Volkswagen cargo area trim
Volkswagen is one of the most successful manufacturers in the European commercial vehicle market with its Caddy, Transporter T5/T6/T6.1/T7, and Crafter models. The vehicles are considered particularly reliable, versatile, and durable – ideal for craft businesses, logistics companies, service providers, municipal companies, and vehicle converters. To ensure that the cargo area is optimally protected in daily use, we recommend a custom-fit cargo area lining that protects the interior walls, window areas, and sensitive bodywork zones from damage in the long term.
Our interior linings for Volkswagen Transporters are manufactured using modern CNC technology specifically for each vehicle. The elements fit exactly into the respective contours, creating a robust, durable, and visually clean loading area. This makes the lining systems ideal for all kinds of commercial use as well as for individual conversions, such as mobile workshops, camping vehicles, or special-purpose vehicles.

Why a cargo area trim for VW Transporters makes sense
Transporters are exposed to high stresses every day: machines, tools, material boxes, or packages slide back and forth in the vehicle and bump against the interior walls. This quickly causes scratches, dents, or paint damage, which can lead to corrosion in the long term. High-quality cargo area paneling effectively prevents this damage and contributes significantly to maintaining the value of the vehicle.
Structure, order, and an optimal basis for further upgrades
The lining creates a smooth, stable, and easy-care surface that is not only visually appealing but also functional: it provides the ideal basis for shelving systems, tool holders, partition walls, or other installations. In addition, the interior can be cleaned more quickly and looks much more professional – an important argument for many commercial enterprises.
Material options for Volkswagen cargo area paneling
Two extremely robust and proven materials are available for the Caddy, Transporter, and Crafter:
Plastic honeycomb profile – very light, durable, and moisture-resistant
- Extremely low weight of approx. 1.5 kg/m²
- Resistant to moisture, oils, and many chemicals
- Shock-absorbing and robust for commercial use
- Ideal for demanding working environments
Birch plywood – stable, durable, and versatile
- Available in 4 mm or 6.5 mm thickness
- Optionally coated (easy to clean) or uncoated (for felt and carpet)
- Perfectly suited for shelving systems and fittings
- Highly dimensionally stable and durable
Depending on the model – especially in the VW Crafter – universal mounting kits are used. In some cases, these are mounted directly onto the sheet metal. For leased vehicles, this should be agreed with the dealer in advance, although cargo area linings are generally considered to add value.
