Follow Me Mobility

It’s usual to think that an urban vehicle is used for last mile delivery. The Follow Me mobility concept is designed for postal delivery services by Michael Barthels, who is a German industrial designer. The aim of the concept is to provide greater flexibility in inner city or urban areas distribution.

The rapidly increased internet trade affects affects the increase of traffic for package deliveries. Some of these packages are oversized and cannot fit into the delivery vehicles, which is a safety risk to other road users. The main objective of this project was not only to find solution to this problem but also to develop a delivery vehicle that could adapt to urban conditions.

Important points are the small size of the vehicle and the maximum flexibility of use. A key consideration was to make the operation as simple as possible. Through the open and transparent design of Follow Me mobility concept for postal delivery services, drivers can easily jump on and off this vehicle.

Basically Follow Me mobility concept for postal delivery services is a modular system that can be customized with a wide array of add-ons.

Volkswagen eT!

Volkswagen eT! – the reinvention of the delivery vehicle

• eT! is electrically powered and drives semi-automatically on command

• Driver can steer the eT! by ‘drive stick' from passenger's side as alternative

For over 60 years now, commercial vehicles from Volkswagen have maintained a visual presence on the world's streets. They are helpers in everyday life, which bring us people goods, services, postal deliveries and occasionally emergency assistance as well.


The eT! research vehicle could someday actually revolutionise the world of lightweight commercial vehicles. Completely reconceptualised, driven wîth zero emissions, thought through to the last detail and driving semi-automatically if necessary!

To make the working world of mail delivery personnel and courier drivers simpler and safer, to optimise the logistics of delivery and to shorten delivery times, eT! can be operated semi-automatically in certain situations. The car can follow the delivery person from house to house ('Follow me'), or the car can return to the delivery person on command ('Come to me') – driverless! As an alternative, the driver can direct the car's movements via a ‘drive stick' from the passenger's side that also offers a standing seat and quick access to the vehicle. On the passenger's side – the side that faces the sidewalk and therefore the working area of the delivery person – there is therefore an electrically opening sliding door that opens to 2 different stages; this enables extremely quick entry into the vehicle as well as quick access to the mail parcels. This makes unnecessary walking movements around the vehicle a thing of the past.

Volkswagen Buggy Up!

A buggy is more than just a car; it is an automotive lifestyle feeling. It was born in California in the 1960s and was based on the Beetle, which provided the engine and the chassis. The rest was created by buggy pioneers such as American Bruce Meyers: out of GRP, or glass-reinforced plastics. Buggies have had a cult following that continues to today. That is reason enough for Volkswagen to now present a 21st century buggy concept based on the new up!: the buggy up!. This buggy is not made of GRP, but instead of strong, high-tech, lightweight construction steels. Yet, the conceptual approach for developing the two-seater, as original as it is, still follows the lead of historic models from California.

The designers also made this up! a purebred buggy in its side profile. Of course, it has no doors, but in their place it has extensive body reinforcements and a sturdy roll bar behind the two seats. Especially cool: the open side sills. This makes the experience of open-air driving even more exciting than in a conventional convertible.

As is proper for a beach vehicle, the new interior styling is completely waterproof. Drains in the vehicle floor and the open side sills prevent flooding. Even the neoprene coated shell seats have water drains, so that no water accumulates in the vehicle after a swim in the ocean. If it should rain for a longer period of time, it is possible to stretch a sail between the window frames and the roll bar.

The controls for the infotainment system also sport a waterproof design. Among its features, the system has an iPod/iPhone dock. The entire module can be removed – including the integrated active loudspeakers – so that it can be used as a sound system for parties on the beach.

Compared to the two-door up! the buggy up! has a lower seat position – in keeping wîth the lower vehicle height.
