It's essentially the same technology that was fitted to the now-discontinued e-Golf hatchback, which means it's no longer at the cutting edge the e-Transporter's range and performance figures are a bit underwhelming as a result.
The running gear fitted by Abt to make an eTransporter is made up of a 108bhp electric motor driving the front wheels and a 37.3kWh battery storing energy.

The Abt eTransporter T6.1, to give it its full official name isn't a fully fledged VW product: it was developed by independent contractor Abt – a company historically associated with souped-up Audis and Volkswagens, but one that's turning its hand to electric drivetrain technology off the back of its involvement in Formula E racing. After only a short time on sale, it was discontinued in early 2022 ahead of the arrival of the ID.Buzz Cargo. The eTransporter was VW's first fully electric van in the UK, facing rivals from Citroen, Fiat, Toyota, and Vauxhall, among others. While Volkswagen continues to expand its ID range of electric cars, including the ID.3 hatchback, ID.4 SUV and ID.5 coupe-SUV, the German brand lags behind the competition when it comes to electric commercial vehicles.
