The Volkswagen Crafter voted «Van of the Year 2012»
The Kangoo ZE was the main favourite of the competition, yet the French motor magazine «L'Argus» had finally awarded the prestigious title «Utilitaire de l’Année 2012” (Van of the Year 2012) to the Volkswagen Crafter. It means that the public will have to wait for at least another year before an electric van receives this much-coveted prize!

5 vans competing for the Van of the Year 2012 Title
The adamant jury of the «L'Argus» magazine put under close scrutiny 5 van models: the Kangoo ZE, the Fiat Ducato, the Iveco Daily, the Ford Transit, and the Volkswagen Crafter. Amongst other key criteria, the jury paid close attention to the vehicle' reliability, user- and environment-friendly features, value-for-money, etc.
The Volkswagen Crafter, a truly attractive van
Volkswagen has spared no effort when it comes to finishing touches, a driver will particularly appreciate the comfort of driving this model. The Volkswagen Crafter range includes panel van, chassis cab, double cab, dropside, and tipper. The van's engine power varies from 89 to 164 hp, whereas its fully loaded weight can go up to 3-5 tonnes.
