The new brand chief of VW, Ralf Brandst盲tter, has appeared to play down the group鈥檚 transition to a full focus on electric vehicles, news agency dpa reports in an carried by Focus Online. In an interview in Auto Motor und Sport, Brandst盲tter, who will take over the role from CEO Herbert Diess on 1 July, said the company will continue to offer combustion models for 鈥渁 long time.鈥� This appeared to contradict Diess鈥檚 earlier statements that the firm鈥檚 last combustion vehicles will be developed in 2026 and launched in the early 2030s. 鈥淲e have always said that in the long term we will still have different propulsion types in our program on an equal footing. With us, every customer can choose the technology that best suits their mobility needs,鈥� Brandst盲tter is quoted as saying. He said this included 鈥渃onventionally powered vehicles,鈥� adding that the emissions of these vehicles will be continuously reduced.

Under Diess, VW has more actively moved into electric mobility than most other carmakers. After the Dieselgate emissions cheating scandal, it initiated a major transformation in its business. The ID.3 is its first fully electric model, based on a new vehicle platform that forms the basis for its huge electric ambitions. But mass production of the model has been hampered by many difficulties. In , Diess also recently called for an economic stimulus package that would include support for combustion engine cars.
