VOLKSWAGEN is bringing back the iconic T1 Camper Van in 2022, but the new model will be an electric, self-driving version called the I.D Buzz.

Volkswagen is bringing back its iconic T1 camper van back in 2022 – but not quite how you’d imagine. 

As part of VW’s new I.D electric car range they are manufacturing the Buzz, a microbus concept, which is based on the famous T1, T2 and T3 Campers "hippy mobile".

VW I.D Buzz was unveiled earlier this year, but now it has been confirmed the vehicle will enter production in 2022. 

The I.D Buzz will both be electric-powered and have a degree of autonomy.

 Whether the car will be fully autonomous by 2022 or just have certain self-driving features has not been confirmed.

Electric car brand Rimac Automobili teases new supercar

Following on from the Rimac Concept One, the new hypercar is a game changer, says Rimac.

Croatian electric supercar maker Rimac has given us the first indication of the shape its second generation hypercar will take when it arrives as the follow-up of the Concept One.

Rimac has given us little more than a dark silhouette to work with but we can see from the teaser that the new car is still obviously a supercar in form, featuring a recognisable mid-engined car shape and aggressive aero. Unlike the sleek Concept One, the first thing we can see is a rear wing and deeper front splitter. Looking closely at the image, it is also possible to see production car-like mirrors, usually a tell-tale sign of whether a car being shown is a concept or production car.

Mini is making big moves in the electric car world and is introducing a fully-electric concept vehicle sporting the automaker's signature look with a few next-gen flourishes. 

The new EV design, which is called the Mini Electric Concept (at least for the time being), was unveiled at the IAA Cars 2017 event in Munich. The small car is designed for short city drives, according to the copmany, and is meant to offer a new zero-emissions option for urban dwellers.

Mini's parent company BMW Group aims to put the Concept design on the road in 2019, joining industry rivals like Tesla and GM with more accessible EV options for the driving public. The new design is the first truly all-electric car from Mini meant for mass production, although the automaker does offer electrified versions of a few of its current models.

A New Vehicle Has More Energy Capacity Than a Tesla and More Torque Than a Tank

GOING OFF-ROAD 

With sedans, SUVs, semi trucks, and even buses being converted to run on electricity, it was only matter of time before off-road vehicles were given the same treatment. In this particular case,  however, it’s an off-road vehicle with capabilities that outmatch most EVs in production and even some heavy-duty tanks.

Enter the Nikola Zero UTV (utility task vehicles) from Nikola Powersports, a vehicle that enables drivers to take their trip off-road and drive for miles without the harmful carbon dioxide emissions.

The Nikola Zero has a base price of $35,000 and currently has two models: one that has 415 horsepower and another with 555 horsepower. Both models can be equipped with a 75 kWh, 100 kWh or 125 kWh battery pack, with the final option enabling the vehicle to travel nearly 321 km (200 miles) on a single charge. Even the lesser battery capacity will still allow for a range beyond 160 km (100 miles).
