When we designed our first compact van, 65 years ago, we aimed to capture your imagination and meet your professional needs. Since then, each generation of the Transporter panel van has added to the legacy. The Transporter 6.1 panel van is the latest of the line, featuring a redesigned front end and interior, unprecedented connectivity and a more efficiently packaged load space. It carries over Volkswagen’s latest driver assistance systems and offers a range of Euro 6 compliant drivetrains including 4MOTION, to suit every purpose.

More comfort, more connectivity
The Transporter panel van 6.1 makes your journey as comfortable as possible with intelligent mobile online services, next-generation infotainment systems and a redesigned cab environment. The new infotainment systems are fully touchscreen and feature redesigned graphics, as well as an integrated SIM card as standard that offers a range of online functions and services.
Designed for flexibility, built for space
With its high-quality interior and generously sized load compartment, the Transporter panel van 6.1 offers outstanding functionality and versatility. More efficient rear design has increased load length and new locking functions keep your cargo secure. Some things don't change - the Transporter's reputation as a flexible, capable and well-built van carries into this latest generation.
Find out below the seamless way the New Transporter T6.1 intergrates new technology and connectivity to create a whole new driving experience.
Adaptive Cruise Control provides relaxed, safe and stress-free driving and improved safety for other road users. It measures the distance to the vehicle in front and adjusts your speed accordingly. If the vehicle in front accelerates, the T6.1 automatically follows at the set distance up to the previously selected speed. With T6.1, this system can bring the vehicle to a complete standstill and then pull away when the vehicle in front has moved (DSG only).
Park Assist
This optional extra aids positioning into parking spaces. When reverse gear is engaged, the vehicle automatically assumes control of the steering. All the driver has to do is operate the clutch, accelerator and brake.
Trailer Assist
The Transporter 6.1 features Trailer Assist, which lets the driver manoeuvre the vehicle and its trailer easily during parallel and reverse parking, using the wing mirror switch and rear-view camera.
Side Protection
Included with Park Assist, Side Protection monitors the vehicle's sides and alerts you using visual and audible warnings if you're getting too close to objects such as other vehicles, pillars, walls or pedestrians. Side Protection uses 12 ultrasound sensors (6 front and 6 rear) to detect objects and create a field of vision around the vehicle.
Lane Assist
Available as an option, Lane Assist countersteers the vehicle if the driver unintentionally drifts from a lane. The system also emits audible and visual warnings via the multi-function display to alert the driver of danger.

Split locking functions
Available on Transporter 6.1 vans with a bulkhead, the new split locking functions keep you and your load secure.
Postman mode is perfect for keeping your load secure if you get in and out of the cab often. The load doors are locked once the ignition is switched on, and can then only be unlocked and opened from in the van. A light in the key shows when the load space is locked.
Workshop mode lets you safely lock personal kit and paperwork in the cab but keep the load area open. It’s ideal if you need to load or unload cargo on site or away from a secure base.
The Transporter 6.1 also comes in various sizes and rear door configurations which means that there will always be a Transporter to fit your needs.
A range of sizes
The Transporter panel van 6.1 adapts perfectly to every task. Two wheelbases and two roof sizes give a load volume from 5.8 to 9.3 m3 withspace for up to 3 Euro pallets. With its low rear sill, generous rear opening width of 1,473 mm and maximum load height of 1,940 mm for high roof models, you’ll discover that whichever solution you choose, the Transporter makes load access easy and convenient.
Rear door solutions
The Transporter 6.1 panel van has the perfect rear door solution, no matter what the job is. Every van is available with a choice of either a large tailgate or versatile rear wing doors. Both are available glazed or in solid metal for added security.
