Volkswagen Caminhões focuses on agribusiness with new portfolio
“As one of the main sectors of the Brazilian economy, agribusiness is the focus of investments by Volkswagen Caminhões and this strategy is already yielding positive results. Today, the segment represents a relevant share of our sales, with a portfolio that guarantees the best operating cost for this market. The achievements, however, only lead us to innovate even more and the new generation of Volkswagen trucks arrives to strengthen our offer with greater efficiency, comfort, safety and technology”, says Ricardo Alouche, Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Services.
Among the automaker’s novelties in this edition of Agrishow is the first autonomous truck of the VW brand. The company has just delivered the first 20 units of the VW Constellation 31.280 8×4 with this technology to Vamos and the vehicles will soon be available for lease to agribusiness. The benefit is in the system that identifies its position and follows the pre-programmed route, with an accuracy of 2.5 cm and with minimal variations, impossible to achieve in human driving.
From light to extra heavy for agribusiness
The great highlight of VWCO is its generation of trucks that debut this year and go beyond what is required by current legislation, with significant evolutions for greater efficiency, comfort, safety and technology. The automaker launched, for example, the Constellation Off-Road line, which will be represented by models 33,480 and 32,380. Both equipped with 6×4 traction, they have new advantages tailored for the application: automated transmission as standard, metal bumper with headlight protection, multifunctional steering wheel and driver’s seat with integrated seat belt covered in synthetic leather.
