Volkswagen Group has announced an ambitious new target for its EV sales goal in Europe by 2030. The revised target builds upon the Group’s 2021 Accelerate electrification strategy and pertains specifically to its Volkswagen passenger car marque. This move is part of the Group’s effort to expedite the pace of EV adoption and help meet the growing demand for zero-emissions vehicles around the globe.
The revised target of 80% EV sales in Europe by 2030 is a significant increase from the 70% originally laid out in the 2021 Accelerate strategy. Thomas Ulbrich, who leads Volkswagen passenger cars’ New Mobility business, recently shared the revised target and said that the Volkswagen brand “has always been at the forefront of these issues in the group and we feel obliged to set our targets so high.”
To help meet this ambitious goal, Volkswagen passenger cars is launching a slew of new and revamped EV models. This includes a refreshed version of its ID.3, the ID.7 (which will get a “near-production” unveiling next week), and an all-electric version of its ever-popular Tiguan SUV which was recently announced for 2025.
The Group’s EV sales targets will remain at 50% by 2030 in the US and China, but Volkswagen is confident that its revised target in Europe will further demonstrate its commitment to its electrification strategy. With the help of these new models, Volkswagen looks to hit its revised EV sales target and continue to lead the way in the EV market.
