	Volkswagen Microbus Concept Press Release
		This independence is demonstrated on the Microbus by the particularly thin-line xenon headlights with the typical clear glass optics.
		The Microbus can, for example, be transformed into a veritable car cinema: The appropriate visual images are provided by a seven-inch screen in 16:9 format in the centre console, four large monitors in the backrests of the first and second rows as well as two extendable displays between the second and third rows.
		The technology of the Microbus is not based on any of the Volkswagens currently on offer; the floor assembly, for example, corresponds to that of a future vehicle generation.

	Concept car: Volkswagen Microbus concept

		Microbus, on the other hand, will prompt droves of people to ditch the airport for a cross-country road trip in a VW van.
		The Microbus is significantly more powerful that the current 201-horse EuroVan â” power comes from a larger 3.2-liter V6 engine that churns out 230 horsepower and 236 foot-pounds of torque (much better for light towing than the EuroVan's 180 ft-lbs) and directs power to the front wheels.
		And the concept van's distinctive rewriting of the old buses should appeal to those who haven't yet had the opportunity to pack their liberal sensibilities into a VW van for a camping trip and to families who have tired of showing up at the mall in a Ford Explorer or Toyota Sienna.

		It seems there are a lot of people that favor the plethora of blasts to our automotive past we've experienced lately, with easily as many up in arms over the lack of "original new ideas", or at least that's their argument.
		The Microbus could put the German automaker on the minivan consumer radar for a few years at least, at which time there would be a busload - excuse the pun - of happy Volkswagen van owners ready to upgrade to the next, slightly more contemporary version.
		While Volkswagen doesn't make a rear driveline suitable for the new Microbus, questionably better for handling, FWD is optimal for a flat loading floor.

		If you don't wish to use the velcro, 4 mounting holes for screws are in the microbus, but you'll have to provide your own standoffs so the surface the microbus is attached to won't have the potential to short out circuits on the microbus.

	Pesero - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Due to the lack of government investment in public transport, the demand made them a very good business, and while the owners did keep up with demand by adding more units and routes, particularly in newly developing parts of the city such as Nezahualcóyotl, they did so without much order or regulation.
		However, due to poor regulation, corruption and uncontrolled growth, they have also become a problem, causing pollution and traffic congestion and being a source of insecurity and accidents due to lack of operator training and unit maintenance.
		The government is seeking ways to regulate microbus operation, such as reducing the number of units or replace them with full-size diesel powered buses which are more efficient and carry more passengers per unit.
