Self-study Programme 355

The EOS 2006

The self-study programme shows the design and

function of new developments.

The contents will not be updated.

For current testing, adjustment and repair

instructions,

refer to the relevant service literature.

The Volkswagen Eos combines the characteristic flair

of a cabriolet with the emotional design of a coupé.

It is thus aimed at two different groups of buyers and

builds on the tradition of cabriolet production at

Volkswagen.

This very successful tradition started in 1949 with the

first Beetle Cabriolet and continued in 1979 with the

Golf Cabriolet and in 2003 with the New Beetle

Cabriolet.

Unlike its predecessors, the Eos is not derived from

another model, it is an independent development that

unites the characteristics of different vehicle types and

heads in a totally new direction in terms of roof

technology.

Together with the values of quality, comfort, safety

and engines, the Eos has a rounded, promising

vehicle concept that sets new standards among its

rivals.

Make sure you read self-study programme SSP 379 “EOS 2006 – Electrical System”.

You will need to read both programmes to gain an insight into the complex roof system and its operation.

In Brief

The Eos is named after the Greek goddess of the dawn, who was the daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia.

According to legend, the Titans, the oldest race of Greek deities, are the children of the first gods Gaia and Uranus,

who originate from chaos.

Eos is the sister of the sun god Helios and the moon goddess Selene.

Eos rises out of the Oceanus every morning and travels ahead of Helios in his chariot as he rides across the sky to

herald the new day.

Homer praises her beauty and her grace and describes her as a wonderful, beautiful and curly-haired goddess.

The Eos from Volkswagen combines the everyday and all-year round suitability of a coupé with the classic open-

top driving characteristics of cabriolets without their disadvantages like, for example, high noise level.

The Eos is built at the Auto Europa plant in Palmela, Portugal.

The Volkswagen Eos Cabriolet-Coupé

Eos — The Coupé

S355_017

-Fourfull-sizedseats

- High-level of interior comfort thanks to 12-way electrically adjusted seat with electrical easy-entry function

- Rear seat system with through-load option

- Generous boot volume when roof closed

- Extensive safety concept

with driver, front passenger and head airbags and active rollover protection system

- High torsional stiffness

- Low level of wind noise

- High-end sound system from Dynaudio

- ParkPilot with boot lid assist and

- a wide range of engines.

Body

A body with a high static and dynamic rigidity is the

requirement for good vibration behaviour and

excellent driving properties.

This is achieved by using high, higher and highest-

strength sheet qualities as well as THERMOFORMED

SHEETS in conjunction with modern joining methods

like laser welding and structural adhesive joints. The

use of thermoformed sheets, in particular, has

increased the stability of the body without making it

heavier.

The following components are made from highest-

strength sheets:

- Inner A-pillar

-Seatconsoles

- Sills

- Rear longitudinal members

Highest-strength tubes are fitted in the upper area of

the doors and under the rear seat bench.

Thermoformed sheets are used:

- in the front bumper cross-members

- in the A-pillar reinforcements and in the

front windscreen frame

- in the door reinforcements

Special body-in-white measures

To also guarantee the excellent vibration behaviour of

the cabriolet-coupé when the roof is open, extensive

reinforcements were made to the body-in-white in

addition to the use of the described sheet qualities.

In addition to the higher sills, the cross members on

the upper edges of the doors and the reinforcement

of the rear panel, they are mainly in the introduction

of a supporting front underbody capsule made from

aluminium and diagonal struts mounted in the rear

area.

The underbody capsule and diagonal struts are

bolted. The underbody capsule connects the front

subframe to the longitudinal members.

Together with the diagonal struts, this creates an

additional reinforcing level and thus increases the

torsional rigidity of the whole body.

Pedestrian protection

cross member

Front-end frame

In the body development, greater focus has been

placed on pedestrian protection in addition to

occupant protection. The aim is to reduce the risk of

injury to pedestrians and cyclists by means of

constructive measures.

The Eos has a complete concept for the front end

that comprises the following measures:

- Sufficient spacing from hard engine compartment

parts under the bonnet

- Optimisation of hinges and interior sheets on the

bonnet

- Lower risk of leg injuries

Reduction of leg injuries

The Eos has an additional cross member for

pedestrian protection that has a deformation element

made from foam.

The deformation element absorbs a large proportion

of the energy in a collision so that the risk of severe

leg injuries is reduced.

In terms of car crash safety, we distinguish between

three different load levels that have to absorb the

forces in an accident.

The upper load level is formed by the roof, the middle

load level is the side structure of the vehicle and the

lower load level is the vehicle floor structure. On

cabriolets, the forces caused by a collision mainly

need to be absorbed by the centre and lower load

level because the roof construction is, to a great

extent, not part of the vehicle statics.
