A brief history of the beloved Volkswagen microbus
Volkswagen
Volkswagen is stepping up its game in the EV space.
The German automaker is aiming to introduce more than 30 electrified vehicles by 2025, and to sell two to three million of them a year, in response to the Volkswagen emissions scandal.
To show it's serious electric cars, Volkswagen has been rolling out a series of concept vehicles, like the BUDD-e electric microbus shown at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, which you can see above.
The BUDD-e is meant as a modern spin on a beloved Volkswagen classic, but it's doubtful it would have the same appeal as the classic Volkswagen Microbus, also known as the Kombi, if it were to go into production.
