4x4 technology of pictures Download for press information Volkswagen bus "extreme"*Der all wheel specialist Seikel offers a Volkswagen bus, which is more than only transporter to 2007 starting from the spring, region sedan or leisure vehicle. Based on the standard 4MOTION now a vehicle stands in the offer, for each jeep not only due to its height in the shade more stellt.*Der the "extreme" is the symbiosis of two popular vehicle kinds - it combines the habitat of a region sedan or the work space of a transporter with the terrain of a jeep. Owing to a high putting that rises up all wheel propelled VOLKSWAGEN bus zirka 2.20 meters up. A guard measure, which recruits itself from a clearance of approximately 40 centimeters - that is far more than double Serie.Die basis of the high putting forms the 235/85 R16-Bereifung and a particularly developed chassis, with which changed crosswise and diagonal steering wheel are used at front and rear axle with portals. With a portal an elevator disalignment and an additional reduction are meant by gear wheels at each individual wheel. These portals make a high putting possible close Radnabe.Doch the portal contained, as already suggested, a further function. Translations of the individual six courses the going off the particularly shortened transmission are shortened again by the wheel reduction by 33 per cent. Thus also difficult area passages can be concerned controlled and slowly. The gradeability "extreme" is thereby about 100 per cent, thus 45 Grad.Die to used safe handling characteristics VOLKSWAGEN of the bus remains as far as possible. In addition above all the widened trace and the taut feather/spring identification contribute. The excess weight for the complete change amounts to zirka 180 kilograms. The additional load remains however owing to a higher permissible total weight receive-receiving preserved robustness and area fitness of the ultimative and something other jeep became over many kilometers on sand and crushed stone runways in the northern Sahara geteste
