Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles launched a range of near-production, new ID. Buzz and ID. Buzz Cargo concept vehicles at IAA Transportation 2022 last month, highlighting the versatility of the all-electric van.

The selection of ID. Buzz world premieres, which included a refrigerated variant and a paramedic conversion, were joined in Hanover by a range of more than 30 new models, including a taxi version of the Multivan.

Tell me more about the taxi version…

The ID. Buzz Flex-Cab concept

Dutch specialists, Snoeks, has fitted out an ID. Buzz Cargo ready for passenger transport use. With five seats, the Flex-Cab concept turns the ID. Buzz Cargo into an electric version of the Caravelle. It features an electrically adjustable and configurable three-person bench seat in the rear. The air conditioning system can be adapted depending on whether there are passengers or goods in the rear, with the Flex-Cab suitable for use as a shuttle, taxi, community minibus or trades.

Not just ONE taxi… TWO taxis!

Also making its debut were innovative vehicle concepts such as the new Multivan as a taxi version. The complete redesign of the 2021 Multivan was presented in Hannover as a large taxi that can be ordered direct from the factory. Further new Multivan products include a vehicle from Dutch superstructure manufacturer Snoeks, which cleverly combines the transport of passengers and goods.
