Investing billions in e-mobility

Delivery of the 30,000 models making up the limited 1^st Edition of the ID. 3 commences in September, when it will take to the road in most European countries. nder its electric offensive, the Volkswagen brand is planning to offer electric vehicles in all of the main vehicle segments by 2022. Volkswagen is seeking to become the world market leader in e-mobility over the coming years and is therefore investing €33 billion throughout the Group up to 2024, €11 billion of which is earmarked for the Volkswagen brand alone. For 2025, the Volkswagen brand expects to produce 1.5 million electric cars. The long-term goal – by 2050 – is full decarbonization of the fleet.

As the first Volkswagen site, the Zwickau factory has been converted into Europe’s largest and most efficient electric car plant and plays a groundbreaking role in the transformation of Volkswagen’s global production network. Apart from production at the Zwickau plant, and also in Dresden from 2021, the Components plants in Brunswick, Kassel, Salzgitter and Wolfsburg also supply parts for the ID.3, delivering key components such as the electric drives or the battery systems. The vehicle plants in Emden and Hanover are also undergoing conversion and are scheduled to begin building electric cars from 2022.

Production of the next model from the ID. family, the first all-electric SUV ID.4, will commence in Zwickau this year. Like the ID.3, the ID.4 will also be produced with a neutral CO₂ balance and will therefore be handed over to customers with a climate-neutral footprint.
