in employment, but also in the total production capacity from about 40,000 to about 170,000 cars per year. As a result, on December 11, 2007, the factory celebrated the production of the millionth car, the Caddy Maxi Furgon. In 2015, 170,810 vehicles were produced at Volkswagen Poznań: 20,447 Volkswagen Transporter models and 150,363 Volkswagen Caddy cars. These models are sent from Poznań to customers all over the world. Continuously since 2003, Volkswagen Poznań is the only factory in the world that produces the Volkswagen Caddy light commercial vehicle. Currently, the production capacity of the factory allows for the production of 720 cars a day.
