| Chronology | |
| Predecessor | Volkswagen Transporter LT |
The Volkswagen Crafter, introduced in 2006, is the largest three- to five-ton van produced and sold by the German automaker Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. The Crafter officially replaced the Volkswagen Transporter LT that was launched in 1975, although it is known as the LT3, its production plant code.
Like the second-generation LT, the first-generation Crafter is a rebadged Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, built by Daimler AG,[1] with a powertrain by Volkswagen.[2] The Daimler variant has been also sold by Daimler as the Freightliner Sprinter and Dodge Sprinter. An all-electric variant, the e-Crafter, was released in 2017.[3]
Starting with the 2017 model year, the Crafter has been designed and built by Volkswagen, and no longer associated with the Sprinter.[4][5][6][7] A version of the Crafter is also sold by MAN Truck & Bus as the MAN TGE.[8]
