It's here (Almost)

You have been hearing about 906 for quite some time now. Well, it is just about to be released after a few more pieces of equipment are installed next week. She's pretty and brand spanking new, with 000,118 Km. on the clock. Left click anywhere on the photo for a close up picture.

There is one quirk to be aware of, as is common with several new vehicles on the market and must be noted. Whenever you start the engine on this vehicle; the dash cluster (gauges) illuminate immediately at full brightness. This leads many people to believe that all the external lights are on, when in fact only the front headlamps are illuminated (at partial strength). This is called "Daytime Running Lamps".

Whenever using 906 at dusk or later, be sure to turn on the headlamp switch to illuminate the entire perimeter of the vehicle. If you do not turn them on, three of four sides of the vehicle will have no external lighting, as well as the center control panel for the radio and climate control

Enjoy your shifts in vCOPs very first brand new van.

BTW, 901 is currently in the shop having a major overhaul and will also be in service early next week, bringing us to a Gran (Caravan) total of FOUR vans at our disposal.
