The ‘eBussy’ Is A Modular EV With Just 20 HP But An Astounding 737 Lb-Ft Of Torque
"The intriguing eBussy is underpinned by an electric platform and is fully modular, meaning it can be transformed from a regular minivan into a tipper truck, a pickup, and various other forms. In fact, there are 10 different body styles that will be offered and the eBussy can be easily converted from left- to right-hand drive, or even center-drive, by simply sliding the steering wheel across the dashboard. This ability to adjust the driving position is due to the fact that the vehicle uses drive-by-wire technology and doesn’t have a steering wheel or pedals that are mechanically connected to the front wheels.
The eBussy will be very affordable, with a basic model priced at just €15,800 ($18,273) including VAT. Prices of course vary depending on the body style selected and whether or not the vehicle is optioned out in off-road guise. The most expensive variant is the eBussy ‘Offroad Camper’ that’s priced at €28,800 ($33,309)."

Love the idea of the sliding steering wheel. Never understood why more manufacturers never adopted it, especially since more more components moved to drive by wire. A variopilot Unimog is always in my dream garage.
