Hannover (September 20, 2018) - the original #volkswagen Transporter is the most recognizable light commercial vehicle of all time. With the world premiere of the new I.D. BUZZ CARGO, #volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is showing how an electrically powered and completely redeveloped Transporter might change the world of LCVs. This innovative zero-emissions panel van could be launched as early as 2021. Meanwhile, the concept vehicle offers a glimpse into the middle of the next decade with its alternative, fully-automated "I.D. Pilot" driving mode (Level 4).

The transporter concept being presented at the IAA Commercial Vehicles in Hannover is a sibling of the I.D. BUZZ. That concept, which was presented in 2017 in Detroit, delighted people around the globe and will go into production starting in 2022. The new I.D. BUZZ CARGO was designed to be just as close to production level. The I.D. BUZZ was developed jointly by #volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and #volkswagen Passenger Cars.
