We all love a trusty Volkswagen Transporter. And who
doesn’t love a tippy truck? a UK firm has developed a new tipper body cab
chassis variant of the popular Volkswagen Transporter, uniquely combining two
things we have a soft spot for.
Created and developed, in partnership with
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (UK), by Ingimex Ltd – the UK’s largest
manufacturer of light commercial vehicle bodies – the tipper body conversion is
available for both T30 (3000 kg GVW) and T32 (3200 kg GVW) versions of the
Volkswagen Transporter, offering payloads of around 800 kg and 1000 kg,
respectively.
The new custom is officially called the ‘Tip-Up’,
and the busy bodies at Ingimex additionally offer dropside bodies for the
Transporter. Referred to as the ‘Pick-Up’, the T30- and
T32-based variants boast higher payloads of around 1000 kg and 1200 kg,
respectively.
Providing potential buyers with a more compact
alternative to larger Volkswagen Crafter-based commercial vehicles, Ingimex
says its Tip-Up and Pick-up Transporter conversions are also compatible with
Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system, “making it a highly capable
vehicle for use on- and off-road”.
