The German concern Volkswagen AG plans to completely reorient its mass divisions Volkswagen, SEAT, Skoda to the production of electric vehicles by 2033, two years earlier than announced. This is reported by Automotive News, citing the company's CEO Thomas Schaefer.
At the same time, it is noted that the reserves for the accelerated reorganization of production will be released not only by the closure of the production of cars on the conventional MQB platform, but also through a more complete unification of electric vehicles by components.
Thus, the fully electrified Volkswagen will arrive at the appointed time with a reduced model range compared to today. The manufacturer promises to release the next ten new Volkswagen, SEAT and Skoda electric vehicles by 2026, including those smaller in size and cost than the Volkswagen ID.3.
