Volkswagen Crafter – the van in the truck class above 3.5 t: BESTEL, panel-van and pick-up versions with L1 to L3 and H1 to H3, TDI engines from 80 to 130 kW, 3,500 to 7,500 kg gross weight
This page gathers VW Crafter models that are registered as goods vehicles above pure passenger-car registration – Volkswagen's large van in the gross-weight range from 3 to 5 tonnes and beyond. The Crafter reached the market in 2006 as a joint development of Volkswagen and DaimlerChrysler; the first generation up to 2016 was technically largely identical to the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and was built by Mercedes-Benz in Düsseldorf and Ludwigsfelde, and from the second generation from 2017 the Crafter has been an independent VW design built in Września, Poland, where it is also produced as the MAN TGE. The type designations 30, 32, 35, 46 and 50 denote gross-weight classes, L1 to L3 the wheelbase or body length, H1 to H3 the roof height, BESTEL is the Dutch registration term for the closed panel van, DC and PU denote double cab and pick-up, ASG the automated manual gearbox.

The register lists here 80 versions with engine outputs from 80 to 130 kW (recorded for 54 models), displacements from 1,968 to 2,490 cm³ across four to six cylinders, unladen weights from 2,065 to 4,662 kg, gross weights from 3,500 to 7,500 kg (for 79 models), lengths from 5,750 to 8,700 mm and widths from 1,940 to 2,550 mm.
The Crafter competes in the large-van segment with the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit and Iveco Daily and is used in panel-van, combi, dropside and pick-up form as well as with numerous special bodies for trades, furniture transport and as a motorhome base.
On used vans, mileage and the condition of the TDI engines count, along with the state of the dual-clutch or automated gearbox, rust on sills, wheel arches and load floor, the function of driver-assistance systems on younger model years, and the service history on vehicles used intensively for commercial work.
