Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is to supply a further 158 Transporter vans to the AA.
The latest vehicles, which replace older vehicles being retired, join 500 Transporters previously supplied for use by the AA’s roadside patrol fleet and will be equipped with warning beacons, racking and a deployable recovery trolley.
Other additions include twin batteries and a higher spec driver’s seat, among other options. Out of the 158 Transporters, 24 also have the DSG gearbox.
Chris Wiltshire, fleet engineer for the AA, said: “We couldn’t be happier to continue the fantastic relationship The AA has with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. We have a vehicle that has been developed to suit our needs, and which is converted with specialist racking to accommodate The AA’s tow system, additional equipment and tools.
“The close working partnership provides services to The AA’s wider customer base and supports Volkswagen Group by providing the dedicated Volkswagen breakdown assistance service.”
