1950 In March 1950, series production of the
first VW Transporter starts at a rate of
10 vehicles per day. For engine and axles,
standard parts from the VW Beetle are
used. The vehicle is characterised by a
self-supporting body on a ladder frame
chassis and it is driven by a rear engine
with rear wheel drive.
1967 The T2 continues the success of the Trans-
porter series further. Single piece winds-
creen and larger windows offer more
light and greater driving safety. Dimensi-
ons and load capacity increase. For the
first time, a side sliding door in installed.
1979 With a new body design, the T3 (T25)
offers more space, improved all-round
view and greater active and passive
safety. Load volume and payload capa-
city increase. A new front axle provides
improved road handling and safety.
1990 With the T4, a completely new vehicle
concept with front wheel drive and front
transverse mounted water-cooled engine
is introduced.
2003 The new Transporter is launched on the
market. The great variety ranges from
drop-side and panel van variants up to
the Multivan. It is again a trendsetter in its
class.
