A strong partnership.

It is nearly 60 years since we invented an entirely new vehicle segment with the introduction of the Transporter. The light commercial vehicle segment. Many innovative changes made since then have helped to make your work easier whether you operate at haulage contractors, building sites or workshops. Today our complete, tailor-made range offers you the right Volkswagen commercial vehicle for each and every application and a new, reliable partner to accompany you throughout your working day. A vehicle which, like all Volkswagen commercial vehicles, is uncompromisingly reliable, versatile and economical: the Crafter.

 

Success stems from quality.

The Crafter has qualities you can count on. It has many practical features as standard to make your working day easier, and more than 600 equipment options help to make it the right vehicle for every job. Costs always remain low – the Crafter’s powerful TDI engines are uncompromisingly economical. Long maintenance intervals significantly lower running costs and the Crafter’s high level of reliability avoids expensive downtime. Finally, the top-quality workmanship and long service life of Volkswagen vehicles result in a high resale value in the end. In short: the Crafter pays its way from the first to the last day.

A safe journey – with ESP, ABS, TCS and EDL.

Safety first: the Crafter is equipped with an ultra-modern safety package. ESP, ABS, TCS and EDL are standard so that you and your load arrive safely at your destination. Whether driving in bad weather or in poor road conditions – the Crafter makes the best of every situation. The latest generation of the electronic stabilisation programme (ESP) adjusts individually to load conditions for good cornering whether the vehicle is fully loaded or empty.

  • ESP, ABS, TCS and EDL as standard
  • Hill holder is standard for Shiftmatic (available as an option for manual gearbox)
  • Audible reversing warning signal as an option, is triggered automatically when reverse gear is engaged
  • Rain sensor and automatic driving light control available as an option
  • Park distance control at front and rear as an optional extra
  • Tyre pressure monitoring display as an option

Safe and sound: you are always well protected in the Crafter. In addition to the standard driver’s airbag, five more airbags are available as optional extras (front passenger airbag, side airbags and curtain airbags). The Crafter also has high body stiffness and therefore very robust, safe build quality. The 16" running gear ensures greater cornering stability and helps to keep the Crafter on track.

  • Optimised braking behaviour in all load conditions due to 16" running gear and brakes that are larger in comparison with the predecessor model
  • Cornering stability through wide track and optimised running gear
  • Full-length lateral rubbing strips
  • Optimised body stiffness at the front end for improved safety
  • Driver’s airbag as standard, five additional airbags as an option (airbag for front passenger plus side and curtain airbags)
