. The vehicle is made entirely of flat slabs of design but has modern features like LED headlights and LED running lights. 

"The eT! transfers E-mobility to the area of commercial use and is a building block for an innovative logistics concept for the future.  Naturally, it is not a vehicle which could become available very soon, but we must make plans today for what the world of lightweight commercial vehicles might look like in the second half of this decade," said Dr. Rudolf Krebs, manager of electric vehicles at VW AG.

As Dr. Krebs said, the eT! is still just a concept, and the technology in it is not ready for production. The design however could see its way into future models. Volkswagen will reveal more about the car during its press conference on September 17.
