The VW Group wants to increase its BEV production capacity to 1 million units in 2022
- The Volkswagen Group wants to increase its production capacity of 100% battery electric vehicles (BEV) to 1 million units in 2022, distributed as follows: 600 000 units per year in China (including 300 000 in Foshan and 300 000 in Anting ) and 400 000 units in Europe (of which 200 000 in Zwickau, 100 000 in Emden and 100 000 in Hanover).
- The Zwickau plant has just started producing the Volkswagen ID 3, which is a 100% C-segment sedan. Its derivatives under the Seat and Skoda brands are expected to start being produced in the spring or summer of 2020. This plant will manufacture the Volkswagen ID 4 SUV in the autumn of 2020, as well as its Seat and Skoda derivatives. Eventually, this plant should produce six different 100% electric models (three sedans and three SUVs).
- The Hannover plant should be dedicated to the 100% electric light utility vehicle (LUV) launched in 2022 under the Volkswagen brand (it could be the replacement of the Kombi and the Transporter).
- The Emden plant should be dedicated to other 100% electric models, such as ID 1 or ID 2. This plant is expected to start manufacturing 100% electric models from 2022, shortly after the transfer of the Volkswagen Passat which would be removed from Emden's production line to be transferred to the new plant that Volkswagen has decided to build in Turkey.
- In total, Volkswagen plans to sell one million 100% electric vehicles in 2022, divided into 600,000 units in China and 400,000 units in Europe. This scenario, however, seems very optimistic.
