Crafter Dropside

Built for business

Whatever you’re building on site, we believe in building partnerships. Working with conversion specialists Ingimex, we’ve designed a versatile VolkswagenCrafter Dropside. We understand you need the flexibility to tackle different jobs. That’s why you can choose from two different wheelbases, three load bed lengths and two cab sizes to best suit your business. With a substantial payload and many specialist features as standard, the VolkswagenCrafter Dropside is built for the job and the journey.

  • Recessed, load down lashing rings, tested to 800kg
  • Three-level load lashing bolted assembly with 400kg gantry capacity
  • Seamless aluminium boards, perfect for livery
  • Boards and lock assemblies, tested to a burst load of 1.7t

Stay safe on the road

The Volkswagen Crafter Dropside comes with a range of driver assistance features to help you stay safe on the road as well as optional extras such as lane assist and cruise control.

Automatic post-collision braking

This state-of-the-art system helps to prevent follow-on collisions. When the airbag sensor detects a collision, the brakes are automatically applied to avoid or lessen the impact of a secondary collision. The hazard and brake lights are illuminated, and the driver can take control at any time.

As standard on all Volkswagen vans.

Electromechanical servotronic steering

Fitted as standard, Electromechanical Servotronic steering provides a speed-sensitive operation with active return. This improves the steering sensation around the mid-point, providing a level of steering precision previously nonexistent in commercial vehicles.

Lane assist

Available as an option, Lane Assist countersteers the vehicle if the driver unintentionally drifts from a lane. The system also emits audible and visual warnings via the multi-function display to alert the driver of danger.

The driver alert system is fitted as standard. It warns the driver with visual and audible warning signals to recommend a break from driving as soon as it registers behaviour that indicates tiredness.

Road sign display (not illustrated)

This optional system detects road signs and informs the driver of any driving restrictions.

Fog lights with integrated static turning light

These lights improve visibility in adverse weather conditions. The headlight on the inside of the curve illuminates the roadside when turning.

Hill descent assist (not illustrated)
The optional Hill Descent Assist system lets you drive down slopes in a safe, controlled way by adjusting the engine speed and applying the brakes if necessary.
