Bright Future for Commercial Vehicles in Brisbane

Interesting news in the commercial vehicle market just recently, with the announcement that Ford and Volkswagen are joining forces. The two major marques will work together on designing and manufacturing commercial vehicles, with the results set to hit the market in 2022.

Ford is to produce a medium-sized pick-up for both companies, plus a larger commercial van for European customers.  It is also believed that Ford will develop the next VW Amarok and the Ford Ranger, plus a possible new VW Transit van. A smaller Ford-badged commercial vehicle could also be on the cards. There is also talk of Ford and VW collaborating on other vehicles, including electric and autonomous.

What does this mean for customers seeking commercial vehicle services? As far as I can see, the news is all good, as the partnership is likely to lead to advanced engineering and more choice. As far as servicing and repairs go, these vehicles will best be cared for by European vehicle specialists.

Currently, commercial vehicles in Brisbane and on the Sunshine Coast have easy access to European vehicle specialists, in the form of SVS Autocare. Choosing a specialist service centre makes good financial sense, as it is generally cheaper than returning to the dealership.

In addition, the mechanics are specifically trained on European vehicles and have access to the latest diagnostic tools.  These means they can find and fix any problems quicker, getting your commercial vehicle back on the road where it needs to be.

Commercial vehicles in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast should be serviced regularly to ensure they meet all legal requirements; the penalties for breeching these laws are serious and could see your vehicle taken off the road. It goes without saying that would be a disaster for any business relying on its commercial vehicles.

Regularly servicing also ensures the best performance and fuel economy and helps avoid breakdowns.
