Volkswagen Commercial is celebrating after picking up two awards at the annual Great British Fleet Awards 2025.
The seventh generation Volkswagen Transporter, launched earlier this year, scooped ‘Medium Van of the Year’, while the Volkswagen ID.Buzz Cargo landed a third consecutive title as ‘EV Van of the Year’.
The latest accolade for the Volkswagen ID.Buzz Cargo – a commercial version of the eye-catching ID.Buzz multi-purpose vehicle – comes as Volkswagen moves to expand the range to include a new entry-level 59kWh variant alongside the 4MOTION all-wheel drive model and the standard 79kWh version.
John Kendall, Editor at Van Fleet World, said:"With Chinese manufacturers launching into the UK LCV market this year, the competition in the electric van sector is hotting up. For this year though, the ID. Buzz Cargo retains our EV Van of the Year title, thanks to its expanded range and head-turning design.”
Meanwhile, the new Volkswagen Transporter fended off tough opposition in the mid-size sector – including its sister Ford Transit Custom, the Vauxhall Vivaro and Mercedes-Benz Vito – to secure its accolade.
John Kendall adds:“Transit Custom was our winner last year, joined in 2025 by the recently launched seventh-generation Volkswagen Transporter. The Volkswagen offers more load space, payload and towing capacity than its predecessor.
“Both offer comprehensive specifications. There are two lengths and two roof heights and a range of passenger carrying models from both Ford and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. Both are good to drive and offer a range of power options.”
