Volkswagen's Electrification Manufacturing Plans Continue To Take Shape With ID.Buzz Components

Volkswagen’s electrification manufacturing plans have taken another step forward. Certain parts for the ID. Buzz van has entered production at German plants that are now capable of producing parts for the manufacturer’s electrified vehicles.

At manufacturing plants located all over Germany, factories have started to churn out pieces for the upcoming EV van, all over the country. These factories are producing parts like brake system components, electric drive motors, front axles, rear axles, struts, and lots of other things that comprise Volkswagen’s new electric van.

This is part of VW’s plan to electrify its manufacturing plants, namely its German locations, with the goal of becoming an EV supplier powerhouse by 2026. Volkswagen says that “The German locations are pacesetters of the global roll-out at our locations in Europe, China, and the United States.” Eventually, when the Hannover plant is fully switched over to producing electric components, it will produce traction batteries for the ID. Buzz as well.

Also, as reported by InsideEVs, the VW Hannover plant is aimed to produce more than 130,000 ID Buzz vans by 2024, with other plants slowly ramping up the van’s production. InsideEVs cites VW’s 120,000 sales target and insists that VWs claim that the ID. Buzz will sell under 100,000 units, which means that the U.S. will be the prime market for the ID. Buzz.

As of right now, Volkswagen has some manufacturing ability for the ID. Buzz. Examples of the retro-inspired EV van have begun to trickle out of factories and will reach European customers’ hands by the Fall of 2023.
