HERTZ, the world’s leading rental companyhas chosen Chausson... Solid proof of our reliability!

For the French market only.

TWIST THE CIVILIZED ADVENTURERS

CHAUSSON ADVANTAGESA mindset

A well-known and highly

attractive French brand,

Chausson also benefits from a network

of dealers in over 15 European countries.

Like their big brothers - the low profiles,

overcabs and A-class vehicles -

the vans in the 2018 collection

are designed with the same bold

and innovative approach.

This year, boldness is highlighted

in a new range of colors.

Innovations include a new

and even more effective Flexbox system

and a large 140-liter refrigerator

that offers greater functionality

and more storage space.

TWIST comes in three lengths,

seven models and two finishes.

VPS insulation

Fiat is still THE reference brand on the motorhome market and the reliability of the Ducato is well established. The Fiat equipment chosen by Chausson has everything you need to broaden your horizons with optimal comfort and full safety.

1 �Driver’s airbag, � braking assistance (ABS): an anti-lock system

that keeps wheels from blocking when brakes are applied intensively,

� anti-slipping (ASR): a system that regulates acceleration to keep the driving wheels from losing traction,

� six-speed gearbox.2 �Very comfortable “Captain’s chair” seats: these

new Fiat seats have a built-in headrest, a wider back, better lateral support, two armrests and a seated position that’s more comfortable than ever. They pivot 180°. After pivoting, the seats can be slid forward to get them close to the eating area. They are height- and angle-adjustable as a standard feature.

3 �Cab radio pre-equipment, with four loudspeakers, � electrically controlled windows, � central bottle-carrier console with

a cell phone compartment.4 �Central locking of cab doors.5 �Hubcaps on wheels, tyre repair kit.
