Plus the row he said could add 3 at the top could definitely have been 4 or even 5. Not that even a dozen makes a difference when it's already 3 times the capacity of the nearest tested vehicle.

Tommi probably doesn't have 'ø' on his keybard.. :-)

Achenar Myst long press on most letters gives you the options like õøōœòôöó for o ;)

Unicode is so useful, but so many *codes* to remember.

i don't think he can drive a semi...you'll need a driver licence

@@hollymolly518 It was a joke.

Of course he can drive a semi. He just needs to take a driving instructor with him ;-)

@@tubertue1 Or drive and not get caught.

noo.... we want banana box test of semi too. TB will need to drive all over Norway to get enough banana boxes.

An awful lot of Volkswagens *are* Falsewagens. False emissions testing results!

Björn first needs to get the commercial vehicle license to actually be able to drive a semi truck.

@@MayContainJoe Well yes, there is that little detail. I wonder if Pawel has one? 😋

Bjorn should start eating 120 Bananas a day, to have enough banana boxes, when semi is out

Yeah, my thought too was the Crafter can only win vs E-NV if E-NV has to drive 2 trips. But that exact E-NV can legally tow a 410kg trailer while the Crafter can not pull trailer, so the E-NV might get away with 1 trip anyway. But with a trailer, consumption could increase enough so they may be really close..

No, 56 boxes of bananas would be 1T and the limit of this van. Would need two trips for the weight, if not the volume.

@@MrGonzonator He said "banana boxes", *not* "boxes of bananas".

@@MrGonzonator but limit for E-NV200 is around 500kg, so still the E-NV has to make more trips then..

This test was seats up. If you option it with half bulkhead (behind driver only) and no passenger seats you can use the space where they were too.

He will save them for Semi!

I would have built a wall an driven through it with Optimus

Yeah he must save them and continue the collection for future big ev competitors

Yes, borrow a ton of building material on a few palletes and try it. Unfortunately Bjorn is not realy into commercial vehicles and his viewer neither.

Banana Box Bjørn also known as Triple-B

VW Crafter used to be the Sprinter model re-badged under the VW name, it has since been broken off into its own, same with the dodge vans which newer models are no longer Sprinter based.

Van style wagon, this is its modern cousin and engine powered aka motorized. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van#/media/File:Roger_Fenton%27s_waggon.jpg

I will take that bet and match it to a box van of the US which could hold more than this, in volume if not weight

Haven't we made him suffer enough? :)

No :)

@@ahaveland No :D

Bullshit. The problem was that there were big piles of boxes outside so I had to be careful.

I am German ...

Larger battery would mean less payload.

@@bjornnyland Thank you I compleately forgot about the additional weight of more Battery capacaty you are an eyeopener again thank yout

55. Max payload: 1000kg. Some 18kg / banana box

that is funny way of spelling the fruits name

Highly unlikely. It would be very illegal but Crafters can carry loads more than their weight limit. If you ignore the law the first physical limit is usually the tyres.

@@siraff4461 56 boxes of bananas would weigh in at 1000kg and the limit of this van. 150 would be near 3T... That will smash the axle and the wheels.

@@MrGonzonator A weeks wages says it wouldn't. One of my business interests is a weighbridge where we scrap metal. We've seen enough overloaded vans/pickups over the years to know how it goes. Throw 3t in the back of that and all that will happen is the tyres will look like squashed bananas, the suspension will be on the bumpstops and you will be a massive target for anyone in the law. Imagine it as three bulk bags of sand in there. The 3.5T versions of most vans are overbuilt in a big way because a lot of the time the parts are based off the 5+T variants - usually with softer springs and single wheels on the back but little else to seperate them. Once they're on the bump stops the tyres will almost always be the first things to break.

@@siraff4461 go for it. Make a video of your 3.5t van with 3t loaded riding a pot hole at 50mph. If you survive, post it...

TDI version is available with 5t gross weight, it's the same chassis. Still not enough for 150 banana boxes, max payload is a little less than 2.5t but it can pull a 8t trailer (C1E licence required).

It's usually a way to get free moving boxes, just go down to the nearest store and they almost always have banana boxes you can get for free.

It is sometimes difficult to describe the Germanic pronunciation with substituted letters. I would say Bjo/rn got it fairly right. Actually in Germany everybody just says VW but not as VeeDabbelyu but FauWe. ...I am German btw.
