Whether for a city tour, weekend at the lake or active holiday in the mountains: A camper van is the ideal companion. These all-rounders are mainly in demand in the Ducato class. But the trend is also towards smaller, more compact box vans and high-roof vans that replace the family car in everyday life. The AL-KO brand, SAWIKO, is now entering into this type of vehicle for the first time and is presenting a rear bicycle carrier for the Ford Westfalia Nugget and Ford Tourneo Custom at the CMT holiday exhibition in Stuttgart.

Rear carrier systems have always played a central role at SAWIKO – and all solutions integrate a large number of convenient and practical functions. This also applies to the new rear bicycle rack for the Ford Westfalia Nugget and Ford Tourneo Custom, which is designed for transporting 2 bicycles with a payload of 60 kilograms in the basic version. The swivel arm is particularly practical, allowing the carrier to be easily moved sideways, even when loaded. This ensures free access to the rear door at all times. When not loaded, the 13 kilogram lightweight transport bridge can be folded upwards to save space. If the carrier is not needed, it can be completely dismantled quickly and without tools.

The rear carrier can be configured with a variety of conversion kits to meet individual requirements. This makes it possible to equip the carrier for transporting 3 bicycles or to mount a transport box. In addition, a rigid or detachable towing hitch can easily be retrofitted to the base crossmember. An optional electric kit is also available.

The rear carrier will be available from May 2018 at Ford dealerships, or directly from AL-KO Vehicle Technology/SAWIKO. The price for the basic version is 1,399 Euro.

Details of this from 13th to 21st January, 2018 at the CMT Holiday Exhibition tradefair for tourism and leisure in Stuttgart (Hall 9 / Booth E9).
