In an announcement that is equal parts unexpected and completely awesome, Volkswagen is designing an all-electric version of the iconic Bus that first debuted in the 60s.

The push toward electric vehicles is a trend all car makers are facing, and adding a nostalgic influence bridges the times between iconic automobiles and responsible construction for our future.

It’s slated to hit the market in early 2022, and the announcement came with a statement from Dr. Herbert Diess, VW’s Chairman of the Board, saying, “Our goal is clear: we want to make the fully electric, fully connected car a bestseller around the world. The iconic car of the electric age must be a Volkswagen.”
