How many memories it is after 80/90; it carries not only youth but also full of stories...
Speaking of T1, perhaps many people have not known and do not know what kind of existence it is, but if you talk about the "big Q bar" model in the QQ speed car game, then maybe you are not unfamiliar. The game model designed with the Volkswagen T1 as the prototype was warmly sought after by players at the time, of course, it was sought after purely because of the bonuses in the game, but in any case, it also left a deep impression on childhood.
Speaking of T1, it belongs to the first generation of the Transporter series, as the nasal ancestor of the van multi-purpose vehicle, T1 and the Beetle at that time belonged to the same platform development, including the engine, a number of configurations are also following the Design of the Beetle.
The T1 not only takes into account a very cute design, but also shows the skills of the Volkswagen brand very well. From its introduction in 1950 to its discontinuation in 1967, 1.8 million units were built in 18 years. At that time, there were such rich achievements, and it also laid a legendary status for the subsequent T1.
However, at the Detroit Auto Show 5 years ago, the Volkswagen brand was also the first resurrection of the T1 model, as a new energy to the public and gave the name of the ID.Buzz, although the official did not confirm that the ID.Buzz is the new energy version of T1, but to tell the truth about the appearance can understand the intention of the Volkswagen brand.
In recent days, according to foreign media sources, volkswagen ID. Buzz is expected to be produced in the United States; it is expected to be officially launched in 2024. It is also reported that Volkswagen is considering expanding its Chattanooga plant in Tennessee to produce ID. Buzz and electric pickup models.
Appearance, Volkswagen ID. Buzz basically maintains the model design of Volkswagen T1, the most important purpose is the large LOGO of the front face, and the luminous design is also the style style of the Volkswagen ID family, and the overall feeling is full of technology.
The side parts, such as pure styling, are very similar to the "van", but the two-color body and the exquisite decoration in many places also make it free from the "van". On the tail, the through-type taillights are added to the black and white Volkswagen LOGO and the pure white Volkswagen ID. The buzz word highlights the identity and also doubles the youthful attributes of the whole vehicle.
In fact, at present, the ID family of the pure electric sequence of the Volkswagen brand has competed for a place in the domestic market, and the avant-garde appearance, accurate endurance and the adjustment skills of the Volkswagen family's strong foundation have promoted the ID series to have its own differentiation and strong product competitiveness. Follow-up ID. Buzz and ID.4 will be produced in collinear lines; sharing the same MEB EV architecture.
Although the official has not announced the specific time of the follow-up introduction into the country, it is revealed that the ID. Buzz will initially be sold as imported from Germany, indicating that the car will most likely be produced in the United States or Mexico in the future. In addition, in the later stages, Volkswagen ID.Buzz will also launch a long wheelbase version. To sum up, in terms of the product forces that can be seen at present, Volkswagen ID. If Buzz can be introduced into China early, it may be able to harvest a good sales result. Because in the current domestic market, Volkswagen ID. Buzz's model positioning, obviously, has no clear competitors, so like the original Hongguang MINI, it leads a new period of automotive innovation.
