Vansdirect were proud sponsors of the Business Van of the Year Awards 2019, with a panel of experts including Vansdirect Managing Director, Richard Simmonds opting for Volkswagen Transporter Kombi in the Best Crew Van category - Vansdirect reveals all!
Business Van of the Year Awards 2019
Best Crew van
This category was open to all new crew, combi and cab-in-van style vans up to 3.5-tonnes gross vehicle weight, with the Volkswagen Transporter Kombi T30 SWB 2.0 TDI manual low roof Startline van regaining the crown the VW Transporter Kombi also won in 2018!
The crew van segment is incredibly competitive with almost all panel vans being available in crew van form, however the VW Transporter Kombi has achieved almost cult status amongst private buyers with successive generations of camper van conversions.
The VW Transporter Kombi is the complete all-rounder and can be described best as part-van and part people carrier. Based on the iconic VW Transporter medium van, it retains sliding side doors and a large rear opening whilst having the interior fittings of a passenger car. For business users this is an incredibly practical and spacious load carrier, available in numerous sizes as a van and with a selection of alternate body styles including the VW Transporter Kombi double cab, Caravelle MPV and Shuttle models.
VW Transporter Kombi Startline models are entry-level in terms of trim, however this can be deceiving, with standard equipment including: electric mirrors and windows, dual passenger seat, multi-adjustable driver's seat and a 5-inch touchscreen DAB radio with Bluetooth. There's also an impressive list of standard safety technology such as brake assist and post collision braking.
