Inovev plans 50,000 then 100,000 units per year of the new Volkswagen ID Buzz
- Volkswagen continues to build its range of 100% electric vehicles on the MEB platform. Today, it is the model that will gradually replace the Kombi (VP) and Transporter (VUL) which are produced at the Hanover site and were the heirs of the first Volkswagen vans that appeared in the early 1950s on the basis of the ladybug.
- The new models available in VP (ID Buzz) and LCV (ID Buzz Cargo) versions will also be manufactured at the Hanover site, even though they share the platform with the ID3 and ID4 manufactured at the Zwickau site. As with all electric vehicles, production will increase gradually, with Inovev expecting 50,000 units per year from 2023 to 2026, then 100,000 units per year from 2026 to 2029, and finally 150,000 units per year from 2030. The Volkswagen ID Buzz comes in the form of a minivan with a plunging front, 4.72 m long and 1.99 m wide, i.e. dimensions comparable to those of the current Kombi certainly a little longer and a little narrower.
- The electric motor is located on the rear axle, like in the good old days of the first Kombi of the 1950s… The battery offers a capacity of 77 kWh which allows the model to travel 420 km without recharging according to the WLTP cycle.
- Next year, a long-wheelbase LCV version will have a more powerful 90 kWh to 95 kWh battery to carry more cargo. The different versions of the ID Buzz will gradually take over from thermal engine models (Kombi and Transporter) which have been losing ground since 2018.
