The new Volkswagen Kombi, the T7, the fourth generation of the multivan, is a bit closer today. The new Bulli will be introduced in mid-next month and will be completely renewed inside and out, adopting the MQB modular platform from the Golf eHybrid/GTE, the Skoda Octavia iV, or the Audi A3 E-Tron.

The beloved Volkswagen Kombi will have a greater wheelbase compared to the T6.1 model. The new sketches also show that it will have very wide windows, including in the A-pillar area, both to improve visibility and to remind us of the classic T1 Kombi from 1950, which remained in production until 1975 here in Brazil.

Volkswagen, the World’s Largest Vehicle Manufacturer, Stops Developing and Manufacturing Gasoline and Diesel Engines to Focus on Electric Cars

The multinational Audi, part of the Volkswagen Group, had already recently announced that it would no longer develop any combustion engines and that the automaker’s focus would be on manufacturing electric cars. Now, the chief of the German brand has confirmed the end of development and manufacturing of this type of engine, whether gasoline or diesel.

According to Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of Volkswagen, in an interview with Automobilwoche, the German automaker will continue only updating and reviewing the current gasoline and diesel combustion engines to make them more efficient. The reason for this measure is that the multinational will heavily invest in the manufacture and production of electric cars.

The executive did not specify how long we will still see gasoline and diesel engines in Volkswagen cars, but it seems that they should remain for the next 10 years.
