Abstract

With the Amarok, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is launching one of the most modern pickup trucks in the world onto the market. No competitor in its class is as economical. Many of the technologies implemented in the Amarok are being used for the first time in this segment. These include bi-turbocharging for the top version of the TDI diesel engine with 120 kW (163 PS) power. The 5254 mm long vehicle in ladder frame concept is available with rear-wheel drive as well as non-permanently and permanently four-wheel drive.
