Staff WritersVolkswagen’s post-Dieselgate clean streak is stepping up a gear with the promise of delivering almost 70 electric vehicles by 2028 as part of “the great transformation to e-mobility”.
The figure represents a 40 per cent increase in promised EVs and is an acceleration towards clean energy, one that is reshaping the company that in 2015 was caught cheating emissions standards on 11 million vehicles.
Volkswagen is also considering investing in battery manufacturing and has created a component business focused on streamlining development and production of batteries and motors that could ultimately see the company sell electric components to rival brands.

“Customers are looking forward to the new, efficient electric cars and the low running costs,” said Volkswagen chairman Dr Herbert Diess. “But they need certainty as regards tax treatment and charging structure. That certainty can only come from policy makers.”
Volkswagen is also planning to become carbon neutral by 2050, transforming everything from its manufacturing procedures and energy supply to materials and how much energy its vehicles consume.
Currently Volkswagen accounts for 1 per cent of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions.
