Volkswagen ID.Buzz has received an overwhelming response from fans as more than 20,000 orders have been placed.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (VWCV) announced that more than 20,000 ID. buzz order has been placed.
According to Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (VWCV), it’s the number before ID. Buzz was even shown at dealerships, which showed interest from customers in Europe. Currently, the electric van is only available for the European market.
“Even before the launch at our dealerships, since the start of advance sales, we’ve already been able to sell more than 20,000 ID. Buzz. With their availability in the showrooms, we are now expecting a further surge in demand.” Lars Krause, Member of the Brand Management Board for Sales and Marketing at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles
The Volkswagen ID.Buzz was initially only available in a version with an 82 kWh battery and rear-wheel drive. Customers can choose between a passenger version or a cargo van.
The introduction of an additional version with the option of a larger battery capacity, as well as the expansion of the sales geography, is sure to result in a larger number of orders.
Production of ID.Buzz began at Volkswagen’s production facility in Hanover, Germany in early June. Volkswagen targets production of 15,000 electric vans by the end of 2022 and then gradually increases production to 130,000 per year in the future.
The initial 6,000 units of production will be used by dealers, as well as some for the media.
ID. The Buzz is the first electric van to be based on the Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform and a slightly different approach from conventional vans (usually EV versions of existing conventional models).
