Germany: A Volkswagen Plattenwagen or 'Platform Truck', c. 1948

The Volkswagen Plattenwagen was never sold to the public, and was used only by the Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg as a parts runabout. When Dutch Volkswagen importer Ben Pon visited the Wolfsburg factory in 1947, he spotted a Plattenwagen based on the Volkswagen Beetle. This gave him the idea for a Volkswagen commercial vehicle which would become the future Volkswagen Transporter.
