• Volkswagen has launched a new entry-level panel van, the Transporter BBB Special. This
short-wheelbase, standardroof model costs £10,495 (exVAT) on the road; it replaces the Transporter BOO.
Like the 800, it has a 5.4m3 loadspace with a rear load hatch, but it's powered by the 88hp version of VW's 2.5-litre
TDI engine. This five-cylinder lump puts out 195Nm of torque from 1,900-2,50Orpm-39% more than the previous 68hp model—and promises better driveability and economy.
The 888 also has a threeyear warranty package, comprising a two-year/unlimited distance manufacturer's warranty and a third-year/100.000 mile dealer war ranty with three years' roadside assistance. VW reckons that it "gives operators a full-size panel van for the same price as many smaller car-derived vans".
