It wasn’t long ago that the Volkswagen BUDD-e was revealed as the future of VW. There was a wide range of opinions on the look and philosophy of this SUV-minivan-electric car mash-up. Well, it seems that the critics have voiced their opinions in favor of the concept vehicle because they named it the “2016 Concept Truck of the Year” at the recent North American Concept Vehicle of the Year Awards.

The Director of Product Marketing at Volkswagen of America, Dr. Hendrik Muth, commented: “We are thrilled that the BUDD-e has been honored as 2016 Concept Truck of the Year and would like to thank the panel of judges for recognizing Volkswagen’s innovation. We are determined to lead the future of automotive design, and BUDD-e shows the capabilities of our all-new electric vehicle architecture and further advances connectivity and infotainment.”

The BUDD-e also won the “Interior Design of the Year Award” at the recent Automotive Interiors Expo 2016 show.
