Volkswagen will present a manufacturing model of its long-awaited ID.Buzz, an electrical reincarnation of its beloved Microbus or Kombi, on March 9 and plans to launch it within the United States in late 2023.

The ID.Buzz is considered one of “the most anticipated and most hyped” fashions anticipated from the Volkswagen model for the reason that firm launched its new Beetle within the late Nineteen Nineties, Scott Keogh, head of Volkswagen’s North American operations mentioned throughout a media name.

Figure 1 shows Volkswagen has shown a series of prototypes for a new Microbus over the past decade. But those prior show vans — the Budd.E and the Bulli — never made it to production, to the frustration of fans of the vehicle.

Keogh said that a three-row version of the ID.Buzz will launch in the United States, where the original microbus became an icon of the counterculture, in late 2023 or early 2024. Volkswagen will launch a two-row version in Europe.

Earlier Friday, Volkswagen said US sales of its VW brand vehicles rose 15 percent in 2021, driven largely by strong sales of gasoline-fueled SUVs such as the Atlas and Tiguan.

Shortages of vehicles caused by chip supply chain problems will continue to limit vehicle production and sales in the United States through 2022, Keogh said.

He said he believes as many as two million potential car buyers did not buy a vehicle in 2021 because of the lack of supply, creating pent up demand for this year and beyond. [3]
