Volkswagen debuts new Transporter van

The new Volkswagen Transporter debuts in Munich with an unparalleled variety of vehicle body variants - as a panel van, a Kombi and as a single or double cab pickup. With such variety, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is offering the perfect vehicle for every purpose and a solution for every individual transport challenge in this sector.

The technical changes made go way beyond any normal model update. An example of this is seen in the switch from hydraulic to electro-mechanical power steering - a system replacement so complex that it normally happens within a product line only when moving completely to the next generation.

The updated Transporter now features new spectrum of driver assistance systems and thus a significant increase in safety and ease of use are introduced to the product line. The new assistance systems include Lane Assist, Park Assist, Rear Traffic Alert and Trailer Assist.
