Volkswagen’s Electrified Ambition: 10 Million Cars by 2024?
Volkswagen has just dropped a bold forecast: the company intends to roll out 10 million electric vehicles—backed by its brand‑new MEB modular platform—before the end of 2022. “On paper it sounds like a birthday cake for the entire Group,” one spokesperson chuckled.
What’s Inside the Box?
- 27 models across four banners (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, and… well, you know the rest).
- First wave: compact cars and SUVs under the main Volkswagen label, plus some slick looks from Audi and Skoda.
- Production kicks off in Zwickau, Germany, with the flagship ID line hitting the assembly line next year.
Why 10 Million?
Volkswagen’s director of electric strategy said the ticket: “We’re predicting 10 million sales across the Group, all powered by MEB.” That’s the number for the initial lineup—so the real challenge will be keeping the momentum as the lineup expands.
From Diesel Scandal to Green Leader
After the diesel‑emissions debacle three years back, VW has vowed to ditch the old diesel ghost and become the global front‑runner in sustainable transport. “We’re not just smoking out our past mistakes; we’re fueling our future,” the CEO declared.
