 In British magazines they generally call them T25s. The peoplemover version

 The rest of Europe? Dunno, but I suspect Caravelle was used.

all the commercial series were badged as "Transporter" in europe.. panelvans,
(some kombi's) trucks, etc.
the nicer passenger versions were badged as "Caravelle"...caravelle, C, CL,
GL etc.
