Knaus to build on VW following new agreement
Knaus Tabbert, a German leisure vehicle manufacturer, and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles have signed a contract for the supply of the VW Crafter and VW T6.1 chassis for motorhomes
From the second half of 2022, Volkswagen will act as a further partner for the supply of chassis and vans for the Knaus and Weinsberg brands. Thanks to the agreement, Knaus will further diversify its portfolio of motorised chassis and enter new, high-growth market segments.
Wolfgang Speck, CEO of Knaus Tabbert AG, says,
The agreement with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is another significant step towards optimising our supplier base and production processes. It also enables us to offer our customers an even greater variety of models. The additional chassis and vans will help to shorten delivery times, which have been considerably stretched due to material shortages, and further reduce our dependence on individual suppliers. This means we are also optimally positioned for growth in the future.
The agreement with VW follows Knaus Tabbert’s similar agreements with Mercedes and Ford for the supply of motorised chassis. Due to material shortages in the production of chassis, delivery times have been considerably extended in the last two years.
The significant expansion of the number of suppliers for chassis and vans counteracts this and should contribute to a reduction in delivery times for dealers and customers in the medium-term.
