With a striking stand in the motoring section (located at Block 3, Row 8, Stand 194), Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles will have the full range of Commercial Vehicles on display including the California camper van which is celebrating it’s 30-year anniversary. The stand will also exhibit the Crafter, the Amarok V6 Aventura, the Caddy panel van and Caddy Maxi panel van, the Transporter LWB, Shuttle 9-seater and the Caddy Life 7-seater.

Today FM’s Phil Cawley will be live on the stand each day from 11.30am with plenty of competitions and giveaways for visitors to the stand with genuine merchandise giveaways between 12pm – 2pm daily. This year, a graffiti artist will also entertain visitors over the course of the three days, transforming a Transporter with an incredible artistic display of van art.
