The new plant of Volkswagen Group, which was built in record time in the Polish town of Września (Poznań Voivodeship), recently released its 200, 000th car for what it took just 39 months. A day pipeline company is getting 420 VW Crafter, MAN and TGE.
Director of Volkswagen Commercial vehicles in Viasna Christian Engel said, "We are very pleased to release in Września 200 thousandth car Crafter. This is confirmation of the high quality of work performed by our team and recognition of our customers worldwide." In the autumn of 2016 in Viasna released 200 thousand vehicles, of which about 172,6 thousand LCV models Crafter and 27.4 thousand models for TGE sister company MAN.

Only for the first 10 months of this year in Vyesna made 56,4 thousand cars series Crafter (growth of 25.2%): the production record of the plant of Volkswagen Commercial vehicles in the Polish city Viasna – a cause for celebration.
The jubilee car was a Crafter box trucks with 2-liter engine series TDI 177 HP power, manual 6-speed transmission and paint coating of blue color Deep Ocean. This copy will remain in Poland – it will work in a small company in the city of Zielona góra. In the fall of 2016 today at Volkswagen Commercial vehicles produced by the plant Manager Christian Engel celebrates this event together with my team. She says, "Especially the fact that an increasing number of customers, for example, in Poland, opting for the largest model of the brand Volkswagen Commercial vehicles".
Thus, from January to October 2019 in Poland there were more than 10.7 thousand Crafter-s. It is 19% more compared to the same period last year. Only in October 2019 in Poland, there were about 2.8 thousand Crafter vans, which also indicates a significant increase in sales compared to October 2018, amounting to 17.6%.

PS In early December, Volkswagen Commercial vehicles also released in Viasna 1,000 th camper Grand California. The car is in a traditional two-tone red-and-white color transferred to the buyer from Germany.

Anniversary camper equipped with an extra bed on the second floor and a panoramic sunroof over the kitchen space. As additional options installed navigation system Discover Media and solar panel on the front of the roof. Grand California is equipped with a standard turbodiesel TDI 177 HP power aggregated with 8-step "automatic" included in the basic package.
P. P. S. According to the "AUTOSTAT info" registration VW Crafter in Russia amounted to over 10 months of 2019 517 units (+28.9 percent), and only in October – 66 units (growth in 2,3 times), which significantly outpaces growth of this model in the global market. But the model of the twin MAN TGE yet our market has not taken out.
Last year I managed to take it for a test ride on a new VW Crafter 2
On driving experience this great van (unlike the "GAZelle NEXT") resembles a large car, but the turbo seemed very much for such a reputable Ford "delivery truck"
