Model History[]
A retool was issued in 2019 for easier assembly. The body was split in half with the mandatory rear rivet assembly going through the roof with the top retaining metal and the bottom becoming plastic. It has also shrunken down in size competing against the DKW Schnellaster, Ford Transit, and Renault Estafette.
- The MB405 VW Delivery Van is a slightly modified version of the MB390 VW Transporter.
