Volkswagen focuses on hybrids
Volkswagen CEO Thomas Schaefer recently said that as demand for electric vehicles has entered a “plateau period,” the company will focus on hybrids to meet market demand in the next few years. According to him, this will build a bridge to the ultimate goal of producing exclusively electric vehicles.
Schaefer stated that Volkswagen will continue to invest in hybrids, saying: «Last year, many people thought that hybrids were a thing of the past and said «forget about hybrids, they are an expensive technology. and she's not worth it. Today, many people want hybrid cars again.
Schaefer believes the future of cars will be purely electric, but hybrid cars are an important step towards achieving the ultimate goal — full electrification. Previously, Volkswagen released hybrid versions of the Golf, Passat and Tiguan.
The company will continue to update and launch hybrid versions of the Golf, Passat and Tiguan, focusing on reducing costs and increasing electric range.
