The history of Volkswagen commercial vehicles dates back to 1950, when the legendary Transporter T1, known as the "Bulli", rolled off the production line. Since then, more than seven generations have been produced, making the Transporter one of the best-selling commercial vehicles in history. The larger Crafter, in production since 2006, completes the range where more space for crew and equipment is needed.
Among fire brigades, Volkswagen has earned a reputation as a reliable, well-built vehicle that serves without trouble for many years. A major advantage is the availability of 4Motion all-wheel drive on both the Transporter and the Crafter – on rough terrain, snow or a muddy field track, it makes a noticeable difference. The economical and durable TDI engines keep running costs low, and the vehicle also holds its value exceptionally well.
