⚡#EnterElectric — that’s the name of the e-mobility campaign we are launching as Volkswagen Group to target retail and fleet customers, employees, dealers and media.    💪 Many of our brands are supporting this during the coming weeks and months: AUDI AG, CUPRA, Elli, PowerCo, Porsche AG, Škoda Auto, Volkswagen, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and Volkswagen Financial Services will be pushing clear facts and advantages of all-electric mobility. We are planning a wide range of formats, to counter myths that are still widely believed.  🚗 And that’s not all: In the Volkswagen brand, too, we are launching a large-scale campaign to draw attention to the advantages of our ID. Family. 🔋 We're already offering a highly attractive range of BEVs in the volume segment – with ranges of more than 700 kilometres, charging capacities of 200 kW in the ID.7 Pro S* (best in class!) and intelligent and convenient features and options such as our e-route planner or massage seats. 🚀 And there's more to come: By 2027, we will launch eight new electric models, including affordable e-mobility for all. This means that VW offers the broadest e-portfolio on the market! *ID.7 Pro S - Combined power consumption 16.2-13.6 kWh/100 km; combined CO2 emissions 0 g/km; CO2 class: A

Title: Volkswagen: A Legacy of Innovation and Challenges Since its inception in 1937, Volkswagen has emerged as a quintessential player in the automotive industry, known for its innovative engineering, iconic designs, and global presence. From the iconic Beetle to the modern electric ID. series, Volkswagen has continually evolved to meet the demands of an ever-changing market while navigating through various challenges. Historical Roots: Volkswagen, which translates to "people's car" in German, was founded under the direction of Adolf Hitler's regime with the aim of making car ownership accessible to the masses. The Beetle, designed by Ferdinand Porsche, became the company's flagship model and achieved unprecedented popularity, eventually becoming one of the best-selling cars of all time. Innovation and Expansion: Throughout its history, Volkswagen has been at the forefront of automotive innovation. In the 1970s, the introduction of the Golf, with its front-wheel-drive layout, set new standards for compact cars. The company expanded its product range with models like the Passat, Jetta, and Polo, catering to diverse consumer preferences worldwide. Challenges and Controversies: Despite its successes, Volkswagen has faced its fair share of challenges and controversies. In 2015, the company was embroiled in a scandal involving emissions cheating software installed in millions of diesel vehicles worldwide, tarnishing its reputation and resulting in significant financial and legal repercussions. Transition to Electric Mobility: In recent years, Volkswagen has made a strategic shift towards electric mobility, aiming to become a leader in the emerging market. The launch of the ID. series, including models like the ID.3 and ID.4, represents the company's commitment to sustainable transportation and reducing its carbon footprint. Future Outlook: As Volkswagen continues its journey into the future, it faces both opportunities and obstacles. The transition to electric vehicles presents new possibilities for growth and innovation, while also requiring substantial investments in technology and infrastructure. Additionally, the company must navigate evolving consumer preferences, regulatory requirements, and competitive pressures in an increasingly crowded market. Conclusion: Volkswagen's storied history is a testament to its resilience, adaptability, and commitment to driving progress in the automotive industry. Despite facing challenges along the way, the company remains a symbol of innovation and engineering excellence, poised to shape the future of transportation for generations to come. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking

Volkswagen Group launches EV campaign The Volkswagen Group is launching its first ever cross-brand communication campaign to stimulate driver interest in electro-mobility. It will distribute facts and messages in a wide rage of media to counter myths about EVs. One example of the awareness campaign is a special edition of the Volkswagen Magazine, which was circulated in November 2024 with 1.2 million copies in newspapers, industry magazines, and car dealerships. In addition, the Battery ABC series, which was aired on a number of social media channels, shared basic fact-based knowledge across brands. A new info hub was also launched.

☝🤓 Yes, we will offer electric cars for EUR 20,000. In Europe, for Europe. To be launched in 2027. Oliver Blume, CEO Volkswagen Group: "Generations of people associate the strong brands of the Volkswagen Group with their first car – and with affordable #mobility. As a group with strong brands, we continue to assume this social responsibility to this day. That's why I'm very pleased that we're launching a future-oriented project. It’s about entry-level #electric mobility from #Europe for Europe.” Thomas Schäfer, CEO of Volkswagen and head of the Brand Group Core: “Our vehicles will set standards in the entry-level segment in terms of #technology, design, quality, and customer experience. This task has become more demanding due to rising energy, material, and raw material costs. One thing is clear: electromobility from Europe for Europe can only succeed with political support and competitive framework conditions.”

I got my driving license in 2019, shortly after starting my job at VW. I still remember my driving instructor scolding from time to time for my poor driving skills (LAUGH). Meanwhile, he taught me a lot of lessons about life as an ordinary to below-average earning family and their ties with cars. A clear message he wanted me to convey (to VW) further: They can’t afford a Volkswagen anymore. It’s no longer the Volks-Wagen. Today, we confront significant challenges from the Far East, characterized by extreme price distortions. Working in a far peripheral business area, it was beyond my capability to make a direct impact on product strategy. But armed with this lesson, I paid strict attention to cost-effectiveness, endeavored to leverage and maximize outcomes wherever possible and often voiced my opinions in open talks with top managers. Now, I also share this message with my former VW colleagues (again) from a distance. While most may be excited about the new opportunity, be mindful of the numerous challenges, one as reported today by Handelsblatt, to which everyone can make a direct impact by simply modifying behavior and methods in the workplace. Back to cars, I am a modest user and don’t drive a lot. An entry-level E-Auto fulfills my daily needs sufficiently. Having some design talents as friends and knowing their impeccable taste, I am confident in committing myself to a promising Volkswagen made 'In-Europe-for-Europe'! Good luck and much success! 💪 👍 Volkswagen Group, Volkswagen, Thomas Schäfer, Daniela Cavallo 粘扣扣 Tianmou. Xu https://lnkd.in/efPt4xET

This move is part of VW Group’s broader strategy to lead Europe’s electrification efforts. The world premiere of this affordable EV is set for 2027, with Wolfsburg, Germany, remaining central to VW’s electrification journey. VW Group CEO Oliver Blume emphasises the project’s commitment to “entry-level electric mobility from Europe to Europe,” ensuring advanced technology, design, and quality at an attractive price. The initiative underscores the need for political support and competitive conditions for the success of electromobility in Europe.

Volkswagen Group is driving the future forward by introducing its innovative line of low-cost electric vehicles. As a leader in the automotive industry, VW is making sustainable mobility more accessible with plans to offset rising energy, raw material, and labour costs by localising much of the project to Europe. Volkswagen brand boss Thomas Schäfer said that despite the low price point, the planned entry-level model would set standards in terms of technology, design, and quality, adding this had become more challenging.

The answer to the Renault Group talks ceasing conundrum… Volkswagen Group had this in the bank all along 👇 Scaling across core group (VW/Škoda/SEAT/Cupra), plus possible licencing deals. A Ford Fiesta perhaps? Sub €20,000 model by 2027 likely gives a reality check of where entry BEVs will land. Any genuine price parity with ICE, as always expected, will be from ICE inflationary pressure on increased safety legislation, hybridisation, automatic transmissions etc, rather than the other way around. These new entry level models are key to electrifying Southern and Eastern EU member states if climate targets are to be met. Assuming those regions still have purchase subsidies these models will be a leap to meet the -55% EU CO2 fleet emissions goal (over 2021 levels). The best thing. Small vehicles are about to fight back and that is a great thing for heavily congested roads. Andreas Mindt take a trip to the heritage museum along with Thomas Schäfer and work your magic

By 2027, electric car prices are expected to reach near cost parity with traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, due to advancements in manufacturing processes and economies of scale. According to market research from Gartner, electric vehicles (EVs) will be cheaper to produce than petrol and diesel vehicles by 2027. This reduction in production costs will help lower the higher list prices of most electric vehicles compared to their ICE counterparts, making EVs more affordable for consumers. https://lnkd.in/dv34GW-y
