Rainer Zietlow’s ID. Buzz World Record Journey Makes A Pit Stop In Singapore

Volkswagen Singapore and Giti Tire are welcoming Rainer Zietlow to Singapore as part of his Guinness World Record attempt to visit the most countries in an EV.

Rainer Zietlow has journeyed through 46 countries over 84 days, covering more than 46,400km in the all-electric Volkswagen ID. Buzz. His expedition celebrates 75 years of the Volkswagen Bus. Having previously set records in a Touareg, Zietlow’s second visit to Singapore offers fans a chance to see the ID. Buzz up close and meet the record-setting driver.

According to Dr. Kurt Leitner, Managing Director of Volkswagen Group Singapore, Volkswagen embodies both innovation and exploration: “The Volkswagen brand is built on engineering excellence and emotional connection — vehicles that are made to move people, both physically and emotionally. The ID. Buzz is a modern revival of the legendary VW Bus, a beloved icon. The ID. Buzz is carrying the same spirit but reimagined for a new generation. Rainer’s mission highlights the performance, reliability, and spirit of exploration that people all around the globe know and love about Volkswagen and our buses.”

The GitiSynergy H2 tires, fitted as standard on the Volkswagen ID. Buzz, are crucial to Zietlow’s record-breaking journey. Engineered for the specific demands of electric vehicles, they deliver low rolling resistance, strong durability and outstanding wet grip - ensuring optimal safety, stability and efficiency across all driving conditions.

Volkswagen Singapore and Giti Tire’s event at Volkswagen Centre Singapore celebrated adventure, innovation and sustainable mobility, giving guests the chance to see Rainer Zietlow, the ID. Buzz, and GitiSynergy H2 tires up close, while highlighting the crucial role of advanced tire technology in his record-breaking electric journey.
