Volkswagen Type 2 er en bilmodell fra Volkswagen som ble lansert i 1950. VW Type 2 Transporter med internnummer 29 ble vist frem for første gang i November 1949. Den aller første masseproduserte Transporteren gikk av rullebåndet på fabrikken 8 Mars i 1950. Den fikk fort navnet folkevognsbuss i Norge.
Historie
The original idea for the T1 van or Volkswagen Type 2 came from the Dutch Volkswagen importer Ben Pon, who drew the first sketches of the van in 1947. At first the aerodynamics of the prototypes were not good but heavy optimization took place in the wind tunnel of the Technical University of Braunschweig. The wind tunnel work paid off, as the Type 2 was aerodynamically superior to the Beetle despite its slab-sided shape. Three years later, under the direction of Volkswagen’s new CEO Heinz Nordhoff, the first production model left the factory at Wolfsburg.
From the debut of “The Transporter” in 1950 to the cessation of production of the second model in 1979, the Volkswagen Bus was a huge worldwide success, the sales figures rose against everyone’s wildest expectations. The popularity of the VW Bus is matched only by the enthusiasm shown for the Beetle.
An intriguing aspect is that Volkswagen historians disagree on what could be the official name of the VW Bus. Nobody doubts the factory designation Type 2, because this was just the secondary vehicle, the Beetle got the code Type 1. Each country has its own pet name for this beautiful car. In Germany it is called ‘Bulli’ in Denmark ‘Rugbrød’ in America and England ‘Transporter’ and in the Netherlands ‘Spijltje’ or ‘Clipper’. Why not? Such a car may have pet names.
