Own battery cell production currently being established

Volkswagen Group creates European company for its battery business

Volkswagen is demonstrating what the sustainable and climate-friendly future of mobility can look like with the planned six European factories for battery cell production. With scheduled completion by 2030, these will be able to supply battery cells with a total energy content of 240 gigawatt-hours (GWh) each year. The locations include the Skellefteå plant (Sweden) of partner Northvolt in Sweden, which will start production in 2023. At the Salzgitter site, the Volkswagen Group laid the foundation stone for its first own factory in 2022. It is planned to produce the new unified cells for the volume segment here from 2025 onwards. After Salzgitter, the next cell factory will be built in Sagunto, near Valencia (Spain).

The specified fuel consumption and emission data are determined in accordance with the measurement procedures prescribed by law. 1 January 2022, the WLTP test cycle completely replaced the NEDC test cycle and therefore no NEDC values are available for new type approved vehicles after that date.

This information does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.

Due to more realistic testing conditions, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to WLTP will in many cases be higher than the values measured according to NEDC. As a result, the taxation of vehicles may change accordingly as of 1 September 2018. For further information on the differences between WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.volkswagen.de/wltp.

Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.
