Syntac is the first partially integrated car in the world (as of 2017).

It is the synthesis between nature and city journeys. It creates a fluent connectivity with daily use and experience trips. A gap in the caravaning industry can be closed and a rising target group will be approached. The VW Caddy Maxi Trendline 2015 served as the base of the Syntac. The back part of the Syntac is bigger and wider than usual vans with many more possibilities to customise it.

The lateral faces and the roof are tapered to the rear to achieve a streamlined form. The heart of the exterior is the rear system with rear lights and a special stoplight system. In normal drive the left and right rear lights are turned on, if the driver brakes, a red light band connects the left and right lights. Additional there is a third stoplight in the spoiler. The arrangement of these lights forms what looks like a warning triangle for a better and faster perception.
