Volkswagen EuroVan T4

1992 – 2003 — GERMANY

The Volkswagen Transporter T4, known as the EuroVan in North America, was a van produced by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles from 1990 to 2004. It succeeded the popular Volkswagen Type 2 (T3) and was later replaced by the Transportation (T5) model. This van marked a significant shift for Volkswagen as it was their first to feature a front-mounted, water-cooled engine, departing from the traditional air-cooled, rear-engined design of its predecessors. The T4's development was influenced by the success Volkswagen experienced with front-engined layouts in their passenger cars. While there were considerations in the late 1970s to move towards a front-engined, water-cooled design for their vans, the company ultimately introduced the rear-engined T3 model in 1980 before transitioning to the T4. This delay in shifting to a front-engine layout meant that the T4 was groundbreaking for Volkswagen's commercial vehicle line when it was finally introduced. Key Points: 1.
