The all-electric SUV is set to be built at ŠKODA’s main plant in Mladá Boleslav, making it the first MEB-based Volkswagen Group vehicle in Europe to be produced outside Germany.

ŠKODA AUTO CEO, Bernhard Maier, said, “The Enyaq iV marks the beginning of a new era for ŠKODA, it is the figurehead of our E-Mobility campaign. With it, we’re making E-Mobility Simply Clever thanks to long ranges and short charging times. At the same time, the Enyaq iV takes ŠKODA-typical virtues such as superior interior space, a trendsetting design and maximum functionality to a new level. Our first all-electric e-model based on Volkswagen Group’s modular electric car platform will be built at our main plant in Mladá Boleslav, at the heart of ŠKODA. This is an important step towards securing the future of the location and safeguarding jobs in the region.”

• World premiere of the original Crafter took place in Berlin in April 1975
• Originally called the LT, it was a Transporter designed for heavy loads
• Over 1.5 million models have been sold across four generations
• Latest model introduced in 2016 setting the new benchmark for the sector

The Volkswagen Crafter is celebrating its 45^th anniversary, having first been revealed to the world in Berlin in April 1975. Launched as the big brother to the Transporter, the Crafter has gone on to sales success and multiple award wins across
four generations.

With a requirement for a van that could carry heavier loads, Volkswagen developed a van to fill the gap between its iconic Transporter model and a heavy truck – a cargo vehicle in the 2.8 to 3.5-tonne segment.

It was called the LT, short for Lasten-Transporter, which loosely translates as heavy load Transporter. It was available in two wheelbases, two roof variants, as a panel van, station wagon, bus, platform and double cab.

This versatility has stayed with the Crafter over the past 45 years, and since it launched, more than 1.5 million models have been produced and sold across the world.

To celebrate its birthday, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has taken a trip down memory lane, from the model’s beginnings through to the multi-award-winning Crafter on sale today.

LT: 1975-1996

Total worldwide sales: 470,000

With a focus on load space, engineers designed the original with a front engine between the driver and front passenger seat above the front axle, while maintaining rear-wheel drive. This space-saving design meant the LT remained compact – just 33cm longer and 20cm wider than the T2 Transporter – but with a 50% increase in cargo volume to 7.85m³. Inside, designers focused on ergonomics with ...
