The full-frontal
electrical attack of the Volkswagen Group, is gaining ground. Odeliveries of electric models of its brands Group in the European Union,
including the United Kingdom, Norway and Iceland,
increased more than four times in 2020, to a total of 315,400 electric
vehicles (2019: 72,600). The percentage of pure electric vehicles (BEV) and plug–in
hybrid (PHEV) in total deliveries, increased to 9.7%
(2019: 1,7%).
According to
with official figures for 2020, το Volkswagen Group is the clear leader of the electromobility market in Western Europe,
representing a share of approximately 25% (2019: 14%). The main drivers of this
of the evolution was the rise of the Volkswagen (passenger car sector) and Audi, which exceeded their emission targets
pollutants CO2 for their fleets,
mainly due to the great success of the electric models ID.3 and e–tron. Based on preliminary data, the Volkswagen Group lower
thus the emission limit value of pollutants CO2,
for the new passenger car fleet in the EU, by around 20% in
compared to 2019, at 99.8 g/km.
At the same time,
the strict target that they have jointly set for the Volkswagen Group with other major manufacturers in the Old World
Epirus for the reduction of the CO2 -
creating a pool of models where the M.O. is obtained globally for all
their chips - was not achieved for just 0.5 gm./km. The latter, on the one hand
is very encouraging for the future, on the other hand it did not affect the financial results
of Group as the relevant forecasts had been made. It is noted that emissions Bentley and Lamborghini measured
individually, so they are not included in the above calculations.
Regarding
with the individual chips, the Volkswagen in 2020 produced about six million grams less CO2 than the target predicted. The fleet of new passenger cars
cars of the Volkswagen in the EU achieved average emissions CO2
92 g/km, while the target for the brand was 97 g/km. As a result, the
emissions CO2 decreased by 22% to
compared to the previous year.
Overall,
about 212,000 BEV ή PHEV Vehicles Volkswagen were delivered to customers in the past year, of which about 134,000 were delivered to customers in the past year, of which about
electric. The ID.3 was the key model to achieve the
Target. With a trading career of only a few months (since September), he noted
deliveries of 56,500 units by the end of the year, with demand increasing.
It is characteristic that the ID.3 was the best–seller electric
car in many countries in the last quarter of 2020 while in Sweden, last year
December, was the best–seller across the entire car market - not just in the
electric.
Η Audi had
also a very important contribution to the achievement of the Volkswagen Group the emission target CO2 on
in 2020. The brand continues its transformation to become a provider of sustainable premium mobility.
Last year it was by far the largest manufacturer of electric vehicles among
three German premium Chips. The Audi e–tron (including Audi e–tron Sportback) saw a significant increase in demand in the
previous year (47,300 units, +79.5%). Worldwide, the Audi e–tron is the electric vehicle with the largest
sales among the Germans premium manufacturers.
The Volkswagen Group will enhance the electric
attack in 2021 with a large number of new electric vehicles, based on the
Modular Platform for Electromobility (MEB). Η Volkswagen has already released the ID.4, its electric SUV, η
Audi will
start this year with the Q4 e–tron and Q4 e–tron Sportback, while the SHOME launches the ENYAQ iV in the spring. The above,
create the certainty for the executives of the Volkswagen Group that in 2021 all targets will be met in terms of
by further reducing emissions of pollutants CO2
from the new cars of the Group to be put into circulation.
