VW マルチバン 新型、初のPHVを設定…生産開始

The new model has a three -row seat, with a maximum of 7 people on board.The second and third rows of seats are up to 25 % lighter than conventional models, and can be attached and detached.The second row seat can be turned 180 degrees and can be face -to -face layout.The third row seats are replaced with three independent seats from the conventional bench seat, and can be removed one by one.

The conventional hand brake has been abolished, and the new model adopts an electric parking brake.The only transmission is "DSG" controlled by the shift by wire.

The shift lever was replaced by a switch and placed on the instrument panel.As a result, the crew space is expanding.The new Martivan has secured a 469 -liter luggage space behind the third row seat.If the third row seat is removed, it will expand to 1844 liters (1850 liters with a panoramic glass roof).

The power of the entire PHV system is 218ps

Volkswagen Martivan New Martivan has been developed based on the Volkswagen Group's "MQB" platform.For the first time in the successive Martivan and the Volkswagen commercial vehicle model, the "E hybrid" of the plug -in hybrid vehicle (PHV) is set.

The engine of the new Martivan E hybrid PHV powertrain is directly injected by the engine.The 4 -liter inline 4 -cylinder gasoline turbo "TSI" generates a maximum output of 150ps.The motor has a maximum output of 115ps.The entire PHV system with the engine and the motor is drawn out the power of 218ps.The transmission is 6 -speed DSG.EV mode enables silent zero emission driving.

The secondary battery is a lithium -ion battery with a power storage capacity of 13 kWh.It is mounted under the flat floor of the new multi -van.As a result, the vehicle centered on the vehicle was lowered and the handling performance was pursued without sacrificing the indoor space.The charging socket is located on the right side of the front fender.

In the new product production, the automation rate is raised to 93 %

Production has begun at Hannover Plant, Germany, and the production preparation of the new Martivan in Volkswagen Martivan was in parallel with the construction of new Hannover factories.Despite the spread of the new colon virus infection and the lack of supply of partial parts such as semiconductors, the production of the new multicivan has begun as scheduled.At the Hannover factory, the new Martivan PHV was turned off.

The Hannover factory is promoting automation and digitalization strategies.For example, in the press process, the proportion of automation in the conventional manufacturing process was about 77 %.In the new Martivan, this was raised to 93 %.

The monitoring of the manufacturing robot is managed multiple processes from one place.Digital devices such as smartwatches were connected to a manufacturing robot.It is said that downtime can be avoided because the need for parts replacement and maintenance is reported in advance.

A new two -color system is currently introduced in the painting process.Here, the new Martivan is finished in a popular two -tone color.In addition, the efficiency of the assembly process is improved by the automatic transport system of the parts.Automatic driving cars in the factory will carry parts directly to the assembly line.
