Almaty. September 14. Silkroadnews – Volkswagen plans to sell 1.5 million electric vehicles in China by 2025, Wheels 24 portal reported.
“German automaker Volkswagen is aiming to sell 1.5 million electric cars in China by 2025 seeking to capitalize as Beijing mulls a clampdown on polluting vehicles”, the report said.
According to Volkswagen CEO Matthias Mueller, the company has excellent opportunities to take advantage in China’s environmental policy as early as in 2018. He also touched on a joint venture with the Chinese automaker JAC and stressed that Volkswagen “will have products which will fulfill the political requirements.”
“Mueller said his firm’s aim was to sell three million electric vehicles globally by 2025, half of them in China. This represents around one quarter of its expected global sales in 2025. The CEO has set a target date of 2030 to “electrify all our cars”,” the report reads.
The agency writes, Volkswagen is trying to restore its reputation after the Dieselgate scandal in 2015, when the company admitted that it cheated on emission tests on 11 million cars around the world.
