Security and Convenience

• Inboard suspension enables lower profile design

6-Speed Automatic with Paddle Shifters and Shift Gauge

• Paddle shifters enable semi-manual shifting of the transmission. Driver is able to tap left to downshift or tap right to upshift to accommodate more precise control of performance.
• Shift gauge identifies gear shifts as driver utilizes the paddle shifters.
• 6.11:1 gear ratio spread, which contributes to a balance of performance and fuel economy.
• Clutch-to-clutch concept delivers optimal shift timing.
• Adaptive shift controls include automatic grade braking, which commands the transmission to remain in a lower gear if the vehicle is decelerating or coasting on a downgrade.

Battery Protection

All Vanderhalls come equipped with thermal circuit breakers that are designed for the protection and isolation of high current circuits up to 200A. They are fully waterproof to IP67. The manual trip can be used to switch off and isolate the circuit, when use of battery trickle charger is not feasible, to isolate the battery for storage periods of time longer than 14 consecutive days.

A battery trickle charger lead is also included to protect the life of the battery during similar periods of extended storage.
