VW to offer glimpse into future of its electric mobility campaign

At the Los Angeles Auto Show, Volkswagen is offering visitors a look at the future of its electric mobility campaign.

Volkswagen is presenting three show cars at the Californian show – the compact I.D., the spacious I.D. BUZZ and the elegant I.D.CROZZ SUV.

They represent a completely new vehicle architecture that has been consistently designed for electric drive systems.

By 2025 the Volkswagen brand plans to sell one million electric vehicles per year and is aiming to be the market leader in electric mobility.

The first model from the all-electric I.D. Family for Europe will be a compact model, while in the USA the first model will be an SUV.

Jürgen Stackmann, member of the board of management of the Volkswagen brand, said: "Cars stand for freedom and individuality.

”The mistakes of the past have speeded up many things at Volkswagen and a real opportunity arises from the crisis. We believe in electric mobility and in a great future for the automobile. It is the most important means of transport in the USA accounting for almost 80 per cent of passenger kilometers travelled."

The Volkswagen brand will meet the challenges of the future with the I.D. models. They are based on the all-electric architecture that will be used group-wide.

The new e-vehicles offer zero-emission long-distance travel, fast charging capability and spacious, flexible interiors. “
