New Volkswagen Transporter and Caravelle revealed *Successor to T6.1 launched at IAA Transportation 2024
At the IAA Transportation held at Messe Hannover, Germany, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles revealed the eagerly anticipated next generation Transporter Van range. This all new model is the result of a collaboration project with Ford, with every technical
detail and function improved on the new Transporter, compared with the predecessor, the T6.1. Transporter T7 offers more space, more payload, more towing capacity, more efficiency and even more safety aspects. While Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has preserved the Transporter’s distinctive design, the brand has also
transformed it, ready for a new era. The seventh generation of the product line will be available as a panel van as well as a passenger-focused Caravelle. The latest turbodiesel, plug-in hybrid and electric Transporter T7 E systems power the vehicles. All-wheel drive is available as an option. In fact, there has never been such a wide array of vans on offer. While the new Transporter is offered as a panel van with high roof and extended wheelbase versions available, the more exclusive Caravelle, with its nine seats, has been developed with commercial passenger transport in mind.
