Gain a deeper understanding of the automotive industry transformation
————————
To some extent, T1, like the Beetle, is an indelible spiritual totem of the public, and it is an irreplaceable noble feeling in the hearts of car fans.
If the Beetle has helped many families realize the realization of private cars from scratch, then the emergence of T1 has provided a solid productivity for people's lives to become rich.
It can be understood that the T1 positioning the "van" is the Wuling of the European people of that era.
The ability to carry people and pull goods were the two most significant features of the T1. Now that Nirvana has been reborn, it has two more important labels of the new era, "electric" and "intelligent".
With the new label, the classic Volkswagen T1 is making a comeback under the name of ID.Buzz, and the new car is divided into two versions, passenger and commercial vans, the latter with a Cargo suffix in the name, and the full name ID.Buzz Cargo.
At the age of 70, I am still "cute" and have a lot of room
At first glance, the ID.Buzz is no different from the overall silhouette of the classic T1. Long body, rounded shape, recognizable at a glance.
Two words "silly".
ID.Buzz 4712mm long, 1985mm wide, 1937mm high and 2988mm wheelbase. The van version is 1mm taller, and the rear is closed and the left door is removed.
Based on this size space, ID.Buzz can provide up to 1121 litres of luggage compartment space when fully loaded, and if the second row is pushed down, the volume can be further expanded to 2205 litres.
ID of the van version. Buzz Cargo ceded all the rear ride space to the cargo, and the official cargo compartment volume can reach 3.9 cubic meters, the maximum load is 650kg, and the maximum allowable total mass is 3 tons.
This load capacity is about a "mid-surface" level, and the space is comparable to our common gold cup. In order to facilitate the transport of goods, the van version also offers two types of tailgates, folio and flip-up, the latter of which can also choose from electric tailgates.
Speaking of "electricity", it is necessary to mention the new electrified powertrain of ID.Buzz.
The new car is equipped with an 82kWh battery pack with a usable capacity of 77kWh, which is complemented by a rear-mounted motor with a maximum power of 150kW and a peak torque of 310N.m.
11kW charging is supported in ac environments, while DC fast charging can achieve 170kW.
Intelligent with the times
Although in terms of functionality, ID.Buzz more inclined to tool attributes, this car is not inferior to a private car at all on the intelligent level.
As an ID. The new members of the family, ID.Buzz, are also based on the MEB platform, and the foundation is very thick. From the appearance you can see a lot of new era shadows, such as ID. The family's usual through-line light strip, representing the latest lighting technology of the public IQ. Light matrix headlights, visibility cameras, and millimeter-wave radar.
Design is advancing, and the pursuit of energy efficiency in the new era is becoming more demanding.
While continuing the classic appearance and functionality of the T1, Volkswagen designers have further refined the aerodynamic design of the ID.Buzz. If you compare it closely, the FRONT OF ID.Buzz is more inclined than the T1, and the body's aerodynamic components are more abundant.
It is understood that the ID. Buzz wind resistance coefficient is only 0.285, ID. Buzz Cargo is 0.29, which is comparable to a car.
Goodbye to the huge steering wheel that is almost flat, goodbye to the manual radio, goodbye to the manual car window... Everything starts to get refined, everything becomes smart.
ID. Buzz and ID. Buzz Cargo has not been reduced by the public to intelligent weights, and IDs, because of its "function first". Like the other brothers in the series, it will be equipped with a wealth of driver assistance functions.
For example, the standard Car2X local traffic warning system can communicate with vehicles, vehicles and subgrades, and share road information. The Front Assist pre-collision safety system is also standard, while the passenger version also features lane Assist lane keeping system.
Again, these features are upgradeable and remain in a constantly new state as the software version is updated.
Three electric pieces, in addition to a maximum of 170kW DC fast charge, ID. Buzz will also support "plug and play" in the future. The ISO 15118-compliant charging interface automatically authorizes and exchanges data with the vehicle without physical unlocking or app scanning.
At the same time, ID. Buzz is supportive of external discharge, not only to power some external equipment, Volkswagen's plan is to directly power the home grid (V2H), using the vehicle as an energy storage unit.
About production and sale
According to the official version of the public, ID. Buzz and ID. Buzz Cargo will be produced at volkswagen's commercial owners' plant in Hannover, Germany.
New cars will be the first to open pre-sales in the European market in May, launch in some European countries in the fall, and gradually enter the US and Canadian markets.
Unfortunately, Volkswagen has not yet disclosed plans to produce new cars overseas and launch them in China. It is unlikely that domestic car fans will buy the "electric version of T1" through official channels in a short period of time...
