Volkswagen is gearing up to launch the next generation of its iconic Transporter van, which will be available in fully electric and hybrid versions for the first time.

The maximum payload of the van increased to 1.33 tons, and the trailer weight increased to 2.8 tons.
The Volkswagen Transporter model range will include seven powertrain options: three electric, one hybrid and three diesel. Electric versions of the e-Transporter will be available with engines from 136 to 286 hp. and a 64 kWh battery, although the range has not yet been announced. The hybrid version of the eHybrid will offer 323 hp, while the diesel engines will vary from 110 to 170 hp, with different transmissions, including an eight-speed automatic box for the most powerful models.
The interior of the updated Transporter will feature modern technologies, including a 12-inch digital instrument panel and a 13-inch central touchscreen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless connectivity will be offered as standard, as well as multiple USB, 12V and the option to add 230V outlets.
