Then the electric public bus VW ID Buzz premieres
The facts about the battery-powered public bus are still stingy. But now VW’s CEO has revealed when ID Buzz has its world premiere.
Volkswagen began marketing its battery-powered passenger bus in a modern version in 2021. Last summer, the production line at the Hanover factory was rebuilt for ID Buzz, and at the end of the year, pre-bookings were opened.
Via Twitter Volkswagen’s CEO Herbert Diess has now announced that the premiere of ID Buzz is set for March 9 this year. Although the date is close in time, VW is still stingy with information about the bus’s performance.
What we do know is that the vehicle is based on VW’s MEB platform for electric cars, and that the bus comes in two versions. Partly the usual for passenger transport – which gets flexible seats and side sliding doors.
Partly as ID Buzz Cargo, a cabinet for transports, which according to the manufacturer should offer more cargo space than the VW Caddy, but less than their Transporter.
