Prompted by the success of similar moves with their passenger cars, Volkswagen had toyed in the late 1970s with the idea of replacing their air-cooled, rear-engined vans with a front-engined, design. The reasons for deciding in 1980 to instead introduce a new rear-engined are unclear. Thus, the introduction of a front-engined layout was delayed until the arrival of the T4.

After a run of nearly 14 years, T4 production ceased in 2003, making it second only to the T1 for length of production in its home market. LWB short-nosed Double cab Pickup (aka Doka) Part of the success of the T4 was its versatility. It was available in many forms and sizes as standard and formed the basis of many specialist vehicles, from buses to campervans to ambulances. Wheelbase Two standard were available; 'short' (2920mm) and 'long' (3320mm). The Transporter T4 was exported to North America from 1992 until 2003 under the Eurovan. In the US, the short wheelbase Eurovan 5-cylinder passenger models (CL, GL, GLS, and MV) were only sold for model year 1993.

Smaller than a standard American delivery van, but larger than an American or Japanese passenger minivan, Volkswagen played up its size with the slogan, 'EuroVan: There's nothing mini about it'. VW only imported them to the US for one year because sales in the US were disappointing, but sales continued in Canada and Mexico.

VW reintroduced the Eurovan passenger models in the US for model year 1999 with a VR6 engine as standard, and discontinued it again with worldwide T4s after 2003. The manual transmission was not offered in North America with the VR6 engine. VW imported the short wheelbase Eurovan 5-cylinder gas engine passenger models (CL, GL, GLS, MV Weekender and Westfalia Camperised) to Canada from 1991 to 1996.

A panel version (long wb only) was sold from 1993 to 1997. The Eurovan Camper by Winnebago was introduced in the US and Canada in 1995 with the five-cylinder engine, and was upgraded to the VR6 for the 1997-2003 models. These were only available on the longer 3,320 mm (131 in) wheelbase T4. These small pop top camper vans are unique in North America and have developed a cult following.

Winnebago also built three small Class C motorhomes with the forward cab of the T4/Eurovan called the Rialta, Vista, and Sunstar(Itasca branded). The Rialta was available in 1995-1996 with the five-cylinder engine, in 1997-2001 with the AES version of the VR6, and in 2002-2005 with the AXK engine.
