Looking for a New Futuristic Work Van for Mobile Auto Detailing?

January 2nd, 2012 by admin No comments »

Mobile auto detailers sell image. Therefore, they must also project a pristine image in their business. Perhaps, this is why on-site car detailers work very hard to have the best equipment, and a classy rig, or trailer. For those that operate in the city, it is often better to have a van to work out of. Working out of a truck is not always safe because people will come and steal stuff out of the back of the bed. In many places a trailer won’t work because there is no room to park it, as parking space is at a premium.

Okay so, how do you choose the best work van? How do you find a work van which is classy, showy, and yet, completely functional? Well it appears that at least one company may have the answer, it is probably a company you never thought of in considering a work van.

There was an interesting clip, gallery presentation, and article recently on MSN having to do with VW’s newest rage; a delivery van. The article appeared on December 9, 2011 just in time for a small business person’s Christmas and was titled; “Volkswagen’s Delivery Vehicle of the Future – Automaker partners with the German postal service to develop autonomous, electric-powered vans,” written by Ian Rowan. The article stated;

“The eT! concept is powered by two 96-kilowatt lightweight electric motors mounted on the rear wheel hubs, each powered by 33 modules of lithium-ion batteries with an energy capacity of 32 kilowatt hours stored in the underbody. With a top speed of 69 mph and a projected range of 62 miles, its capabilities would be more than adequate for a postal-delivery vehicle, Volkswagen says.”

Vans – Not Just for Soccer Moms!

January 2nd, 2012 by admin No comments »

Vans used to be a major fashion faux pas when it came to driving in style. People used to associate vans with soccer moms, car pools and screaming kids. But that mentality is a thing of the past. People of all ages and lifestyles and now beginning to see the value and affordability of purchasing a van. Teenagers can go on road trips with friends, a few office members can drive together to a conference, couples can split travel costs when going to a retreat, and of course the soccer mom can still depend on her trusted minivan. You can also spruce up your van with accessories, and ensure the paint stays nice and fresh with a car cover.

In today’s troubled economy, everyone is looking for cheaper ways to do everything, including travel. If you have a business conference with several other employees, you can drive instead of fly there. Splitting gas, food and hotel costs can really save everyone on the trip a lot of money that you would normally have to pay for yourself. If one of the colleagues owns a van, you can fit up to 14 or even 16 people into one van, depending on the size. But you don’t have to squeeze so many people into one van just to be cost effective. Just having 6 or 8 people sharing the trip can greatly reduce the cost. If none of the colleagues owns a van, then everyone can chip into renting a minivan, which would still be much cheaper than everyone flying solo.
