History & notable variants

The Transporter T6 was introduced in 2015 with significant updates to the previous generation's design and technology. In March 2019, a mid-cycle refresh named T6.1 was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, featuring electric power steering for enhanced driver assistance functions and minor styling changes. The ABT e-Transporter, an electric variant of the T6.1, was introduced in 2020. Production ended in 2024 due to EU regulations requiring certified security against cyberattacks.
