Volkswagen accelerates e-mobility for the masses
08 Oct 2018|1,030 views
Individual mobility is on the threshold of a new era: Electric drivetrains and digitalisation are set to bring about the most fundamental change the car industry has ever seen. The sales volume of battery-electric cars rose by 60% in the past year and 2018 could be the first year that newly registered electric cars reach the one-million mark - a target Volkswagen hopes to hit with the global I.D. family by 2025.
Globally, more than six million new Volkswagen vehicles roll out of production plants and onto the road each year.
The brand's scale helps make technical innovations affordable for the masses - and it will be no different for the electric vehicles in the new I.D. family. Volkswagen's aim is to make electric cars attractive to as many people as possible, thus paving the way to mass electric mobility.
"The I.D. will prove to be a milestone in terms of technological development," says Christian Senger, Head of the Volkswagen E-Mobility product line. "It will be the first fully interconnected electric vehicle that is 100% suitable for day-to-day use, and millions of people will be able to afford it."
With the I.D., the I.D. Crozz, the I.D. Buzz and the I.D. Vizzion, Volkswagen has already presented four concepts. The development of the vehicle technology is virtually complete, as are the designs of the various models. Contracts with the battery suppliers have been signed.
Volkswagen is investing more than one billion euros to prepare its plant in Zwickau for the production of MEB vehicles. The company is also committing itself to developing a comprehensive charging infrastructure. In short, Volkswagen's e-mobility offensive is taking shape on all fronts.
