Transporter delivers winning economy at MPG Marathon.

A Volkswagen Transporter has demonstrated how cost-effective it is to run by winning its class in the ALD Automotive TOTAL Excellium MPG Marathon 2008 by achieving 52.48 mpg after a challenging competition in real-world conditions. As the only medium or large van to achieve more than 50 mpg during the event, the Transporter T28 SWB also used less fuel and had the lowest cost per mile than its rivals thanks to an economical combination of performance and flexibility!

The TDI badge on the back of the vehicle

The Transporter delivers refined power, torque, flexibility and economy, with its range of four exciting, state-of-the-art engines - all featuring Volkswagen’s LongLife Servicing regime. At the heart of every Transporter sits one of Volkswagen’s amazing TDI ‘Pumpe Duese’ (PD) diesel engines. Each of the TDI PD units features unit injector technology and offers more economy through improved fuel consumption.

Continual improvements to our engine range provide environmental benefits too and all Transporter engines now comply with EU 4 legislation. The 130PS and 174PS engines also benefit from a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), as standard, which helps cut particulates from exhaust gases. With masses of power and torque on offer, the Transporter will carry your load with ease.
