Now out of the six compact series, only two semi-integrated Nexo vans and travel vans remain unchanged. Based on the Ford Transit Custom introduced last year, the Urban Tourist Copa will be expanded by two variants.

The electromagnetic clutch engages and distributes the drive forces in a 50:50 ratio of the front and rear axles depending on position. Alternatively, all-wheel drive can be turned on permanently via a push button switch in the cockpit.

With the new Eliseo C644, Bürstner is also striving to live up to its reputation as a maker of interior innovations in compact models. The fifth floor plan of the Fiat Ducato series aims to expand the portfolio with a division with a high level of living comfort, by realizing an all-round seating group at the rear with a compact length of 6.36 metres. In addition, the bathroom with toilet and the partition for the shower were moved directly behind the driver’s seat. There is a kitchen block in front.
For sleeping configuration, a fold-down bed is lowered to a level with the rear extension above the seating group, with storage accessible from behind—there’s room for a bicycle, too. This creates a generous lying surface at approximately chest height. In a one-of-a-kind bunk bed, the downstairs seating area can also be converted into a double bed. However, those spending the night there need not be claustrophobic.
