Volkswagen – T7 series production starts – Economy

The latest version of the VW bus, the T7 Multivan, is now going into series production at the headquarters of the commercial vehicle subsidiary (VWN) in Hanover. From a technical point of view, the Multivan is particularly important because it combines the MQB modular system with a plug-in hybrid drive for the first time. Such platforms are used in the automotive industry to standardize standards and reduce costs by using more identical parts. Volkswagen is gradually converting the plant in the capital of Lower Saxony into a factory that will only build electric cars. The all-electric ID Buzz will start next year: The e-bus is to play an important role in the development of autonomous driving and to offer the functions group-wide first.
