The electric, fully automatic step from the TCE series for VW T5, T6, and T6.1 was specially developed for transporters and vans that require a compact design with high load capacity. Despite its shorter tread surface, it offers a load capacity of up to 400 kg and is ideal for professional use in passenger and mobility transport.
Side, fully automatic step – TCE series for VW T5 / T6 / T6.1
The heavy-duty TCE telescopic step is compatible with:
-
VW T5 from 2003 onwards

FAQ – TCE step for VW T5 / T6 / T6.1
Why is the TCE step for VW T5/T6 shorter than for larger transporters?
The 670 × 300 mm step surface is deliberately more compact in order to fit optimally into the vehicle geometry of vans. This leaves the side installation space free without having to sacrifice high load capacity.
Is the shorter length a disadvantage in everyday use?
No. Despite its compact design, the TCE step offers a load capacity of up to 400 kg and sufficient standing space for safe entry – especially when getting in and out frequently in city traffic.
For which wheelbases is the TCE step suitable?
This version is designed for both short and long wheelbases on the VW T5, T6, and T6.1, offering a high degree of flexibility in vehicle selection.
Is the step suitable for sliding doors?
Yes. The compact design of the TCE series is particularly advantageous for vehicles with side sliding doors, as it can be easily integrated into the entry area.
Which safety features are particularly important for van use?
The integrated obstacle detection (Autostop) prevents damage when entering and exiting, e.g., on curbs or uneven ground – a major advantage in urban use.
