VW delays intro of ID Buzz bus
The introduction of the Volkswagen ID Buzz, the fully electric microbus redux, is being delayed until 2023.
The modern take on the retro hippie-era van to be built in Hanover, Germany was originally scheduled to go on sale next year. But Scott Keogh, CEO of Volkswagen of America, told an Automotive News panel discussion this week that VW is pushing back the battery-powered microbus for another year because it must share capacity with a small electric commercial cargo van for Europe that has been deemed a priority.
The retro-styled, battery-powered van was first shown in 2017 at the Detroit Auto Show and had been promised for 2022 deliveries. The ID Buzz is being proceeded in European showrooms by a more conventional ID 3 electric hatchback, as well as the ID 4 crossover, a compact SUV that will be VW’s first ground-up electric vehicle offered in North America.
