On June 2, Volkswagen of America will celebrate the second annual International Volkswagen Bus Day, a National Day Calendar-recognized holiday honoring the worldwide love for Volkswagen buses old and new. This celebration follows the inaugural 2023 Bus Day that marked the unveiling of the three-row, all-electric ID. Buzz, while paying homage to our brand’s original Type 2 Microbus. In collaboration with Wrapmate, Volkswagen is using this year’s holiday to announce a custom graphics program available to future ID. Buzz owners. Starting on June 2, 2024, a 3D configurator—launching first in beta—will allow future ID. Buzz customers to begin dreaming up their personalized vehicle design through a premium digital and accessory experience. Through the Wrapmate custom graphics program, Volkswagen will periodically introduce special release offerings designed by artists and VW brand partners. The first of these available designs will be the “Love the Earth” design by Dr. Bob Hieronimus. While working with Volkswagen to recreate his iconic “Light Bus”, Hieronimus learned of the brand’s shift toward electromobility and commitment to working toward a more sustainable future. These values closely align with messages Hieronimus has been communicating through his many decades as an accomplished muralist and art car painter. In the zero direct emissions ID. Buzz, he saw a new canvas to promote the importance of global unity as a pathway to a more loving relationship with Earth. Learn more about the Wrapmate program + a special capsule collection with Dr. Bob here: https://lnkd.in/e65zxMmm Happy International Volkswagen Bus Day! #VW #VWBusDay #IDBuzz #Electromobility

Never buy a VW. My daughters 2019 Tiguan has been sitting at the dealer since December 23, 2023 waiting for an alternator. No on cares at VW. I even contacted the VP of Parts for N.A. and received no satisfactory response. @anugoel Volkswagen of America, Inc
Happy International #VWBusDay! 🚐 🌍 💙 #Buzzlove

4moVolkswagen of America, Inc my son and I are restoring a 1968 Type II Double-Cab (“Doppelkabine”) Pickup Truck with drop sides in either Neptune Blue or Sea Blue. I come from a Volkswagen family - I learned to drive on a 1972 Beetle and the first car I bought (with my own money!) was a 1988 Volkswagen Fox. I was given the Type II by my father after he survived a heart attack last year. It became clear to him that he won’t be able to finish restoring it so he asked my son & I to do it and then promise him a ride in the finished beauty. I think that ride is what he looks forward to most from his bed in rehab! Wouldn’t Volkswagen of America, Inc to sponsor the comeback? Especially given that tomorrow is the second annual International Volkswagen Bus Day! What better way to pay homage?! Perhaps Wrapmate can come up with a drop side-compatible wrap? #VW #VWBusDay
