Volkswagen BUDD-e Electric Vehicle Concept Unveiled At CES

Making its official debut after a series of teaser images, the Volkswagen BUDD-e compact people mover gives a strong clue at what the company expects from its own electric future.

In keeping with the high-tech theme that flows through the Consumer Electronics Show, where the BUDD-e was revealed, the concept offers an array of high tech features including smart networking with the home, gesture control, and of course, its zero-emissions electric powertrain.

Designed to offer the best use of interior space in a compact footprint, the BUDD-e adopts a minivan shape that allows for lounge-like interior featuring a two seat bench in the rear and swivelling front seats to create an interactive space.
