"The same van will also be launched in the United States by the end of 2023," the German automaker said in a statement.

The van is made in Hanover, Germany, with modules mostly supplied by Volkswagen Group Components in Germany as well. The vehicle uses an 82 kWh lithium-ion battery and can reach a maximum speed of 90 miles (145km) per hour.

Sources at the company also stated that another version of the vehicle equipped with a battery offering different power outputs will follow next year.

This car is designed with a contemporary spirit, which is economical and environmentally friendly, but still maintains the exotic style of the legendary VW Combi.
