Last Volkswagen camper vans are made in Brazil – in pictures
Volkswagen will finally stop producing the Kombi camper van in the last plant to manufacture it in Brazil this month. An event was held in São Bernardo do Campo celebrating the last days of the minibus after 62 years
Higher manufacturing costs and an increase in production time due to new auto regulations, which will require anti-lock brake systems and air bags in all cars produced in Brazil from 2014, contributed to its decision to stop production
Volkswagen produced more than 1.5m of the vehicles worldwide
