Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ recognised converter Clarks Vehicle Conversions has launched a new welfare Crafter to support mobile workforces.
The business joined VW’s Converter Recognition Scheme earlier this year and has now developed its first welfare vehicle, based on the Volkswagen Crafter.
Aimed at workers such as motorway maintenance crews, the seven-seat welfare vehicle include a cassette toilet with a modesty screen, 2kw diesel heater, 700w boiler, 400w microwave, double-tap hand wash in front and rear, and an optional eco solar pack.
The van has also achieved N1 type approval, enabling it to benefit from commercial vehicle excise duty. This provides a saving of £1,970 compared to equivalent M1 vehicles in the first year.
All partners on the VW converter scheme have already gone through a rigorous certification process and the work is fully covered by a warranty that matches the term of the base vehicle warranty.
As a further benefits, customers can liaise with a single point of contact at their Van Centre for all servicing and aftersales support
Nick Axtell, specialist sales manager for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, said: “We are delighted that the first welfare Crafter is now available from Clarks Vehicle Conversions. At Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, we are committed to providing the best bespoke and off-the-shelf conversions and with our Converter Recognition Scheme, we are able to work with our customers and cater to their bespoke needs.”
The welfare VW Crafter is available to order now.
