Volkswagen confirmed that there are initial considerations to adjust the company car regulation and thus to accompany the e-car offensive. However, only the beginning of 2020, the first vehicle of the fully electric ID model family from VW on the market. According to the report, the share of e-cars and hybrid models in Volkswagen's company car fleet is in the per thousand range.
