Driver can steer the eT! by ‘drive stick’ from passenger’s side as alternative

Wolfsburg / Potsdam, 18 November 2011 – For over 60 years now, commercial vehicles from Volkswagen have maintained a visual presence on the world’s streets. They are helpers in everyday life, which bring us people goods, services, postal deliveries and occasionally emergency assistance as well. Volkswagen Group Research, which is responsible for the world of tomorrow, together with the German Post Office (‘Deutsche Post AG’), which is one of the largest customers of lightweight commercial vehicles – as well as the University of Art at Braunschweig – formed a think tank on future transport and mobility issues.

Explore the great outdoors in style with the new California Berghaus

As the weather starts to take a turn for the worse and those long summer nights and festivals seem a distant memory, it needn’t be just hardcore campers who can still enjoy the great outdoors as Volkswagen adds the limited edition Berghaus to the versatile California range.

Created in collaboration with the outdoor clothing specialist, the California Berghaus has been specially developed to be the ultimate vehicle for exploring and enjoying the outdoors in comfort and style.

The limited edition Berghaus model boasts all of the creature comforts that standard California models offer, including seating and accommodation for four, thanks to an electrically-operated pop-up roof, a fully-functioning integrated kitchen in the rear living space including a fridge and gas-powered cooker, and fold-away table and chairs.

In addition to the extensive list of equipment fitted as standard, the newest addition to the California range also features a bike rack, side-mounted awning, 18-inch bi-colour ‘Dakar’ alloy wheels, metallic paint, Berghaus-branded carpet mats and waterproof seat covers and Berghaus badging.

Each vehicle also comes with an exclusive ‘Berghaus pack’ to prepare customers for exploring the outdoors in style. The pack includes a Berghaus ‘Freeflow 25′ rucksack, two ‘Flare’ sleeping bags, gloves, hats, insulated mugs, a travel water bottle, a flask and a map case. All that’s missing is the Kendal mint cake! Continue reading »

Westfalia Meet-ups are Coming !

General 5 Responses »

Jul 262011

One of the things that we found out during our recent survey was that Westfalia owners are looking for opportunities to meet up with other owners.
Westfalia.org and a group of local coordinators from across the U.S. and Canada as well as Mexico, Chile and Ireland have heard you loud and clear and we’re going to create informal meet-up opportunities for Westfalia owners. Nothing complicated, no cost. Just drop by and say hello.
So, keep an eye on the “Events” listing in the column to your right.
If you’re looking to coordinate a local event, drop us a line.

We’re definitely not looking to compete with local club events, so if you know of any that will be occurring, let us know and we’ll add those to the list.
