Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has unveiled the sixth-generation of its Transporter model.

The current model sold some two million units around the world during its 11 years in production.

Since the launch of Transporter in 1950, around 12 million vehicles have been produced. Although the Transporter went on sale in Germany and the rest of Europe 65 years ago, right-hand drive versions were only available to special order until 1954 when they became standard production line models.  Since then, more than 300,000 Transporters have been sold in the UK.

A completely new generation of TDI engines are being launched for the EU6 markets.

The sixth-generation Transporter will arrive in the UK later this year. Specification and pricing will be confirmed in the near future.
