On Saturday evening, December 17, at 19 p.m., the lavishly decorated vehicles set off from Trammplatz. The specified route led the glittering convoy past the opera house, along Osterstrasse and Karmarschstrasse, around Maschpark and back to Trammplatz. For the first time on a Twinkle Light Cruise, the all-electric ID. Buzz, who has been in the Volkswagen Commercial vehicles (VWN) plant in Hanover is produced.

Buzz at the glitter ride. "The ID Of course, Buzz is not a vintage car, but when the Bulli family goes on a trip, the youngest family member is also part of it.More than 2.000 LEDs lit up on each of the Blinke Bullis. The preparation for each vehicle took around one working day. Twele continues: "The power requirement of the Twinkle Bullis is around 15 watts. This corresponds to the power consumption of a classic rear light bulb."
The Twinkle Light Cruise in Hanover is a privately initiated event. Alexander P. Frank is in the first Bulli, a T2. For the fourth time he is organizing the trip through the city centre.
