Large transporters with increased ground clearance place special demands on comfort and safety in everyday use. Especially in vehicles with rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD), the entry is significantly higher than in front-wheel drive models. This fully automatic side step for VW Crafter and MAN TGE from 03/2017 was developed precisely for these requirements – robust, powerful, and optimally integrated.

What are the benefits of an electric step for Crafter & TGE (RWD/AWD)?

The fully automatic side step extends automatically when the right-hand sliding door is opened, supports up to 240 kg, and improves ergonomics every time you get in and out. Ideal for rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models as well as Grand California variants with increased ground clearance.

Fully automatic side step for VW Crafter & MAN TGE – RWD / AWD

The electrically swivelling step is specially designed for VW Crafter and MAN TGE models built after 03/2017 with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. It is also suitable for the VW Crafter Grand California, making it ideal for campers, motorhomes and raised commercial vehicles.

When the right-hand sliding door is opened, the step extends automatically and positions itself at an ergonomically optimal entry height. When the door is closed, the step swivels back under the vehicle automatically. When retracted, it remains virtually invisible and does not affect the vehicle's appearance or ground clearance.

Note: This version is not suitable for front-wheel drive (FWD) vehicles. A separate version is available for FWD models.
