ELECTRIC VANS WITH VW

ELECTRIC POWERTRAINS COME IN TWO FORMS: PLUG-IN HYBRIDS (PHEV) AND PURE ELECTRIC (BEV).

A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE ROOTED IN HISTORY

The e-mobility buzz was sparked in 1970, and an impressive zero-emission vehicle line-up is emerging, according to Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.

ATTITUDES ARE CHANGING… FAST

Fast-changing consumer opinion is influencing how companies operate. Research from the GlobalData Survey has revealed that 58% of customers would support businesses that are trying to have a positive impact on the environment. This coupled with government incentives and emissions targets means that many consumers not only prefer businesses that demonstrate environmentally conscious operations, but actively avoid those that don’t.

PHEVs AND BEVs – YOUR OPTIONS

Electric powertrains come in two forms: plug-in hybrids (PHEV), which couple a traditional petrol engine with a rechargeable battery, and pure electric (BEV). THE BIG TWO FOR EVs: RANGE & CHARGING

Range and charging time are the two big considerations when switching to electric.

Ensuring you have means to charge and the powertrain can achieve the mileage you need between charges is vital to understanding if a BEV or PHEV is right for you. THE FUTURE COULDN’T BE CLEARER

The future for commercial vehicles is brighter and greener than ever – and because of that Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is planning to extend its electric product line further. The ID BUZZ concept has been previewed ahead of launch in 2022, to demonstrate the brand’s commitment to a sustainable future, while showcasing the blend of practicality, luxury, and cutting-edge technology of future EVs.

CORDED POWER – CORDLESS FREEDOM

Work is easier without an electric cable holding you back, but are cordless tools strong enough for every task? What about the really tough jobs that need large angle grinders, saws or rotary hammers, for example?

Thanks to BITURBO, described by Bosch Professional as its most innovative and powerful range of 18V battery-powered tools ever, cordless convenience now goes much further. Their revolutionary technology brings you the same power and performance as corded tools rated up to 1800W. are much more efficient and powerful, run longer per charge and have up to twice the lifespan. BITURBO motors boost power even further with their maximised airflow, which reduces resistance, and their high-strength neodymium magnets.

Feel the Extreme

BITURBO tools will turbocharge your working life and give you a sensation of extreme power. They achieve that by combining two key elements: a high-performance brushless motor and the high-powered Bosch ProCORE18V Professional Battery System. These two parts have been engineered to work perfectly together and maximise each other’s performance.

Brushes in traditional DC motors wear out, need regular replacement, produce damaging friction, generate excess heat and reduce energy efficiency and power. Brushless motors

A New Dimension of Power

For maximum effect, the BITURBO motor is paired with an 8Ah or 12Ah ProCORE18V battery. Designed to drive and maintain the higher currents needed for power-hungry applications, these advanced batteries feature Bosch’s COOLPACK 2.0 technology. This uses intelligent heat management to optimise efficiency, for greater power and runtime, while extending battery life by preventing damage from overheating.

Meanwhile, the BITURBO motor makes full use of ProCORE18V’s potential. A tool powered by one highly compact, lightweight ProCORE18V battery can match some competitors using two batteries.
