The hardest workers You
The hardest workers You shouldn’t have a favourite, but you will. Get more than you bargained for, without having to bargain. A school’s transport requirements vary as much as the excuses scholars give for not having done their homework. Thankfully the Caddy Crew Bus combines flexibility, versatility and reliability to deal with any situation. The Caddy Crew Bus is Volkswagen’s hard-working compact people mover that exceeds expectations. It seats 5 comfortably and has an optional 7-seater package if you’re looking for even more of an overachiever in your vehicle. Add to that comprehensive standard safety features such as Automatic Post-Collision Braking, ESP, EDL, Hill Hold and Traction Control and you’ll be hard pressed to find a situation on the school run that the Caddy Crew Bus can’t handle with ease. All of that and we haven’t even mentioned the German-engineered technology that results in a low cost of ownership. It’s the ultimate runabout school shuttle, a bit of a teacher’s pet really. With every generation the Transporter Crew Bus just keeps getting better. Its versatile nature means it doesn’t just adapt to any situation, it excels at them. There are two wheelbases available, short and long, meaning you can have from five seats all the way up to eleven seats! With all the extra space for people you’ll be glad to know it has the full host of enhanced safety features including ESP, Automatic Post- Collision Braking and 4MOTION®, our permanent all-wheel-drive system that delivers power to all four wheels as required. Not only does it meet international safety regulations, but parental safety expectations too. Topping it off, the Transporter Crew Bus is covered by a 2-year / unlimited kilometre warranty and a 3-year / 60,000km Genuine AutoMotion Service Plan.
