Volkswagen Transporter T28 SWB Diesel 2.0 TDI 110 Commerce Van

The Transporter T28 SWB provides a load volume of approximately 5.8 m³ and a maximum payload of around 1,300 kg. Its load length of 2,572 mm and height of 1,410 mm make it suitable for transporting tools, equipment, or bulky goods commonly used in trade and fleet operations.

The 2.0 TDI 110 PS diesel engine delivers a combined fuel economy of around 40–42 mpg (WLTP) and CO₂ emissions of approximately 183 g/km. It meets Euro 6 emissions standards, offering good efficiency for mixed urban and motorway use while remaining compliant with most low-emission zones.

The Transporter has a long-standing reputation for durability and low downtime. Its manual gearbox is cost-effective to maintain, while features such as rear parking sensors and electric mirrors improve usability for multi-driver fleets.

The Transporter includes a 3-year manufacturer warranty (up to 100,000 miles) for business use. Service intervals are typically every 12 months or up to 21,000 miles, depending on usage type, helping ensure predictable maintenance planning.

Standard safety systems include Front Assist with City Emergency Braking, Hill Start Assist, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and traction control. These assistive features help reduce accident risk and maintain vehicle stability under load.

The Transporter retains strong residual values due to its reliability and market demand. However, businesses should factor in diesel market trends and ensure the lease mileage limits match operational requirements to maximise value over the contract term.
