HANOVER (March 8, 2025) – Volkswagen is celebrating 75 years of the VW Bus. It is the commercial vehicle with the longest production run in Europe. On 8 March 1950, the first Transporter – or T1 for short – left the production line in Wolfsburg. Since then, more than 12.5 million VW Buses have followed – produced in Hanover from 1956. This makes it the most successful European commercial vehicle of all time. It has already been a cult vehicle for many years. From the T1 to the sixth generation T6.1, one platform always provided the basis for all derivatives – from vans to camper van icons. But the era of electric mobility necessitated a transformation of the all-rounder and thus a paradigm shift: ‘One VW Bus for all’ therefore became ‘The right VW Bus for everyone’. The current Multivan marked the start of a new era in 2021 – a van designed for leisure and work, available for the first time with an optional plug-in hybrid drive. The first all-electric VW Bus in large-scale production followed in 2022 with the ID. Buzz. In 2025, the new Transporter product line is launching as the third model series. The current VW Bus range thus consists of three pillars with six base models: the Multivan and California, the ID. Buzz and the ID. Buzz Cargo commercial vehicle, as well as the Transporter and Caravelle shuttle version. They all carry the DNA of the multifunctional T1 in their design and layout to this day. And that’s how it will stay. Continue reading

HANOVER, Germany (January 30 2025) – The Bremen Classic Motorshow opens its doors on 31 January, marking the start of the 2025 classic vehicle season. Volkswagen Commercial Oldtimer vehicle division will travel to Bremen on Germany’s still wintry roads with some all-wheel drive treasures that are perfectly suited to the weather: a freshly restored T3 syncro 16” flatbed truck – only 60 units of which were ever built – and a record-breaking T4 Multivan syncro. There’s a good reason for this: Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is celebrating ’40 years of the all-wheel drive’ in 2025. The motto: “Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.” There is no doubt that the T3 and T4 syncro, as well as the later T5 and T6 4MOTION, have made a significant contribution to the fact that the VW van has become an icon for globetrotters, tradespeople and campers who often have to drive their vehicles on unpaved terrain. In Bremen, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is now looking back on 40 years of all-wheel drive and, at the same time, looking to the future. This is because the seventh generation of the Bulli – the Multivan, California, Transporter, Caravelle and ID. Buzz – is also available with all-wheel drive. Continue reading
