By 2033-2035, the largest German carmaker will refuse to produce cars with combustion engines in Europe. This is what the head of the Volkswagen sales department Klaus Zellmer told the newspaper Muenchner Merkur. At the same time, this period comes a little later for the American and Chinese markets.
A representative of the company told the publication that such a strategy applies only to the Volkswagen brand and not to all brands that are part of the group. Earlier, however, information has already appeared that other brands from the VAG empire will say goodbye to combustion engines in 2050.
As for the transition to electric traction of those models sold in South America and Africa, it is too early to talk about this, because in many countries there is neither a charging infrastructure nor the necessary legal framework. That’s where the “classic” cars come from. Including our market.
