JAKARTA - After officially launching at GIIAS Jakarta last July, PT Garuda Mataram Motor (GMM) as Volkswagen (VW) Brand Holder Agent (APM) in Indonesia, brought back The All-Electric ID. Buzz to the city of Surabaya Heroes in The Series.

The All-Electric ID. Buzz defines a new icon of a luxury MPV in Indonesia. Following a model with a capacity of 6 passengers, the All-Electric ID variant. Buzz with a longer wheelbase also has a capacity of 6 passengers with a wider baggage capacity will begin to be marketed in the second week of November this year.

The All-Electric ID. Buzz is Volkswagen's first step in responding to the development of electric cars in Indonesia. We chose this model as the first car to enter the electrification era as well as to show our commitment to work on the BEV market in the country more seriously," said Volkswagen Indonesia Head of Sales Badawi Marhasan, in his official statement, Friday, August 30.

As is known, The All-Electric ID. Buzz is the successor to the Volkswagen microbus generation in Indonesia since the first presence of VW Type 2 (T1) in the 1950s, which was then continued by T2 (Kombi) in the late 1960s to mid-1980s.

Furthermore, the popularity of VW Kombi continues to thicken until Indonesia so that its existence inspires the formation of a community called Volkswagen Van Club in 1981 which continues to take part with hundreds of members who have VW Kombi from various generations to date. The existence of VW Kombi continued in 1992, when Volkswagen T4 or what is known as VW Caravelle was used as an official vehicle at the Summit of Non-Aligned Countries in Indonesia. Along with the course of history, the presence of Volkswagen continues with the presence of Volkswagen generations T5 and T6 and until now, The All-Electric ID. Buzz.

"The All-Electric ID. Buzz adopted various leading technologies that are synonymous with Germany, which is well known as a motor vehicle producing country that has always prioritized high-level security and comfort technology for more than 100 years," he added.

He further said he hoped for the presence of The All-Electric ID. Buzz will later be a testament to Volkswagen's long-term commitment to the automotive market in Indonesia and is the company's support for the government's program to achieve emission-free mobility.
