The German carmaker Volkswagen is looking forward to be as well a leader in the electric car production. The biggest carmaker in Europe is planning to increase the sales of its latest innovation in its fleet and by 2018, it should present around three percent of the entire range of products. That same year, the management of the company believes that can annihilate its biggest rival Japanese Toyota. Toyota was the one that first launched the idea for electric cars, but VW used it only as a motivation for its own improvement on the car market. And, so far, they are doing perfectly fine! The projections are that the first electric car is going to be set in three years. VW has! already demonstrated the hybrid technology in producing vehicles, at this year’s Geneva Motor Show, where it showed Touareg Hybrid. For the next year, the VW engineers are planning to test 500 Golfs with electric drives. And in 2013, the high-volume Golf and Jetta models are anticipated to dominate the hybrid and electric vehicle market. So using the best formula step-by-step, Volkswagen slowly but surely is going to try and conquer the worlds car market. “We will continue to systematically exploit the potential of internal combustion engines with the goal of significantly reducing fuel consumption and emissions. So over the mid-term, vehicles with electric drives and those with internal combustion engines will co-exist.” – explains Karl-Thomas Neumann, Group Chief Officer for Electric Traction. By far, the electric car is technically ready of short ranges of up to 150 km. If Volkswagen fulfill all that they promise, it will be the leader in CO2-n! eutral mobility.
