It"s traditional for carmakers to celebrate anniversaries with special concepts. And for the 20th birthday of its US development centre its largest outside Germany, no less VW has done just that. Say hello to the Type 20 Concept a 1962 Type 2 11-window Microbus that"s had its internal combustion engine swapped out for some batteries and an electric motor. An electric VW Bus is nothing new. There are loads of companies on both sides of the Atlantic that specialise in such conversions. But this one is direct from the mothership, so it ought to be a bit special.
