Electric and multifunctional

At Tonke we believe in an emission-free future! And that is why we are going to introduce even more electric platforms in addition to the Tonke EQV, Dutch Campervan of the Year 2023. Building on this success, we are announcing the arrival of the Tonke Buzz, which will be built on the basis of the Volkswagen ID. Buzz.

Volkswagen ID.Buzz as the basis for the Tonke camper

Tonke has eagerly awaited the availability of a full electric platform from Volkswagen. Now that Volkswagen has announced that it will start selling the ID. Buzz long-wheelbase (LWB) in early 2024, the time has come!

Tonke is busy putting the finishing touches to the design of the Tonke Buzz. We will be presenting a very innovative and versatile vehicle that is ready for the future. This electric van is not only very suitable as a camper, but also as a car for daily traffic and office-on-wheels.

Unique Specs ID. Buzz Long Wheelbase:

The Volkswagen ID. Buzz long wheelbase (LWB) is perfect as the basis of the Tonke Buzz, especially because of the unique specifications compared to the ID. Buzz short wheelbase (based on provided information on 02-06-2023):

• 4.96 m length
  With a length of 4.96 m, the LWB is the perfect length to provide all comforts in terms of camper facilities, but at the same time nice and compact for (daily) use in the city.
• Energy efficient heat pump
  Due to the presence of a heat pump in the LWB, heating in winter is much less at the expense of the range than with a normal electric heating which is standard in the short wheelbase ID. Buzz. The energy-efficient heat pump can also be used for stationary heating and cooling.
• Infotainment system
  The LWB gets a much improved infotainment system compared to the short wheelbase ID. Buzz.
• Wider range
  The 25 cm extra length compared to the short wheelbase also offers space for a larger battery pack. Instead of 77 kWh, the LWB has an 86 kWh battery pack. This ensures a realistic range of about 400 km! The LWB can be charged quickly with 170 kW direct current.
• Strong electric motor
  There will also be a newer stronger electric motor available for the LWB (210 kW/286 hp) that drives the rear wheels. Top speed 160 km/h and torque Nm 550.
• Four wheel drive
  Optionally, a four-wheel drive version will be available.

VW ID. Buzz available in showroom

We regularly get asked where the Mercedes-Benz EQV and the Volkswagen ID. Buzz differ from each other. Of course, we are perfectly capable of explaining this to you, but it is better to experience both vehicles for yourself! That’s why we have both the Mercedes-Benz EQV and the short Volkswagen ID.Buzz* in our showroom. We will be happy to show you the pros and cons of the vehicles. Schedule your appointment online.

*The Volkswagen ID. Buzz is a standard vehicle, so no camper interior has been fitted yet.
