Volkswagen ID Buzz Cargo has been named "International Van Of The Year 2023" (IVOTY). Carsten Intra, Managing Director of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (VWCV), accepted the prize at the IAA in Hannover from Jarlath Sweeney, Chairman of IVOTY.
The Volkswagen ID Buzz Cargo received this prestigious international prize even before the market launch, which will take place in January. "We are thrilled and proud to accept this prize for ID Buzz Cargo," Carsten Intra remarked during the award presentation. Thank you so much to the IVOTY jury and everyone at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles who helped make the ID Buzz Cargo the best electric van in its class."
"It's not often that a completely new electric van concept arrives and generates so much market attention," said IVOTY Chairman Jarlath Sweeney on behalf of the 34 worldwide commercial vehicle journalists who make up the IVOTY jury. Congratulations to the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles development team for creating this one-of-a-kind vehicle ideal for the eco-conscious urban business operator."
"Being named "International Van of the Year 2023" is the frosting on the cake." We were fortunate to have Copenhagen as the host city for the international presentation of ID Buzz and Buzz Cargo which has generated tremendous interest in the idea. Our dealers and we have never seen such enthusiasm for a new model, and its appeal is more significant than any previous model in our lineup. We have a one-of-a-kind product with its charismatic design, efficient electric powertrain, and 100% digital and linked cockpit. Volkswagen ID Buzz and ID Buzz Cargo commercial vans have significantly contributed to business fleets' electric conversion. We hope to introduce it in January 2023."

The Volkswagen ID Buzz Cargo is the fourth member of Volkswagen's electric ID family and the first Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles model designed from the ground up as an electric vehicle.
