Volkswagen Group plans to unveil the ID Buzz, an electric iteration of its iconic hippie-era microbus, on March 9.
CEO Herbert Diess announced the date in a Twitter post that sketched out the contours of the new design, which draws on the lines of the original model.
VW’s original microbus -- the colorful, bread loaf-shaped van that was a regular sight in the 1960s at music festivals including Woodstock -- has a dedicated fan following.
VW previously said it plans to sell its battery-powered successor in Europe and the U.S.
