VW Crafter: More info

"GermanCarFans" has more information about the VW Crafter.

A full engine range means that the right engine for the job is always available. The 2.5-litre five-cylinder TDI engine is available with 65 kW (89 PS), 80 kW (109 PS), 100 kW (136 PS) and 120 kW (164 PS), depending on the application. All engines have high torque at low engine speeds. This, together with modern common rail technology, ensures that the engines have very low fuel consumption. In addition, a diesel particulate filter (DPF) is fitted as standard.

A choice of three wheelbases, four load compartment lengths and three roof heights enhance the versatility of the new large transporter from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. The Crafter has a maximum load capacity of 17 m³. Naturally the payload and maximum permitted gross vehicle weight have been increased in line with the new capacity. The 5-tonne panel van can now transport a weight of approximately 2,670 kg. Access to the load compartment is excellent in the Crafter. In vehicles with the medium or long wheelbase, a sliding door reveals a loading aperture 1.3 m in width and 1.8 m in height, allowing standard pallets to be loaded easily (applies to LH2/LH3 load compartment heights). There is sufficient room inside the vehicle for two standard pallets to stand next to each other. An optional transport safety system can be used to prevent the load slipping.
