At the 30th anniversary of the birth of the first Syncro concept car, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle displayed the new TRISTAR concept car. It has the Swiss Army knife-like versatility, flexibility and reliability to meet a variety of uses. Volkswagen TRISTAR has combined the outstanding configuration of the current T series models as never before. It has excellent off-road performance, flexible transportation and storage capabilities, whether for service, transportation, or open sea surf, TRISTAR can bring you more choices for your trip.
Future Transporter
At this year's International Commercial Vehicles Show in Hannover, Germany, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles displayed the concept car named TRISTAR. This sturdy pickup truck features a long cab, innovative bumper and short wheelbase, and a Volkswagen 4MOTION® full-time four-wheel drive system with a mechanical rear differential lock. Compared with the existing T series models, its ground clearance has also been increased by 30mm. The designers used the simple and novel design language that Volkswagen used to use: the sharp appearance, the lines surrounding the body, the LED headlights, and the re-engraved three-dimensional front face. All this gives the TRISTAR concept car a large and determined image. The integrated dashboard is a tribute to the appearance and simplicity of the early Volkswagen Transporter models. The load zone is divided into two layers. Underneath the plate of the TRISTAR concept car is a large capacity dust- and water-resistant drawer, to which a spare wheel can be fixed. Both the driver's seat and the driver's seat in the car can be turned and slid, and a 20-inch tablet computer table and advanced video conferencing and sound system are all available, which makes TRISTAR a perfect meeting place. What is more worth mentioning is that it also installed a coffee machine.
Multi-purpose models for professional use
Extreme off-road performance combined with flexible transport and loading capabilities make TRISTAR a mobile workstation, mobile high-tech office, and even a surfboard for surfing. Whether it is an architectural designer, movie crew, service expert, landscape architect or expeditionary explorer, the safe, high-quality and flexible Volkswagen TRISTAR is a wise choice for every user.
Benchmarking at the same level
Dr. Eckhard Scholz, chairman of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Management Committee, said at the global launch ceremony, “TRISTAR has gathered all the outstanding qualities of the T series models like never before. It has demonstrated its extraordinary potential and proved itself as a benchmark in its class. Therefore, TRISTAR integrates the past and the future: on the 30th anniversary of the birth of the first Syncro concept car, it shows the advantages of Volkswagen in the four-wheel drive technology and the future sustainable development capability.†He continued to add that “We carefully studied customer needs and established ambitious targets to continuously develop a best-selling model. At the same time, with the success of each new model, we were able to redefine the industry benchmarks for all models.
