The Original - An Icon Among Vans
The Volkswagen Bulli, also known as the VW Bus, is one of the most iconic models in automotive history. Its first generation, the T1, was produced from 1950 to 1967 and laid the foundation for Volkswagen's success story with transporters. Originally designed as a light commercial vehicle, the Bulli quickly became a popular recreational vehicle, especially among surfers and campers. Technically based on the chassis of the Volkswagen Beetle, the T1 was equipped with an air-cooled four-cylinder boxer engine.
Also interesting is the contribution of designer Ben Pon, who significantly contributed to the sketch of the first prototype. The small but powerful boxer engine located in the rear of the vehicle made the T1 not only durable but also easy to repair. With a power of around 25 horsepower and a 4-speed manual transmission, the T1 was well-equipped for its time. The Volkswagen Bulli was also known for its rugged walking stick levers that facilitated operation.

Technical Data and Features of the Original
The Volkswagen Bulli of the T1 generation had some remarkable technical features and innovative ideas for its time. Under the hood was a horizontally placed four-cylinder boxer engine known for its efficiency and durability. The engine was designed to work reliably even under challenging conditions and was easy to maintain. With a wheelbase of 2.4 meters (7.9 feet) and a total length of just over 4 meters (13 feet), the Bulli offered ample space for passengers and cargo.
Another technical detail of the T1 was the suspension and chassis. Equipped with a simple yet effective front axle and a sturdy rear axle, the Bulli offered excellent handling for its class. Popularly dubbed as the "Kombi" despite being officially marketed as a transporter, the T1 was also known for its low fuel consumption, making it economical and practical.
