The Type 2 Panel vans design was credited to Dutch Volkswagen importer Ben Pon and dates back to drawings he made on a visit to Wolfsburg in 1946. However production had wait as the factory was at capacity building the Volkswagen Type 1 (Beetle). Available in numerous guises the Type 2 came as a Panel Van, Pick Up truck, Bus and Camper van of numerous types
The second generation of the Type 2 the T2 was introduced in 1969. The T2 lost the split screen of the T1 and is slightly larger and is heavier than the earlier T1. At 1.6 L and 35 kW (48 PS; 47 bhp) DIN, the engine was also slightly larger. The new model also did away with the swing axle rear suspension and transfer boxes previously used to raise ride height.
A mid-life face lift updated it to a T2b introducing rounded bumpers and doing away with the step ahead of the front wheel.

In 1972, for the 1973 model year, exterior revisions included relocated front turn indicators, squared off and set higher in the valance, above the headlights. Also, square-profiled bumpers, which became standard until the end of the T2 in 1979, were introduced in 1973 with a compressible structure behind the front bumpers, in order to comply with new US safety regulations

Production of the T2 ceased in Europe and USA in 1979. Not produced in Mexico until 1971 production continued until 1996. Brazilian production commenced in 1976 and is still current, and Argentinian production spanned 1981-86
