Volkswagen at the Geneva International Motor Show 2019

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Volkswagen presents the #idbuggy at the Geneva International Motor Show. On the evening prior to the first press day, the #concept car will celebrate its world premiere at the #Volkswagen Group Night. The #idbuggy is a zero-emissions high-tech vehicle for summer, on the beach or in the city, based on the modular electric drive matrix (MEB). “The #idbuggy demonstrates the broad spectrum of emission-free mobility that can be achieved with the MEB within the #Volkswagen brand. But we want to open up the platform for third-party suppliers”, explains Ralf Brandstätter, COO of the #Volkswagen brand.

 

The parallels between the Californian dune buggies of the sixties and the new #idbuggy are apparent.All beach buggies from back then featured a high degree of modular variability – based on the chassis of the legendary Beetle, with a four-cylinder boxer engine running at the rear. Small series manufacturers stretched a cover made of glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP) over the chassis and engine of the Beetle, thus writing #automotive history. The #idbuggy is tied to this cult #concept with the technical possibilities of the modern age. The basis here is the progressive chassis of the MEB. Integrated in the vehicle floor: a high-voltage battery.

This lithium ion rechargeable battery supplies the electricity for the ID. BUGGY’s 150 kW/204 PS electric drive motor in the rear. An additional electric motor in the front axle is also conceivable in order to realise an all-wheel drive with an “electric propshaft”.

The clear design language expresses the unique experience when driving the buggy. To be able to feel the wind, a fixed roof and doors were deliberately dispensed with. This is why the resilient and minimalist design of the interior is characterised by waterproof materials. The #concept car is a pure 2-seater; however, the #idbuggy can also be converted to a 2+2-seater.
