The Long, Strange Trip of the VW Bus

WV Bulli

THE BUS MIGHT MAKE A COMEBACK
Well, kind of. At the 2011 Geneva Auto Show, Volkswagen engineers showed off a battery-operated concept of a new VW Bus called the VW Bulli. Although the suits at VW cautioned then that it was a “big maybe,”  if the Bulli is ever produced, it would be smaller than its predecessor and far more environmentally friendly (the electric version would use a 40-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack that can go 186 miles per charge).
