Author: Volkswagen have come up trumps once again with the VW Transporter van which is arguably the best selling van in the world today. Volkswagen, who produce vans not only in Europe, but also in South America and South Africa produce a range of Transporter variants that include. 
The Transporter van can be best described as a medium sized commercial van that carries loads of between 2.5 and 3.0 meters in length, but thanks to a folding front passenger seat, and the lack of a bulkhead oversized loads beyond this may be accommodated. At the end of the Second World War thousands of German engineers and investors scattered across the corners of the World, but particularly to these regions hence their popularity, not just because of their technical abilities.
The range is all based around diesel engines from a respectable 84 PS up to a whopping 174 PS which really is a flying machine. The engines rely on “Pump Duse” technology which literally means pressure device. This means you can have your cake and eat it to us. More torque, more power, less fuel used. Volkswagen has basically done away with the pre-chamber which reduces torque and uses more fuel. All VW diesel engines produce a staggering amount of torque which means two things
1. They feel like there is more under the accelerator when you dive them
2. The vehicles trickle along at 80 mph doing just over 2200 RPM for both economy and a quiet life.
