Volkswagen representatives have denied any rumors that suggest the forthcoming ID. Buzz California camper van exceeds the weight limit for a standard European driving license. This comes after a report last week claimed that weight caused a delay in the model’s rollout.
In a statement to Carscoops, Volkswagen USA spokesperson Mark Gillies said, “Stories that the project is appreciably delayed […] are incorrect.” Reports out of Europe initially suggested that when loaded up with luggage and passengers, the ID. Buzz camper van would weigh more than the 7,700-pound maximum limit.
German publication Edison claimed this had caused a delay in the development process, with VW reportedly having to look at new ways to save weight. However, VW representatives have quashed these rumors. It would be interesting to see just how heavy the camper variant would be, as the standard ID. Buzz is a heavy fella, tipping the scales at around 5,500 lbs (for the short-wheelbase model).
