Volkswagen Transporter 2026 News

History’s most influential van ever turns 60. With a global impact that includes Australia, the Ford Transit changed the way vans were designed, engineered and marketed from the very moment it hit the streets – initially in the UK and Europe – in October, 1965.

Volkswagen has revealed pricing for its 2026 Transporter mid-sized van, which is now available in both diesel and electric forms.
