Volkswagen Group is taking a big leap into China's “Intelligent Connected Vehicle” (ICV) era. And the next three years will see a huge expansion of our offer to Chinese customers. China is a large, dynamic market with which clearly transforms towards electric mobility. However, the pace of this transformation varies across China. While more than 50 per cent of cars sold in Tier 1 cities will already be BEVs or hybrids this year, lower tier cities are only expected to reach this level around the end of the decade. That means our customers will have very diverse mobility needs in the years to come. We're ready to meet them together with our strong Joint Venture Partners SAIC Motor, FAW and JAC through our strong product roadmap. The ambitious target we have set: 40 new models by 2027, half of which will be electrified! We’ll achieve this by consolidating our strong combustion (ICE) market position while significantly accelerating our electrification offensive. Here’s how: 🚘 ⚡️ All our ICE bestsellers will get their new generations. Furthermore, our strong ICE portfolio will be gradually hybridized and transformed into an electrified fleet. And upgraded with advanced tech to make them just as smart as BEVs. 🚘 🔋 Our new e-car range will include at a bunch of additional China-exclusive models based on locally developed “China Main Platform”. As well as models jointly developed with the Chinese automakers XPENG. These models will complement our products on global platforms. By 2030, our Group will offer more than 30 all-electric models in China. 🇨🇳 📱 We will upgrade our global e-electric platforms with state of the art China-specific technologies from partners like Gotion (batteries), Horizon Robotics (ADAS) and ThunderSoft (infotainment). The result: Our expanded portfolio will be specifically tailored to the needs of Chinese customers and will cover all relevant segments, further strengthening our market position. 💪🏼 Building on strong foundations and with our ‘In China, for China’ approach as our guide, we’re driving our transformation at ‘China speed’.

This strategic focus not only strengthens VW's position, but also drives the mobility transition in general. In Germany, it is primarily taking place in a commercial context, which requires a holistic and customized solution. LIBREO® GmbH is ready to support.

Ich hoffe ihr vergesst nicht auch die Software fuer die aktuellen ID Modelle mit zu ueberholen!!! Als Fahrer eines ID.6 FIRST ist die Software eine echte Zumutung und ohne Apple Car Pay (was auf dem Display immer noch ausschaut wie ein iPad der ersten Generation) haette ich das Auto gleich nach einer Woche zurueck gegeben.. BITTE - DANKE, Ralf!

Its great news to hear that at long last VW is moving away from the pure EV and talking about Hybrid versions. What still puzzles me is why the Plug-In Hybrids and not a full on Hybrid which never requires charging. 🤔
Spannende Neuigkeiten! Viel Erfolg bei dieser ambitionierten Expansion.
