Now available to order, these additions mark a significant milestone for the Transporter line-up, offering all-electric practicality, efficiency, and comfort — tailored for both professional and personal mobility.
With prices starting from £53,404 OTR for the Kombi Commerce Plus and £56,129 OTR for the Shuttle Life, both models come with competitive Solutions Personal Contract Plans, beginning from £449 per month².
