Rushlift, a materials handling equipment specialist, has taken delivery of 55 Volkswagen Crafters, which have been fitted with a bespoke configuration.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has fitted each of the Crafters with a 350 watt inverter, specialised racking, and a workbench, allowing Rushlift’s Field Service Engineers to support customers.
Alina Sirghi, fleet controller at Rushlift, said: “We’re proud to invest in the first phase of our service vehicle replacement programme, with 55 new Volkswagen vans now on the road for our Field Service Engineers.
“This marks an important step in supporting our growing customer base across the UK.
“These vehicles not only enhance the reliability and efficiency of our service operations, but also reflect our commitment to equipping our engineers with the best possible tools for the job.
“Partnering with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles ensures we maintain a fleet that meets our high standards for safety, performance and sustainability.”
The Crafter was recently updated, with enhanced advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), a 10-inch touchscreen, and eSIM connectivity.
Offering up to 18.4 square metres of load space, and a payload of 2.4 tonnes, the Crafter is Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ largest model.
Craig Cavanagh, national fleet manager at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, said: “That Rushlift selected the Volkswagen Crafter to grow their fleet is a testament to our commitment to providing the best work tools for our trade customers.
“The Crafter’s comfort, upgraded dashboard and driver assist systems make it a reliable, safe and versatile vehicle for Rushlift’s drivers.”
