VW CONSTELLATION 32.360 V-TRONIC TO MEET CIVIL CONSTRUCTION AND MINING SEGMENTS
Constellation 24.260 Builder Basculante also expands vocational family, both will be available for sales from the beginning of 2018The great news of the track segment has a name and aptitude to spare for the work: it is the Constellation 32,360 that arrives with automated V-Tronic transmission and rear axle with reduction in the hub. Ideal for extreme operations in the earthmoving, mining and forestry segments, among others, it is equipped with a Cummins ISL 360 engine, with a power of 360 hp and a torque of 1,600 Nm. The automated transmission is a 16-speed ZF.

Drum brakes rely on the safety of ABS systems (which prevents the wheel locking when the brake pedal is strongly depressed and skidding), EBD works in conjunction with the ABS system and has the function of distributing the braking force between the wheels of the vehicle, and ATC (prevents wheels from skidding), as well as EasyStart to assist in uphill terrain and Maneuver Mode, which assists in traffic in narrow, confined spaces. The repositioning of the brake drum to the top of the axle is something that is worth highlighting as it extends the durability, prevents damage and increases the free area in the lower area of ​​the truck. The rear axles are equipped with transverse and longitudinal locking to overcome the most difficult terrain.
