Volkswagen is making the ID range. 100% electric range even more sustainable, not least through the choice of interior materials. Later this year, the ID.3, ID.4, ID.5 and ID.7 will receive some innovations that were first used in series production of the ID. Buzz. Volkswagen already uses a large number of new materials in the ID. Buzz and these will be progressively introduced in the other models of the ID family. For example, alternative materials made of plastic recovered from the oceans or old PET bottles (63 500 ml bottles to be exact) are used in many areas inside the Volkswagen ID.Buzz. The outer seat cover material is made of Seaqual® yarn, which consists of 10% recovered marine microplastics and 90% recycled PES yarn.
This saves 32 per cent of CO2 emissions compared to conventional materials. In seat covers with ArtVelours Eco®, the share of recycled materials is 71%. In addition, the headliner and floor surfaces in the ID. Buzz are made entirely of recycled polyester. Recycled plastic is also found in the insulating layer of the floor. The same applies to components such as the underbody cladding and wheel arches. In addition, Volkswagen no longer uses chrome for the inserts on the doors, dashboard and steering wheel clip of the ID. Buzz because the production of chrome harms the environment. Chrome has been replaced by a liquid paint with a chrome effect that has a bio-based binder. Some of these innovations from ID. Buzz will now be introduced in ID.3, ID.4, ID.5 and ID.7.
