Volkswagen AG has launched a new concept called Budd-e at the 2016 annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. The model is based on the automaker's new Modular Electric Platform. It features a completely flat 101-kWh battery pack that stretches almost the entire length of the vehicle's floor and provides a 373-mile driving range without impinging on the spacious cabin that owners require in a van.

The vehicle is equipped with an electric motor mounted over each axle, and the van has a top speed of 93 mph. It features a heritage-inspired design with styling cues from classic rear-engine Volkswagen vans.
