Buzz electric minibus ahead of its world premiere scheduled for March 9th.

The latest taste comes in the form of a video posted by the automaker’s commercial vehicle branch Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge.

As we finally start to get rolling in 2022, we can already look back on five years of progress since Volkswagen first unveiled the electrified generation of its famed minibus back in Detroit in 2017.

Buzz.

Since then, we’ve covered several teaser images featuring a chartreuse prototype, demonstrating a new, zero-emissions era of “van life.”

Buzz will take place on March 9th.
