Volkswagen e-Transporter Shuttle LWB 160 kW 65 kWh

The Volkswagen e‑Transporter Shuttle LWB 160 kW 65 kWh is a large all-electric passenger shuttle designed for taxi operators, airport transfers, executive transport and large families. The Long Wheelbase (LWB) version offers seating for up to nine occupants while combining Volkswagen’s commercial-vehicle practicality with zero-emission electric driving.

Powered by a rear-mounted electric motor producing 160 kW (215 hp) and 415 Nm of torque, the e-Transporter Shuttle delivers considerably stronger performance than most passenger vans. It accelerates from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 8.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 93 mph (150 km/h).

Energy is supplied by a 63.8 kWh usable battery (68 kWh gross), providing a real-world range of around 150 miles (241 km). Depending on weather and driving conditions, range can vary between approximately 105 and 220 miles.

Charging is supported via 11 kW AC charging and 125 kW DC rapid charging. A typical 10-80% rapid charge takes around 38 minutes, helping minimise downtime for commercial operators.

Passenger accommodation is a key strength. The LWB Shuttle provides seating for up to nine passengers including the driver, twin sliding side doors and a spacious, flexible interior. Volkswagen also offers features such as a 13-inch infotainment display, digital instrument cluster, optional Harman Kardon audio system and three-zone climate control.

The e‑Transporter Shuttle sits alongside the ID. Buzz in Volkswagen’s EV people-mover range but focuses more heavily on commercial passenger-carrying duties and maximum seating capacity.

The Volkswagen e‑Transporter Shuttle LWB 160 kW 65 kWh combines strong passenger capacity, modern technology and electric efficiency, making it a compelling choice for shuttle services, hotels, airports and large families seeking a practical zero-emission people carrier.
