4. Vision :
Volkswagen is expanding the research and
development programme for long-term
electrification of drives with this
commitment. The three essential goals of
the fleet trial are:
The electric motors used in the test fleet
should be powered with regenerative
electricity.
The test vehicles store this energy using
the latest battery technology.
These batteries need to be particularly
durable and low cost to allow the electric
drive to make the breakthrough to mass
production.
Mission :
Company supports the protection of the
species in equal measure at all its plants.
Accordingly, nature conservation areas and
national parks should not be put to
economic use.
