Volkswagen T2 Transporter
The second Transporter generation, associated with travel and camping.
Inhaltssprache
The T2, the second Transporter generation, developed the idea of a commercial vehicle that could also serve travellers. Transporters, affectionately called Ogórki in Poland, are characteristic cars in the Pępowo collection. A red campervan holds a special place in the Sucheckis’ memories of journeys, including a trip to Morocco.
The T2 generation appeared in 1967. It received a single-piece panoramic windscreen, replacing the divided one used on the T1. Larger windows brought more light into the cab and improved visibility for both the driver and passengers.
A sliding door became standard on this generation. Camper versions also used pop-up roofs. A body originally intended to carry people and goods could thus be adapted for longer journeys and rest along the way.
T2 production in Hanover lasted until 1979, but that was not the end of the entire family. Vehicles of this generation continued to be built in Brazil until 2013. Its European successor therefore arrived long before T2 production finally ended worldwide.
Für Kinder
Ogórek is a Polish nickname for the Volkswagen Transporter. The second generation, T2, appeared in 1967. It received one wide front windscreen and larger windows. These gave the driver and passengers a better view of the road.
Some Transporters were converted into campervans. A pop-up roof provided more room when parked, while sliding doors made the interior easier to use. The Sucheckis’ red campervan accompanied them on journeys, including a trip to Morocco. T2 production in Germany ended in 1979, but continued much longer in Brazil, until 2013.
