VW e-Crafter production starts in Września

Production of Volkswagen’s e-Crafter electric van has started in Września, Poland.

It’s the second all-electric model being made at the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles plant there, alongside the MAN eTGE van.

After nearly two years of shared production with the brand’s main plant in Hannover, the plant in Poland is now taking over production of all versions of the Crafter.

Comprehensive training has been given the plant team, the Września running on 100% green, sustainable electric power, the company says.

VW says the e-Crafter is the ideal solution for urban logistics transport as its 172km range and 35kW battery capacity make it perfect in daily deployment for deliveries within the so-called ‘last mile’.

“The task now is to produce both vehicles in Września successfully in large numbers,” plant manager Stefanie Hegels says.

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is also the lead brand for autonomous driving, Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and Transport as a Service (TaaS), and will be developing and producing corresponding special purpose vehicles (SPVs) such as robotaxis and robovans.
