Recently, according to foreign media reports, Volkswagen Group may adjust its electrification layout.
Bloomberg reported that Volkswagen Group’s strategy of fully developing all-electric vehicles no longer exists.
“European Automotive News” reported that as market demand for pure electric vehicles slows down, the Volkswagen brand may produce and sell more plug-in hybrid models.
In response, the official said that Volkswagen is launching models that meet the needs of different consumers, and is also advancing the electrification process at full speed.
Volkswagen has always adhered to the electrification strategy.
, the official said that during the transformation process, due to the differences in the development pace of markets around the world, the layout of the power system must be flexibly promoted.
In the next three years, Volkswagen plans to launch more than 40 new models in China, half of which will be new energy vehicles.
Volkswagen will provide efficient internal combustion engine models, plug-in hybrid models and pure electric models.
, Volkswagen Group’s first-quarter performance data showed that many of its financial data showed a year-on-year decline.
Its operating profit for the first quarter was 4.
588 billion euros, down 20.
2% year-on-year.
sales were 75.
461 billion euros, down 1.

operating profit margin fell 1.
4 percentage points year-on-year to 6.1%. after-tax profit was 3.

Faced with fierce competition, Volkswagen Group is also seeking changes.
