Germany German auto giant Volkswagen said yesterday it had resumed shipments of its electic minivan ID. Buzz to the United States after a temporary pause due to a technical issue.

“A cargo ship carrying electric ID. Buzz vehicles left the port of Emden (Germany) on Saturday bound for the United States,” Volkswagen commercial vehicles spokesman Tobias Riepe told AFP.

Volkswagen halted exports of the battery-powered camper to North America last week due to a recall by US officials. The rear seats in the vehicle, which is manufactured in the German city of Hanover, were too wide for the automotive authorities in the United States. The latest shipment of minivans would be brought in line with US specifications on arrival before being delivered to dealerships, Riepe said.
