History

Volkswagen's commercial vehicle history began with the iconic Type 2 'Bulli' (known as the Microbus or Kombi in some markets) in 1950, which established the blueprint for the company's future vans. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles became a separate brand within the Volkswagen Group in 1995, focusing exclusively on light commercial vehicles. The company has built a strong reputation for quality, reliability, and innovation, with models like the Transporter achieving iconic status in the commercial vehicle world.
