| - In 2005, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles announced their intent to build a Robust Pick-Up and off road family of vehicles. In 2007, popular automotive website WorldCarFans.com publishes first photos captured by RoAnSa Carspy Photography of the development mule of the Robust Pick Up concept vehicle wearing Toyota Hilux body upon a Volkswagen developed chassis. In March 2008, famed automotive spy photographer Hans Lehmann captures the first image of the Robust Pick up wearing a production body which is designed by Walter de'Silva. In September 2008, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles releases the Robust Pick Up concept in the disguise as a Search and Rescue (SAR) vehicle, which previews the full design, and is said to be 95% close to the production version. The Amarok, the first pickup from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, was presented to the general public in General Pacheco, Argentina on the 7th of December 2009 with the President of Argentina Cristina Kirchner attending. Following the Launch in Argentina, the Amarok was a key support vehicle in the 2010 Dakar Rally with 45 vehicles participating. German rocker, founder of the Scorpions, guitarist Rudolf Schenker, is a supporter of the Amarok and himself drove one during the 2010 Dakar Rally. In November 2010 the Amarok was awarded 4 stars from Euro NCAP under the 2010/2011 standard crash testing procedure. In February 2011 the Amarok received a 5 stars award from the ANCAP - The Australasian New Car Assessment Program.
