PEUGEOT BIPPER - COMPACT AND REFINED DRIVING The brand-new Peugeot Bipper is new on the commercial vehicle market and very well-suited to city environments. Spacious addition This renewed model with its length of 3.86 m and cargo space of 2.5 m³ is a compact and yet spacious addition to Peugeot’s commercial vehicle segment. This segment is currently enjoying a comprehensive upgrade, which started with the introduction of the Boxer in June 2006. Practical and manoeuvrable The Bipper is mainly intended for professional drivers who are looking for a practical and manoeuvrable vehicle that is easy to park. Thanks to the asymmetric hinged rear doors and sliding side doors, Bipper drivers can easily load and unload their cargo, even in the tightest of spaces. Mobile office Thanks to an innovative folding multifunctional passenger seat, the car can be easily turned into a mobile office or the load capacity can be increased by using the space normally occupied by the seat. This allows the Bipper to be adapted to the most diverse and demanding circumstances. Low emissions The engines, a 1.4 l petrol engine and a 1.4 l HDi diesel engine are commended for their sustainable and environmentally-friendly character due to their low emissions. The HDi diesel engine is also available with an optional electronically controlled manual gearbox, which was previously unheard of in these types of vehicles. Exceptional comfort This so-called 2-Tronic gear box provides exceptional comfort for drivers who often work in urban area. For professionals who spend many hours in their van, this gearbox offers huge benefits in terms of reduced fatigue. Lower fuel consumption and emissions are another major advantage of the electronically controlled manual gearbox. Due to its excellent driving performance, modern design, robust, comfortable and multifunctional character and low user costs, the Bipper is ready to conquer the city. Standnumber 07.007 PROGRESS EUROPE Progress Europe presents the very first sidebar which actually does what it was designed to do….Although most sidebars are mounted to decorate vehicles, the actual function is preventing damage to the vehicle. Rigid mounting Usually it is not the sidebar itself which is ineffective – it is the rigid mounting that can cause a damaged or distorted chassis after collisions. This is the reason why some manufacturers do not offer sidebars in their official company catalogue. Progress Europe BV, a manufacturer of high-quality accessories and parts for various leading vehicle brands, took on the challenge to develop a new and improved sidebar of both a shock-absorbing tube profile as well as an energy-absorbing mounting material. By using CAD/CAE/CAM technology, the energy-absorption is calculated per vehicle. Each vehicle type has customised mounting brackets, preventing damage to both chassis and body in case of collisions. These innovative sidebars, for which a patent has been applied, will have their global introduction at TERTS 2007. Standnumber 03.009 BINOTTO – NEW FAST VALVE SOLUTION The truck market has increased very fast in these recent years. All over the world, customers need more and more new equipped vehicles everyday and they want them for the day after. Be faster This means that to be faster than competitors is one of the key factors for a successful company who wants to catch all the opportunities of the growing market. In this scenario, Binotto confirms to be beside its customer once again, offering a new valve solution which allows to reduce the mounting operation time and to simplify the operation itself. Less components In reality, Binotto has studied a useful, innovative solution which not only needs less components to be mounted on the tank, but also gives other advantages which enrich the total offer. In fact, from a technical point of view, the solution consists in: - A different model of tipping valve, easy to mount on the rear cabin oil tank. The structure and the functions of the valve are the same, but it offers a new and versatile ports configuration, allowing a more efficient piping connection; - A special fittings application for connecting the valve to the oil tank, which reduces the risk of oil leaking. The valve is directly mounted on the tank, without any plate or adapter. Special fittings reduce the risk of oil leaking.

PRIMEUR: ANTARA VAN The Antara Van is the commercial version of Opel´s new SUV and will be launched at TERTS 2007. With a load capacity of 780 kg and a cargo area of 1.20 metres, the Antara is the ideal vehicle for small, ambitious companies. The Antara is initially only available with a 2-litre Common Rail turbo diesel engine of 159 hp. An added bonus is the built-in particle filter. The four-wheel driven SUV feels like a front-wheel drive vehicle on the road, but the moment it leaves the beaten track, for instance when providing field service, the 4WD has everything you need.
