Volkswagen first teased a modern Microbus 20 years ago. It took the company another 10 to follow it up with another concept, the Bulli, in 2011. The Budd-e and ID. Buzz concepts followed, and we’re as close as ever to the production model’s big debut. VW will reveal it on March 9, but pre-production examples are already rolling off the assembly line, and they’re on their way to Spain for a very important task.
VW released a short video showing the ID. Buzz leaving the factory floor, still covered in some trippy camouflage. It’s heading to Barcelona, where the first media drives, which VW calls a “covered drive” in its tweet, will take place, putting journalists in the driver’s seat.
