Volkswagen T1 (2026) The Volkswagen (T1)—popularly known as the Microbus, Transporter, or Splitscreen "Splitty" Bus—is one of the most recognizable and culturally significant vehicles in history. Originally conceived as a simple postwar utilitarian workhorse, it ultimately evolved into a global symbol of the 1960s counterculture movement, freedom, and nomadic travel.
