New VW head Diess “could outshine Tesla CEO Elon Musk” in boosting e-mobility
The new head of Germany’s VW, Herbert Diess, “will consistently steer the largest car company in the world towards e-mobility”, Martin Seiwert writes on euractiv.de. Diess’s commitment to e-cars “is an affair of the heart for him”, Seiwert says, arguing that Diess had proven this during his time at VW’s competitor BMW. He writes that Diess could become a trailblazer for e-cars like Tesla CEO Elon Musk if he follows through with his promises. While Musk made e-mobility a priority for large carmakers, Diess “could play the important role of pulling e-cars out of the luxury segment and make them available for the masses”.
