VW decides to put electric microbus into production

Volkswagen is to make an electric version of its Microbus, to be called the ID Buzz, sometime after 2022, writes Brian Byrne.

The vehicle will be the second in a series of specific electric cars under the ID brand. The first, a 4-door compact called the ID, is scheduled for 2022.

Announced at the Pebble Beach annual car event in Florida, the ID Buzz will also have a cargo carrying variant.

VW has said it plans to have more than 30 all-electric models by 2025.
