For this, CEO Herbert Diess wants to change the company car rule, the newspaper reported. This had criticized managers, it should not be, customers to buy thrifty, clean cars to heart and driving even heavy, strong PS SUVs.
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.
In the coming year, every tenth of the approximately 20,000 company cars of the VW brand in Germany should be a car with electric drive, including, for example, a hybrid vehicle.
