Volkswagen BUDD-e Microbus

We have seen the future of electric minibuses, and it’s the Volkswagen BUDD-e. This futuristic, all-electric vehicle boasts a modular architecture that features a 101 kWh battery hidden within the floor, an electric motor up front, and another in the rear. A quick-charge system enables the battery to be charged to 80% capacity in a mere 15-minutes. You can also use its electric drive system to power other items, such as controlling a smart home, or even running an interactive smart office setup.

“All of the vehicle’s systems are operated intuitively by gesture control, touchscreen (displays and touch slider) or voice control. The driver can choose between various intuitive control modes (multi-modal interaction). For example, a simple ‘Hello BUDD-e’ activates the vehicle’s voice control. The system also offers completely natural speech interaction. For example, if the driver asks ‘turn the heat up a bit, please,’ the car will respond immediately and appropriately,” reports Diseno-Art.
