History: The Volkswagen Transporter T5 range is the fifth generation of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (VWCV/VWN) 'Transporter' series of medium-sized light commercial vehicles and the people mover Caravelle/Multivan range. It was launched 6 October 2002, and went into full production on 25 April 2003, replacing the fourth generation T4 Transporter range.
Key markets for the T5 range are Germany, the United Kingdom, Taiwan, Russia, France, Turkey and Singapore. The U.S. market does not receive the Transporter T5 range due to it being classed as a light truck, which thereby automatically includes a 25% extra tax (known as the chicken tax) on importation to the United States. The passenger vans were the worst selling vans in the North American market in 2003, when VW North America sold the last Eurovans in the United States. For the United States and Canada, it was replaced by the Chrysler-built Volkswagen Routan, a Dodge Caravan with a VW badge; it continues to be sold in Mexico.
