Whilst the Transporter has evolved dramatically during that time the philosophy and vision that created the original still holds true, VW said.

“Its reputation for rugged reliability has endured over the decades to make the Transporter one of the world’s best-selling light commercial vehicles.”

The redesigned line goes on sale worldwide later this year.
