2024 Ford Transit Custom Nugget

The next generation Transit Custom Nugget will be launched in phases, starting with the Nugget Titanium series with tilt roof and 170 PS EcoBlue engine with eightspeed automatic transmission, available to order from Ford dealers in August 2023 for delivery in spring 2024. Other models, including the PHEV option, will be introduced in the following 12 months.



In a first for the Nugget, Ford is introducing a PHEV powertrain, sharing technology with the Ford Kuga PlugIn Hybrid 3,4 – Europe’s topselling PHEV in 2021 and 2022. 5 The allnew Nugget uses a 2.5litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine with an 11.8 kWh (usable) battery and electric motor to deliver a combined output of 232 PS and pureelectric driving capability.

An allnew chassis with independent rear suspension improves refinement and handling, while allwheel drive models will be available to suit customers who use their camper vans to access wild areas for outdoor sports or who simply want more confidence leaving festival car parks.
The stylish cockpit features a full digital cluster and large 13inch touchscreen; finding a destination, staying entertained and keeping in touch is simple with Ford’s latest SYNC 4 software. 6 The system’s connected navigation, audio and communication features can be controlled via the touchscreen or natural voice control, and wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay phone integration are standard


2024 Volkswagen California

all New California vehicles are based on the innovative modular transverse matrix (MQB) platform and thus on the current longwheelbase version of the Multivan. The camper van is 5,173 mm long (predecessor: 4,904 mm); the width without exterior mirrors is 1,941 mm (predecessor: 1,904 mm). At 1,990 mm including the lowered popup roof, the height is identical to that of the predecessor, which means it is again suitable for multistorey car parks. A long wheelbase of 3,124 mm spans between the axles; this ensures there is even more space on board than in the predecessor. When the roof is closed, the interior height is 1,297 mm; when the popup roof is open, this increases to 2,108 mm.


The New California is powered by three different systems, which can be combined with all equipment packages and are all coupled to an automatic direct shift gearbox. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles uses a fourcylinder unit with an output of 110 kW (150 PS) as an efficient turbo diesel direct injection engine (TDI). The New California’s equally hightorque turbocharged petrol direct injection engine (TSI) produces 150 kW (204 PS). Both the TDI and TSI drive the front axle. A new feature for the California is the new plugin hybrid drive (eHybrid) with a system output of 180 kW (245 PS). The New California is the first MQB model from the Volkswagen Group to combine a plugin hybrid drive with the 4MOTION allwheel drive system. The plugin hybrid drive allows the New California to be temporarily transformed into an electric vehicle for everyday use. The high combined efficiency of an electric motor and a hightech TSI (1.5 TSI evo2) also enables very long overall ranges and a maximum trailer weight of up to 2,000 kg. This makes the New California eHybrid 4MOTION the ideal companion for all globetrotters, winter campers and campers with boats or bikes on a trailer.
