Inovev forecasts 100,000 to 200,000 units per year of the new VW ID2 and its derivatives
- Volkswagen unveiled at the 2021 Munich Motor Show a concept car that foreshadows future B-segment battery electric vehicles (BEVs) for the Volkswagen (ID2), Skoda (Elroq) and Seat (?) brands, which will replace the Volkswagen Up!, Skoda Citigo and Seat Mii electrics whose commercial career will be stopped in the coming months.
- The concept car unveiled at the Munich Motor Show looks exactly like the Renault concept car which is presented at the same show and which announces the future electric R5 also of B-segment. Volkswagen leaves the MPV style of the ID3 to adopt a more classic line with a well-separated square and flat engine hood.
- The new model which will replace the Up!, Mii and Citigo will no longer be assembled at the Bratislava plant (Slovakia) but at Martorell (Spain) where it should succeed on the assembly lines the various Seat models and the Audi A1 which will be soon stopped. Production model will begin in 2023 under the three brands Volkswagen, Skoda and Seat.
- In fact, the transfer of the Martorell plant to all-electric will take several years. It is a real challenge for the VW to turn the plant entirely dedicated to electric cars in 2030, taking into account the constraints to the development of this technology in Europe. 2035 seems to be a more realistic objective. This is why Inovev thinks that the production will turn around 100,000 units per year for the VW ID2 and its Skoda and Seat versions, at the start of their career (2023-2025) and then 200,000 units per year in mid-career (2026- 2028) and finally 250,000 units per year at the end of the career (2029-2031).
