The makers of VW parts celebrated the 60th birthday of the Transporter. At the same time, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles reached its 10 millionth mark, due to the successful production of vans. This celebration was all the more hyped up when UK advertisements pumped up a powerful copy, “10 Million Transporter Drivers Can’t Be Wrong”.
The VW parts-bearing van was first produced in Wolfsburg in the year 1950. It echoes the same power that the Beetle has—a 1,131 cc engine that develops 25PS. Today, the Transporter varies in four diesel engines—TDI PD, 1.9-liters to 2.5-liters—a long way from what it once was. But at the same time, the same old magic of the Transporter is still in tact. After the next 60 years that this van will live through, we will really know that 20 million Transporter Drivers can’t be wrong—or more.
