The covers are off: meet the all-new Transporter

​The all-new Transporter was unveiled on 15 September at the World Premiere, ahead of the IAA Transportation Expo in Hanover, Germany. The seventh generation will offer more space, more payload, increased maximum trailer weight, and a professional cockpit landscape positioning itself as the right vehicle for every customer.

The new generation combines robustness with sleek styling and a friendly, instantly recognisable face, with the familiar Bulli line seamlessly tying together the various design elements.

Meanwhile, the interior has been developed to serve as a modern, comfortable workspace with enhanced safety features, with physical controls on the digital display and steering wheel for ease of use.
