Vehicle description
As one of the forerunners of the modern cargo and passenger vans, the Type 2 gave rise to forward control competitors in the United States in the 1960s, including the Ford Econoline , the Dodge A100 , and the Chevrolet Corvair 95 Corvan , the latter adapting the rear-engine configuration of the Corvair car in the same manner in which the VW Type 2 adapted the Type 1 layout. European competition included the 1947–1981 Citroën H Van , the 1959–1980 Renault Estafette (both FF layout ), and the 1953–1965 FR layout Ford Transit . Japanese manufacturers also introduced similar vehicles, such as the Nissan Caravan , Toyota LiteAce and Subaru Sambar . Like the Beetle, the van has received numerous nicknames worldwide, including the "microbus", "minibus", [3] and, because of its popularity during the counterculture movement of the 1960s , "Hippie van/bus" has become its most popular.
