The Crafter Kampervan will come in seven colours, including four two-tone schemes, which are expected to be by far the most popular.
Brand Director of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle Ryan Davies said the partnership with Jayco combines the expertise of two leading brands and presents “another milestone in our brand’s collaboration with Australian auto building.”
