Volkswagen is now telling the rest of the ID. CODE story. The concept car presented in Beijing in 2024 charted the course in terms of design, innovations and customer benefit. Building on this, the brand is now unveiling three new concept cars at Auto Shanghai together with its Chinese joint venture partners. The ID. AURA (from FAW-Volkswagen), the ID. ERA (from SAIC VOLKSWAGEN) and the ID. EVO (from Volkswagen Anhui) are representative of a new generation of smart electric vehicles and give a preview of the product strategy for the coming years. Volkswagen plans to bring out over 30 new models (including 20 NEVs) in the relevant segments of the Chinese market through the end of 2027. These will include production versions of the concept cars now being presented in Shanghai, whose design and technologies have been specifically tailored to the needs of Chinese customers.

The Volkswagen Group is continuing to consistently pursue its ‘In China, for China’ strategy and is shifting into ‘delivery mode’ at Auto Shanghai 2025: on the eve of the world's leading trade fair for the automotive industry, the Group is presenting ten new models from its strong brands, including five world premieres. With the ID. ERA, ID. EVO and ID. AURA, three concept vehicles from the Volkswagen brand are making their debut. They represent a new generation of intelligent, fully connected electric vehicles (ICVs) that are tailored to the wishes of Chinese customers. The two further world premieres also offer cutting-edge technologies and highly automated driving assistance functions: Audi's new all-electric model based on the PPE (Premium Platform Electric) platform, the Audi A6L e-tron, and the first series model of the new AUDI brand, the AUDI E5 Sportback.

The Volkswagen Group Mobility companies are a fundamental part of the Volkswagen Group. Together with the brands, they develop financial and mobility services that give customers fast, digital and flexible access to their dream car - from hours, days and weeks to months and years.

Experience electric mobility: All-electric vehicles from the Volkswagen Group stand for driving pleasure, innovative technology and sustainable mobility. With the cross-brand communication campaign Enter Electric, the Volkswagen Group is placing a clear focus on education. The initiative dispels widespread myths and prejudices and explains the advantages of e-mobility in detail. Key topics such as suitability for everyday use, battery life, charging convenience, cost benefits and sustainability are addressed.

SEAT S.A., the Government of Spain, through the Ministry of Industry and Tourism, the Generalitat de Catalunya, the Comunitat Valenciana and the Government of Navarre have signed the ‘CASA SEAT Declaration for the promotion of electric mobility in Spain’, a joint commitment with the aim of advancing the transformation towards electromobility in the country. The agreement was endorsed at a summit held at CASA SEAT in the presence of Wayne Griffiths, President of SEAT S.A.; Salvador Illa, President of the Generalitat de Catalunya; Jordi Hereu, Minister of Industry and Tourism; Carlos Mazón, President of the Generalitat Valenciana; and María Chivite, President of the Autonomous Community of Navarre.

The Volkswagen Group will launch its first ever cross-brand communication campaign in the coming weeks and months to stimulate interest in finding out about electromobility. It will dis-tribute clear facts and transparent messages in a wide range of formats to counter myths that are still widely believed.

At the International Suppliers Fair (IZB) in Wolfsburg, Germany, Volkswagen Group and Thyssenkrupp Steel signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the planned supply to Volkswagen Group of low-carbon steel from Thyssenkrupp Steel’s future direct reduction plant. This agreement underscores the two companies’ joint commitment to sustainability and climate protection, marking a further milestone in their long-standing partnership.

Moving you. Moving forward.

The Volkswagen Group is welcoming further strategic collaboration and significantly accelerating its development efforts in the field of automated and autonomous driving. Now, Volkswagen is intensifying its partnership with Mobileye in the domain of automated driving. Together, the two companies will bring new automated driving functions to series production. Mobileye is to provide technologies for partially and highly automated driving based on its Mobileye SuperVision and Mobileye Chauffeur platforms. In future, the Volkswagen Group’s Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini and Porsche brands will use these technologies to rapidly introduce new premium-oriented driving functions to their model portfolios across powertrain types. These include advanced assistance systems for highway and urban driving, such as automated overtaking on multilane highways in permitted areas and conditions, as well as automatic stopping at red lights and stop signs, and support in intersections and roundabouts. In addition, Mobileye is set to supply further technology components for automated driving to Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. In the long term, the Volkswagen Group aims to rely on its own complete in-house system: Partnerships with Bosch and Qualcomm, as well as with Horizon Robotics in China, will be continued with a focus. All driver assistance systems are to be based on the software architectures developed by Volkswagen’s Cariad company.

Moving what matters.

October 23rd, 2023 - By 2030, there could be up to 10,000 autonomous shuttles on Hamburg's roads. That’s the goal of an agreement between the Federal Ministry of Transport and the Hanseatic City of Hamburg, which is now being brought to reality.
