Blue
Bandit
My partner in crime
The Blue Bandit, my Volkswagen Golf Variant, took me from the Netherlands to the other side of the world. In 2009, it was converted from an ordinary gasoline car into an electric powerhouse by two forward-thinking energy companies to test V2G technology, all before electric cars became a common sight on the roads.
The journey of the Blue Bandit took an unexpected turn when an employee, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, decided to start Bundles and took one of these modified vehicles with him. With a big heart for sustainability and seeing opportunities, Bundles decided to support me on my epic journey, and the car was later known as the ‘Blue Bandit’.
And so the Blue Bandit became not just my travel companion but also a symbol of sustainable mobility and innovation. Together, we traversed everything from metropoles to unbeaten paths, making the Blue Bandit more than a car: a story of adventure, perseverance and the power of connection.
