The first generation of the Volkswagen Type 2 with the split
windshield, informally called the Microbus, Splitscreen, or
Splittie among modern fans, was produced from 8 March 1950 through
the end of the 1967 model year. From 1950 to 1956, the T1 (not
called that at the time) was built in Wolfsburg; from 1956, it was
built at the completely new Transporter factory in Hanover. Like
the Beetle, the first Transporters used the 1100 Volkswagen
air-cooled engine, an 1,131 cc (69.0 cu in), DIN-rated 18 kW (24
PS; 24 bhp), air-cooled flat-four-cylinder 'boxer' engine mounted
in the rear. This was upgraded to the 1200 - an 1,192 cc (72.7 cu
in) 22 kW (30 PS; 30 bhp) in 1953. A higher compression ratio
became standard in 1955; while an unusual early version of the 30
kW (41 PS; 40 bhp) engine debuted exclusively on the Type 2 in
1959. Any 1959 models that retain that early engine today are rare.
Since the engine was discontinued almost immediately, no spare
parts were made available.
