The new contract will see 20 Transporters join Siemens’ growing wind turbine engineering support team, which is responsible for the installation, servicing and maintenance of the company’s wind turbine portfolio.
Siemens said the Transporter’s BlueMotion Technology was a key reason for securing the contract and has also opted for Volkswagen’s 4MOTION four-wheel drive system throughout its fleet of Transporters. Each Transporter has also been equipped with bespoke racking.
Paul Tate, commodity manager at Siemens, commented: “The Volkswagen Transporter offers a van that can not only match our very strict environmental standards, but also delivers the performance and payload capabilities that we require to operate our business effectively and efficiently.
“Working in locations that are often not accessible by road, our engineers require a van that can be relied on day-in-day-out to get them and their equipment to site without any issues. Volkswagen’s 4MOTION four-wheel drive system will work well on the kind of terrain that our engineering teams experience on a daily basis.”
