Volkswagen is stepping up its focus on the cleaner, smarter vehicles of the future
Frankfurt - Arab Today

German automaker Volkswagen on Friday said it planned to invest more than €34 billion ($40 billion) over the next five years in new technologies to advance its push to become a global leader in electric cars.

“We are reinventing the car,” chief executive Matthias Mueller said after a meeting of the group’s supervisory board.

The bulk of the 2018-2022 spending spree would go on developing electric and hybrid cars, the VW group said in a statement, as well as self-driving cars, new mobility services such as car-sharing, and digitalization.

Like other traditional carmakers, Volkswagen is stepping up its focus on the cleaner, smarter vehicles of the future, racing to catch up with US tech giant Tesla which has a head-start in the area.

The pivot to zero-emissions cars is particularly important for Volkswagen, the world’s largest automaker, as it seeks to shake off a global emissions cheating scandal that shone a spotlight on polluting diesel engines.

The VW group, owner of 12 brands including Audi, Porsche and Skoda, announced in September that it planned to electrify its entire fleet by 2030 – promising fully electric or hybrid versions of some 300 models.

At its meeting on Friday, the group’s supervisory board signed off on an overall five-year spending plan totalling “more than €70 billion”, a spokesman told AFP.

That is slightly lower than the 2015-2019 investments announced in 2014, when the group pledged to spend nearly €86 billion.

VW had previously warned that it would tighten the purse strings as it grapples with the ongoing fallout from the “dieselgate” scandal, which has so far cost it over €25 billion in fines, recalls and compensation.
