Volkswagen claims the Gen Travel is all-electric, but no details about the engine have been revealed. Instead, Volkswagen claims that the Gen Travel incorporates Electric Active Body Control, which anticipates the car’s motions and modifies the suspension characteristics to make things as smooth as possible. Volkswagen also claims that the Gen Travel is capable of “platooning,” or traveling in a convoy to boost range – think of it as autonomous hypermiling.
Obviously, the Gen Travel project is not intended for production. This concept just represents Volkswagen’s vision for the future, while the firm states that “particular characteristics may subsequently be converted to series cars.”
