It is, apparently, the conclusion, the car giant Volkswagen is reached after having published the plan in the autumn. The group have now decided to screw the ambitions a tad more, up to 22 million. cars and 70 models in 2028.

the ambition of 70 models to be reached before 2028, car giant from next year forward a new model on the market with a space of under 50 days. At the motor show in Geneva, the group has therefore also display more bids in the future electric cars, including Seat e-Born, the Skoda Vision IV and Audi e-tron Q4.
One of the grundstammerne in the electric wager is the so-called MEB-platform, as a number of the cars will be built.
VW has recently opened for that other automakers may purchase and use the platform in their own cars, which according to the press release from Volkswagen can give a ‘significant reduction’ of the cost of the group’s green strategy.
