The Martorell plant may produce VW ID 1 and ID 2 and their rebranded versions
- The Spanish plant of Martorell, which today produces Seat and Audi, will certainly produce the future small battery electric vehicles of the Volkswagen group, namely the ID 1 and ID 2 as well as their Seat and Skoda branded versions. These models of 4.00 m and 4.20 m long will be based on a new platform and will be launched from 2025. They participate to sales increase objective of the Volkswagen group, estimated according to Inovev at a volume of 2 to 3 million units in 2030.
- The Martorell plant is set to eventually produce 500,000 small BEVs per year from 2030. Today, this plant has a production capacity of 500,000 internal combustion cars per year. The Volkswagen group is therefore counting on the gradual decrease of the 500,000 thermal cars produced each year in Martorell and to offset it gradually with 500,000 electric cars by 2030. These models will be marketed at a price ranging between 20,000 and 30,000 euros. This strategy will allow Spain to become one of the major electric car production country in Europe.
- In parallel to this strategy, the Volkswagen group has decided to invest directly in the creation and development (with the support of the Spanish authorities) of a network of public charging infrastructures. A figure of 350,000 urban and peri-urban public charging points by 2030 has been communicated.The Volkswagen group has indicated that it is awaiting support from the Spanish government and a clear commitment from the European Commission on this subject. The current Seat Mii, Skoda Citigo and Volkswagen Up electric will be discontinued this year, and will therefore not be replaced until 2025.
