12.3.2019. The Volkswagen group is driving forward a fundamental system change in the individual mobility more and is consistently on the electric drive. The group planned to bring in the next ten years, nearly 70 new E-models on the market – instead of 50 as in the past.
Thus, the number of in the for the next decade, projected E-vehicles to be built on the E-platforms of the group increase, from 15 million to 22 million units. The Expansion of E-mobility is an important building block on the way to the balance sheet of CO2-neutrality. Volkswagen has launched a comprehensive decarbonisation programmes. The group aims to be by 2050, a completely CO2-neutral. That’s enough of the fleet and production through to management. Volkswagen is committed fully to the climate targets of Paris.
Dr. Herbert Diess, member of the Board Chairman of Volkswagen AG, says: “Volkswagen takes on the big topics of the future responsibility, especially when it comes to climate protection. In accordance with the objectives of the Paris climate protection agreement.In the coming years, we are production and other stages of the value chain step-by-step to CO2-neutrality and align. So we make our contribution to limiting global warming. Individual mobility will also be in the future for millions of people is possible, and safe, clean, and connected. To be able To make the necessary investments for the E-Offensive to make, we need to increase our efficiency and our Performance in all areas.“
On the way to complete Decarbonisation by 2050, the Volkswagen group has set in all areas of the milestones to be achieved in the next few years. The actions follow three principles: first, the effective and sustainable reduction of CO2. Secondly, the conversion of the energy supply to renewable energies. Thirdly, the compensation of the unavoidable remaining emissions. To improve the CO2 footprint of the vehicle over the entire life cycle, Volkswagen is already in the supply chains. This is currently being designed and a detailed Roadmap. Particularly in the case of deliveries of steel and aluminum, there is great potential.
By 2025, the CO2 is to be reduced-footprint of the vehicle fleet over the entire life cycle by 30 percent compared to 2015. Accordingly, Volkswagen is to personalize the vehicle Portfolio of electrical and invested for this alone until 2023, more than 30 billion euros. The E-share in the fleet is expected to rise by 2030 to at least 40 percent.
Already this year, the first E-cars of the new Generation in production: the AUDI e-tron
the Porsche Taycan comes to the customer. For both vehicles, reservations of 20,000 units. And with the start-up of the Volkswagen, ID. the electric car is also for broad layers of the population to reach. So, in the first wave of ID follow. CROZZ, the SEAT of el born, the ŠKODA Vision E, the ID. BUZZ2* and the ID. VIZZION

The electric-hedge-Offensive, were selected by the company LG Chem, SKI, CATL and Samsung strategic battery-cell supplier. With a view to the growing demand, Volkswagen is actively considering participation in a own battery cell manufacturing in Europe. So, the solid battery provides a perspective view of great opportunities. Goal is the industrialization of this technology, together with the Partner, quantum Cape.
At the same time is to be reduced by 2025, the CO2 emissions of all plants by 50 percent compared to 2010. For example, the conversion of the power plant, in Wolfsburg, Germany, from coal to Gas will bring, starting in 2023, the annual 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 savings will. The production of Audi in Brussels, for example, runs completely CO2-neutral. The plant in Zwickau is not only the tail unit for the Modular E-drive modular system (MDBs), the produced ID. should the balance sheet be CO2 delivered-neutral to the customer.
The heart of The electric-Offensive from Volkswagen of the MDBs. Through partnerships and a wide distribution of the MEB and the associated economies of scale, the costs of E can be reduced and mobility significantly. Thus, individual mobility affordable in the future for many people. A first example of such a partnership, especially at the Geneva motor show, announced plans for cooperation with the Aachen e. GO Mobile AG.
To further strengthen the electric mobility, Volkswagen and partners from industry up to 2020, with IONITY Europe 400 will load quickly build stations on highways. Of these, around 100 are in Germany. That means that all the 120 km there is a Station. About the new daughter Elli (Electric Life), Volkswagen wants to offer various wall boxes for private Charging at home, and – initially in Germany – a matching-green electricity.
In addition, be furnished at all locations, a total of 3,500 charging points in employee Parking lots, and other retailers.
