Let’s be honest, a Transporter is more than just a run-around. It’s a workhorse, designed to put in long shifts. And the longer time spent on the road each day the more chance of an accident. That’s why it’s loaded with safety technology and driver aids - to get you home safe every day.
Driver Fatigue detection2
A welcome wake-up call.
This potentially life-saving system continually evaluates steering movements and other independent signals, and if fatigue is detected, warns the driver with an alarm, and recommends the driver take a break on the console display.
2. Safety technologies are designed to assist the driver, but should not be used as a substitute for safe driving practices.

Multi-Collision brake
Prevent follow-on collisions.
When the airbag sensors detect a collision, this state-of-the-art system applies the brakes to slow down the vehicle so that a secondary impact will be lessened or avoided. During braking, the hazard and brake lights are illuminated and remain activated. The driver can take over at any time.

Electronic Differential Lock
Never lose control around corners
When cornering, this valuable safety system responds to the load relief at the front wheel on the inside of a corner, which improves traction and reduces the tendency to understeer.
Hill Start Assist
It’s all uphill from here, in a good way.
This intelligent feature allows you to make a hill start without the vehicle rolling back. If you’re on an incline greater than 5 per cent, the system will hold your car stationary for 1.5 seconds after the foot brake is released by temporarily locking the brake pressure.
Airbags
The best possible protection.
The Transporter van has airbags for the driver and front passenger, as well as front side and head airbags. These front curtain airbags are available even when the front bench seat is fitted, so if something does go wrong, you’ll be pleased you’re in a Transporter.
Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP)
A good steer on safety.
Helps you stay in control of your vehicle by preventing under or over steering. If your vehicle starts to skid, the Electronic Stabilisation Programme will apply the brakes to individual wheels and adjust the engine’s power output to correct the problem.
Understanding engines.
The engines in the Transporter provide impressive performance and improved fuel consumption. In addition, innovations like the dual clutch gearbox DSG, and Hill Start Assist make the new Transporter Cab Chassis the smoothest ride in its class.
