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.
