What is the Volkswagen EuroVan?
The EuroVan was the North American name for Volkswagen’s T4 van, part of the Transporter family. It served as a passenger van and could also be adapted for leisure travel. The T4 marked a major change for the Transporter: it was the first in the series with a front-mounted engine and front-wheel drive.
The T4’s layout gave Volkswagen’s van range a new direction. In the United States and Canada, this generation was known as the EuroVan.
