Volkswagen Electric utility

There is no break mode that is sometimes found to regenerate even more braking. Anyway, a small foot test shows that we slow down a lot like that. Driving is natural as with a modern automatic transmission. You just have to get used to a flexibility driving. With this electric motor which does not make noise, we obviously hear the other noises (bearing, aero, bodywork) more. The comfort pack that is available improves soundproofing. Instead of the tachometer, we have a load indicator or discharge from our battery. It is readable and clear, quite fun at the start but it is true that we do not pay too much attention to it over the kilometers, proof that we naturally lead with this electric utility.

Volkswagen test transport 6.1 ABT E

Volkswagen test transport 6.1 ABT E, the electric transport by ABT. This view is a collaboration with ABT available in all VW dealerships. Apart from its electric motor, it keeps the equipment and the useful load of the transport.

This ABT E transport is offered in 90 km/h version for 138 km of autonomy, it is the one we are in testing today. If we want, we can have this T6.1 electric with a maximum speed of 120 km/h optional which in this case reduces the autonomy to 121 km. That of this test is restrained at 90 km/h.

Equipment comparable to diesel

What is striking as soon as you take the wheel of this etransporter as you could call it is that it does not differentiate it from your brother with its diesel engine on the equipment. The upholstery, the dashboard, the equipment with the 6.5 inch touch screen, the USB sockets, the various and varied storage, manual air conditioning, etc. It is missing the multifunction steering wheel that we do not find here but we are clearly aboard a VW transport 6.1 Except that ours is electric.

On electronic aid, the observation is almost the same since we have the detection of fatigue, lateral wind assistance, post-use automatic braking and various aids found on T6. We also have the recovery of energy to braking on our electrical vul to preserve the autonomy. Comfort, safety and style, many things are standard or optional on this ABT transport which is not just an electrified electrified version. We are well received aboard a transport 6.1 van business.

Volume and payload preserved or almost

What is interesting in this electric van offered by Volkswagen in collaboration with ABT is that the installation of batteries do not ampute the loading volume. The battery pack is placed under the floor and does not change the length or useful height in our utility. We have a useful length from 2724 to 2975 mm in our van which is here in L2H1 dimension, the only one available with the electric motor.

What changes a little necessarily is the payload with a van that is 2104 kg empty against 2002 kg for its L2 equivalent with the TDI 110 horsepower engine. Despite all our Volkswagen ABT benefits from 1096 kg of payload against 998 for the equivalent TDI. A hundred kilos difference in favor of the ABT transport. Last point which is not negligible, this electrical view can be harnessed with a slowdown trailer up to 1500 kg which is not the case for all utilities with so -called clean engines.

Urban driving for this VW transport ABT

Its use is before urban, it is for this reason that it is basically restrained at 90 km/h which are enough to borrow the highways found in the peripheries of agglomerations. By displaying a 0 to 100 km/h in 17.4 seconds we obviously do not expect a sports van. This is not the purpose of this vul. It is not nervous at acceleration even if you roll empty and peaks at 95 km/h on the clock, but the objective is to preserve the autonomy announced at 138 km with this bridle of speed. Once the battery is empty, it will take 45 minutes to recharge in DC 50 kW or 5:50 AC 7.2 kW. So let’s follow traffic for our little try.

There is no break mode that is sometimes found to regenerate even more braking. Anyway, a small foot test shows that we slow down a lot like that. Driving is natural as with a modern automatic transmission. You just have to get used to a flexibility driving. With this electric motor which does not make noise, we obviously hear the other noises (bearing, aero, bodywork) more. The comfort pack that is available improves soundproofing.

It is readable and clear, quite fun at the start but it is true that we do not pay too much attention to it over the kilometers, proof that we naturally lead with this electric utility.

Volkswagen Test Assessment Transport 6.1 ABT E

What is very appreciable with our VW Transporter Abt E is to keep the volume and the useful dimensions of the T6.1 and even gain almost 100 kg of payload in comparison with the TDI 100cv diesel. Of course there are limits by switching to electric. Autonomy we suspect and the charging time but we also have less choice since only the L2 length is available and the first level of finish. The price of the Volkswagen Electric transport ABT to € 4,5590 is also higher than that of the TDI 110 L2 Meca box at € 31,860. For the automatic transmission, you have to go to the 150 horsepower. So by staying in the 110 horsepower, the gap is 13,730 euros. If your driving is soft, you will not be surprised by what the T6 offers.1 ABT. This engine is perfect in town, the automatic transmission means that we take care of nothing and the dimensions make that we do not care about this to choose between electric and diesel. At a time when city center is closed to thermal of all hairs, keeping all the features of its van will be a less constraint.

We like

• Preserved useful dimensions
• Equipment comparable to diesel
• Trailer up to 1500 kg

We love less

• Little dynamic engine at start -up
• No fashion to recover energy
• Only one length available
