Volkswagen’s Type 147 panel van was mainly built for which state-owned postal service? It was mainly built for the Deutsche Bundespost.

The Deutsche Bundespost, the state-owned postal authority of West Germany, commissioned Volkswagen to develop the compact Type 147 delivery van. Existing vehicles did not meet the postal service’s requirements for urban mail work, so the project called for a purpose-built panel van with roughly two cubic metres of cargo capacity, useful payload, sliding doors, and access from the cab to the load area.

Volkswagen received the commission in 1962, developed prototypes, and began series production in 1964. The vehicle was assembled by Westfalia and used many existing Volkswagen components to control costs. Its Beetle-derived engine, transmission, and axles were paired with body and chassis elements adapted from other Volkswagen products.

Most Type 147s went to the Deutsche Bundespost, but it was not the only customer. The Swiss postal service bought a substantial number of modified examples, while Lufthansa also used some vans for airport apron duties. Those secondary users do not change the main answer: the vehicle was principally developed and built for the West German postal service.
