Volkswagen camper bus with no steering wheel designed in 1955 to meet the need for compact service vehicles that provide railway maintenance.

Instead of creating new vehicle from scratch, the solution was to adapt the versatile Volkswagen Transporter to a rail chassis.

1955 Klv-20 rail bus, a rare “barndoor” Bulli, was created for the Deutsche Bundesbahn’s service needs.

VW Bus on rails allowed for efficient inspection and repair trips on the railways, showcasing Volkswagen’s great engineering.

By combining a T1 Kombi body with a rail chassis, the Klv-20 features efficient 21 kW engine and unique hydraulic lifting mechanism.

Volkswagen Train merges the functionality of a rail vehicle with the familiar design and reliability of the VW Bulli.

Originally used for rail maintenance, this quirky vehicle has been lovingly restored by Volkswagen’s Classic Vehicles department​.

Volkswagen Bus Train is a retro marvel that brings the iconic Bulli to the rails.

Rarity, vintage charm, and the nostalgic appeal of seeing a VW bus cruising on tracks make it a must-see for vehicle and train fans.

The Klv-20: A 1955 Volkswagen Bulli transformed into a rail bus is now part of VW’s Classic Vehicles collection.
