Volkswagen Will Build That New Microbus. I’m not really sure if I can let myself believe this, since I’ve been hurt so many times before. But here goes: Volkswagen’s Head Volk, Herbert Diess, told the UK’s Auto Express at the reveal of the new VW Polo that Volkswagen will actually produce a new version of the iconic Microbus, based on their ID Buzz concept car. Don’t chicken out, again, VW. Volkswagen has now made a half dozen retro microbus concept cars in my life span and the newest is. Diess elaborated a bit on the role of . We are selling loads of Beetles still, particularly in US markets.”Earlier this year at the Geneva motor show, VW’s design chief Oliver Stefani suggested that the new MEB platform (VW’s new modular electric car platform) was partially responsible for why a new bus is suddenly possible, since it’s now possible to get the proper, iconic Type 2 bus proportions, since EVs don’t require a hood for a front- mounted engine. Let’s all just be totally honest here: Volkswagen is boned. I mean, they’re not going- away- boned. If they can do it properly, it should be something that has very little competition in its (admittedly niche) segment, but would have growth potential to go beyond. There’s no question that the first versions of an all- new, electric Microbus will be a niche, premium vehicle, even a halo car for VW. But, if the platform is done right, a de- contented version could also find itself ready and available for the first real batch of electric delivery and transport vehicles. A new, EV Bus could also be the first EV to really have the potential to capture public interest and attention the way Tesla has and Chevy’s Bolt hasn’t. If priced reasonably, it could also have the potential to fill the electric family- hauler role that Tesla’s Model X so far hasn’t managed to pull off, too. This reborn Microbus will be Volkswagen’s most important new car in the near future. I just hope they finally actually manage to get it done.
