20.8.2019 Rüsselsheim. The Opel Combo Cargo is the right vehicle for traders who are looking for a compact van for all tasks. The Combo Cargo is what is voted by journalists from 25 European countries at the “International Van of the Year 2019”.
He not only provides best charging opportunities, exemplary, economic fuel – consumption and CO2 values, but also a state-of-the-art all-wheel drive – best traction properties including. Thanks to a perfectly coordinated all-wheel drive system and up to 110 mm increased ground clearance, the new Combo Cargo 4×4 has real off-road qualities.
The all-wheel drive for the Combo Cargo comes from the Alsace specialists Dangel, equip the van to the charge of a net of 6,400 Euro, with the 4×4 System (excl. 1,000 euros for the 4×4 day preparation by Opel; UPE excl. VAT). The all-wheel experts were in the development of the new Combo Generation in the boat. So, for example, steering and suspension were also designed for the 4×4 Version, and are already mounted in the factory. The all-wheel drive is tailor-made for the Combo Cargo and have a lot of off-road fun.
For every need: the choice between “Eco”front wheel drive “Auto 4WD”mode
Combo Cargo-the driver can choose via a rotary switch on the instrument carrier between two driving modes: “ECO 2WD” and “AUTO 4WD”. In the “ECO 2WD”mode, the four-wheel drive remains switched off. The Combo Cargo goes in the front wheel drive to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, as well as to conserve the tyres.
The road conditions get rough, the driver can switch while driving in the “AUTO 4WD”mode. There is now slippage at the front wheels, the viscous coupling at the center differential, the torque to the rear axle.
On even more difficult ground is recommended as the setting for “R Lock”. As a result, the rear axle is locked. An optional limited-slip differential (“limited-slip rear differential”), in turn, provides for the best traction in even the most adverse ground conditions. It forwards if necessary, the entire torque to one rear wheel.
In addition, the Combo Cargo 4×4 is fitted with a modified ESP, underbody protection for engine and transmission, as well as about 90 mm more ground clearance. At the request of the compact four-wheel drive Van is therefore equipped with additional protection devices for the Tank and rear axle, and 20 mm higher placed available. The overall ground clearance at the front of the vehicle so that up to 205 mm. With the 4×4-drive equipped, the Combo Cargo creates gradients of 41 degrees, i. e. 87 per cent, with a slope angle of 26.6 degrees to the front, as well as of 38.3 degrees at the rear and a ramp angle of 26 degrees.
The four-wheel drive combines the passenger Car variant of Combo Life and all of the other Combo Cargo variants universal everyday use with the highest efficiency and low operating costs. So the 96 kW/130 HP strong 1.5-Liter carries Diesel (fuel consumption in accordance with NEFZ1: urban 6.0 l/100 km, extra-urban 5.1 l/100 km combined 5.4 l/100 km, 144 g CO2/km; fuel consumption in accordance with WLTP2, combined: 6.8 l/100 km, 179 g/km CO2). The power transmission is a modern six-speed manual transmission.
So Business goes: Top practice assistance systems and driver
The Combo Cargo 4×4 impresses with top values in terms of load length and payload. In him up to 880 kg heavy and up to 3.44 meters long can be used for storing objects. The cleverly-designed load area between the wheel arches is so wide enough for two Euro pallets cross-loaded.
At the same time, up to 4.75 meters long four-wheel drive provides Transporter with the same exceptional range of advanced assistance systems, such as its commercial vehicle and passenger Car brethren. The Portfolio includes systems such as automatic speed assistant, fatigue detection, front collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, blind-spot warning system and Head-Up Display.count
The commercial vehicle variants, including Combo Cargo 4×4 – can also be used with the permanent rear view camera equip. Above the doors mounted cameras overlooking the area behind the vehicle and display it on a Five-inch screen. The all-Round visibility improves related to the second camera in the passenger mirror, so that the on the side of the vehicle is often a typical Dead angle for the Combo Cargo the driver is so well resolved as.
For professional standard, networking to automotive standards-scale passenger compartment of the Combo Cargo is the latest Generation of Infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible devices, Multimedia, Radio and Multimedia Navi Pro, you can intuitively via the eight-inch color touch-screen control. The built-in Navigation of the Top-of-the-Line system with a road map for Europe and the 3D display processes TMC messages (Traffic Messaging Channel) and so depending on the situation, the optimal Route to the customer – not the least so of the economic factor.
[1] The stated fuel consumption and CO2 emission values were determined in accordance with the prescribed WLTP-measurement procedures (Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure) and in the NEDC-values recalculated to ensure comparability with other vehicles, according to regulation (EC) no 715/2007, regulation (EU) no 2017/1153 and regulation (EU) no 2017/1151. The engine meets the exhaust emission norm Euro 6d TEMP.

September 2018 in respect of a prescribed – WLTP-measurement procedures (Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure) according to regulation (EC) no 715/2007 and regulation (EU) no 2017/1151 determined. These values are in addition to the previously mentioned official fuel consumption and CO2 emissions (according to NEDC) and are not to be confused with these. Due to the more realistic conditions of the test, the WLTP measured fuel consumption and CO2 emission values are in many cases higher than the NEDC measured.
Further information on official fuel consumption and the official specific CO2 emissions and power consumption of new passenger can be taken from the cars to the “guide on the fuel economy, CO2-emissions and power consumption of new passenger cars”, of charge at all sales outlets and at DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Helmuth-Hirth-Straße 1, D-73760 Ostfildern is available for free.
