A look at the story
The history of the Bullis began in 1947 when the Dutch importer Ben Pon made a sketch of a new car type on the Volkswagen workshop in Wolfsburg. This front steerer -like van with rear engine filled a gap in the market in the post -war period and quickly developed into an indispensable companion in everyday life. It is noteworthy that the first generation of the Bullis was produced until 1967 and covered the needs of craft businesses in the post-war period with variants such as the Samba bus and the ideal.
Special attention is also paid to the other levels of development that are characterized by continuous improvement. The third generation of the van was presented in 1979, followed in 1990 the fourth generation, which was equipped with modern technologies. According to DetailsOrt Wolfsburg, Deutschland Quellen
