volkswagen combi Modèle 3D

the volkswagen type 2 (aka transporter) was the second automotive line introduced by german automaker volkswagen. it was a van introduced in 1950, initially based on volkswagen's first model, the type 1, also known as the "beetle". the type 2 is generally considered to be the forerunner of modern cargo and passenger vans. the type 2 spawned a number of imitators both in the united states, dodge a100 and the chevrolet corvan, the last even adopting the type 2's rear-engine configuration. updated versions of this line are still being actively produced in international markets, both as a passenger and cargo van and as a pickup truck.

during the hippie era in the united states, the bus became a major counterculture symbol. there were several reasons: the van could carry a number of people plus camping gear and cooking supplies, extra clothing, do-it-yourself carpenter's tools, etc. as a "statement", its boxy, utilitarian shape made the type 2 everything the american cars of the day were not. used models were incredibly cheap to buy — many were hand-painted (a predecessor of the modern-day art car). some bus enthusiasts (especially for antiwar activists) would replace the vw logo with a painted peace symbol up front. since that time, however, the original 1950–1967 type 2 (primarily the pre-1956 barn-doors) has become a highly sought after collector's item.

in various countries the vehicle has different nicknames, bulli in germany, p?o-de-forma (breadloaf) in portuguese, kleinbus (mini-bus) in finnland and various versions of hippie-mobile in the us, but the official name is kombi (kombinationskraftwagen, "combined-use vehicle") or combi in english.

the vehicle is used as a taxi in africa and south america, and as an ambulance in the middle east, and has been used by the un and various military forces as a cheap troop transport, and has also been adapted to company or school bus use, as well as finding favour as a transporter for elderly or disabled hospital patients.
