The first model in the I.D. family, the Volkswagen I.D., is to be launched in 2020. This is to be followed at short intervals by other models including an electric SUV – the I.D. CROZZ – and the I.D. BUZZ, the bus of the future. With the I.D. VIZZION, Volkswagen gave a glimpse of the future flagship of the I.D. family only a few days ago. The study highlights the considerable potential of the MEB., In addition to the vehicles themselves, Volkswagen is also developing a comprehensive ecosystem from the charging point via green power to digital services. This will make the changeover to an electric car as simple and attractive as possible. "The strong demand for the Golf shows that the electric car is increasingly making a breakthrough. When the technology and the price are right, customers are ready to change over. With the I.D. family, we will take the lead in the electric movement," says Diess. Outlook for 2018: deliveries, sales revenue and result to improve still further Volkswagen made a good start in the 2018 financial year. In January and February, the brand delivered more than 940,000 vehicles throughout the world, outperforming the figure for the first two months of 2017 by 6.5 percent. Especially on the brand's domestic market of Germany, there was again a marked upward trend, with a rise of 13.3 percent in deliveries. Over the rest of the year, the Volkswagen brand intends to continue the upward trend and further improve deliveries, sales revenue and the result. The SUV offensive will be further intensified, with highlights including the launch of the new Touareg. At the end of 2018, Volkswagen will enter an entirely new segment with the T-Cross. In addition, the brand plans to launch four new SUVs especially for the Chinese market this year. The brand will continue to work on profitability this year. With the measures agreed under the Zukunftspakt, productivity at the German sites is to increase by a further 7.5 percent.
