Volkswagen camper van has been rejuvenated with the revealing of the concept, the ID Buzz, at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit.
The van looks very much like the the iconic VW Microbus, that was glorified by the 1960s hippie movement. It comes with eight seats and an all-electric drivetrain with a range of 600km.
Although it is based on a MEB platform, it is very unlikely for the ID Buzz to be put into production.
The ID Buzz also has futuristic self-driving technology. The steering wheel is not required for most of the time and can be retracted into the dash with a 'gentle push'.

The MEB platform that the ID Buzz is based on makes a very versatile seating arrangement, and according to Volkswagen the van has a 'perfect weight distribution'.
