Nothing
new during this year, Volkswagen
being concentrated on the new 2
liter motorisation launched the
previous year.
|

|
|
|
|
In
1977, Volkswagen proposed an
electric study of the Bus which,
alas, only remained a
project.

Volkswagen,
who study now the Transporter, refuse to
invest more in the Bay-Window Bus, which
appears to reach the end of its career. A
real sign, as from 1979, the Transporter
accounces a new era.

|
|
|
|
In
1979, the new Transporter appears,
launching the third generation of VW
Utility Vans.
