It's based on the versatile MQB Evo platform, the same one used on the Golf Mk8 and Caddy Mk4. The latest is the T7, which entered production two years ago at the brand's Hanover facility in Germany. You have the T2 that was introduced in 1967, its successor, the T3, and eventually the Transporter (T4) of the 1990s.
The iconic T1 paved the road for all other T models that followed in Volkswagen's lineup. In fact, you can pretty much consider this model to have started the home-away-from-home trend, as it was not uncommon back in the day to see Buses modified to resemble tiny homes, and it still isn't. They also featured sleeping accommodations long before the van life movement. Numerous examples transported (pun intended) the excited young people to the famous music festival hosted in 1969, and most of them wore bright colors.
They had rear-engine and rear-wheel drive layouts, with the powertrain family consisting of small gasoline units that were constantly upgraded over the years.Īs it has become the norm to mention past music festivals in a story dedicated to the VW Bus, consider this the official Woodstock reference. Minibus, panel van, panel truck, and regular and crew cab pickup versions of the model were released from 1950 to 1967, and all of them shared the same T1 platform. During the 17-year production run in Europe and the United States, Volkswagen made numerous variations of the first-gen Type 2.
