German carmaker Volkswagen has threatened to quit the country鈥檚 influential carmaker lobby group VDA as a dispute over the national car industry鈥檚 approach to managing the transition in the transport sector towards low-carbon technologies escalates, the newspaper Welt am Sonntag . According to the article, Volkswagen wants the lobby group to budge from its rigid insistence on 鈥渢echnological openness鈥� in the transition and to fully focus instead on electric vehicles. VW CEO Herbert Diess reportedly said that the development and support of other propulsion technologies, such as fuel cells or gas engines, would only divert much-needed resources from the most important technology alternative. Volkswagen said the VDA had to be more vocal in fending off a 鈥�culture war against the car鈥� currently being fought in the country. To push the market rollout of e-cars, the carmaker has called for lower taxes and the creation of an 鈥渆lectric mobility fund鈥� that would allow owners of electric cars costing less than 20,000 euros to charge them for free -- a proposal rebuked by Volkswagen鈥檚 competitors, who on average build more expensive car models.
The advance by the country鈥檚 biggest car company has been opposed by many of Volkswagen鈥檚 fellow VDA members. Industry supplier Bosch opposed VW鈥檚 plans, saying combustion engines will continue to play an important role and that the market itself would sort out which technology prevails, Henrik Mortsiefer in the newspaper Der Tagesspiegel. Regulation had to be 鈥渢echnology-neutral鈥� as too many factors were at play when deciding which propulsion system is best for the future. Ultimately, customers will decide, Bosch manager Stefan Hartung told the newspaper. Wolf-Henning Schneider, CEO at car industry supplier ZF Friedrichshafen, Tagesspiegel 鈥淥ne should not confuse the strategy of a single company with that of a whole industry.鈥�

Volkswagen last week announced it would further accelerate its already ambitious rollout plans for electric mobility. The company that still grapples with the fallout of the dieselgate scandal over manipulated emissions values plans to produce more than 20 million e-cars in the next decade and become fully CO2-neutral by 2050. Environmental NGOS called the announcement a 鈥�game changer鈥� for the transition in the transport sector. 聽However, Volkswagen also said that restructuring meant that it would have to axe several thousand jobs.
