Volkswagen’s strategy
Electrically powered vehicles for all customers
Electric vehicles for everyone. The Volkswagen electric offensive is gaining massive momentum. It is built upon the modular electric drive matrix (MEB), which will be the foundation for numerous new models with very different wheelbases and concepts. The new ID.3 is the pioneer here. Its production started at the beginning of November, and the SUV ID.CROZZ, ID.BUZZ camper van successor and ID.VIZZION saloon are to follow. As soon as 2025, the company is aiming to produce up to 3 million all-electric vehicles every year; by then there will be more than 50 electric vehicles on the market, of which more than 20 will be from the Volkswagen brand. By the end of 2022, more than €30 billion will have been invested, and the joint ventures in China will be investing a further €15 billion over the next few years. The e-up!(((e-up (61
The highlights of the revamped e-up!
Increased range, lower price: Volkswagen presents the next-level e-up! Its new battery means this electrically powered compact vehicle is capable of up to 260 km of range in real driving conditions. The revamped e-up! will arrive at dealerships in Europe in winter, with the price in Germany at just €21,975, from which subsidies are still to be subtracted. Leasing and financing rates, as well as running costs are also extremely low, making the brand’s smallest electric vehicle an attractive entry model to the world of Volkswagen e-mobility. 32.3 kWh usable energy capacity – the new battery. The box looks the same, but what’s inside is completely new, with the battery cells in the revamped e-up! offering a much higher energy density than the previous model. Its gross capacity has been almost doubled, from 18.7 to 36.8 kWh
