The Legend of the Volkswagen T1
The Volkswagen T1 is an iconic vehicle that was first produced in 1950 and ran in various versions until 1967. The original design of this vehicle comes from Ben Pon, a Dutch importer who, inspired by the uncomplicated transport vehicles on the Volkswagen factory grounds, developed the concept for a compact and versatile transporter. The T1, often affectionately called the "Bulli," stands out for its distinctive appearance and robust construction. Interestingly, the T1 was the second model produced by Volkswagen after the famous Beetle. The Volkswagen T1 was a trailblazer in the light commercial vehicles segment and set standards for the following generations.
Technical Data and Special Features of the Volkswagen T1
The Volkswagen T1 was offered in various versions, including panel van, kombi, and special editions like the Samba Bus with its large windows and panoramic roof. The T1 was powered by an air-cooled four-cylinder boxer engine, which in different versions delivered a power output of 24 to 34 horsepower. Technical features included the robust ladder frame construction, making the T1 particularly durable. Additionally, the engine was located in the rear, contributing to better weight distribution and driving stability. The top speed ranged from about 50 to 62 mph, which was remarkable for that time.
