from the klimaretter dieselstinker
size is always a trademark for vw have been both positive and negative,. after the maximum diesel scandal is the autokonzern demonstrate that he favoured as the cleanest producer the number one in the industry. "when we do something, we do it big," said christian senger, head of series e - mobility, these days in dresden.
the proof that vw with the sustainability seriously, want the manufacturer at the end of the year. the first real electric car in the vw group, i.d., 2020 to market is also the first carbon neutral produced serienauto of twelve brands group, such as thomas ulbrich, board for electric vehicles, said. that means the car is not only during the journey of water, but also in the production.
and throughout his lifetime, it is its environmental footprint to a minimum. at best, zero if the customer only green gas. a million tonnes of co2, so promises to vw, alone in the production will be saved. the remainder will inevitably reduce vw through compensation, so by investing in projects.
clean, from raw materials and recycling
the factory produced. in zwickau, the under construction, "now 100% internal combustion engine 100 percent electric propulsion", as it is. in the future, should in addition to zwickau in the transparent factory in dresden. - vehicles. in addition, the works in hanover and emden converted. many e - models, the extraction of raw materials and recycling, literally clean, should at first. follow.
in the next five years to more than 20 pure e - vw models on the market. nine billion invested in the main brand of the company alone until 2023 in the electromobility. bigger than thought are the expectations of the vertriebsleute: instead of the originally planned 10 million by 2020 electric vehicles, the company with its twelve brands as a whole at the electronic platform to build, it is now 15 m illionen, a first wave. the positive feedback of the vw dealers have those responsible in wolfsburg, surprised.
but in the transparent factory in dresden, where vw electrical golf produces, it is clear that the „marathonlauf "in the electromobility of the company, has just begun. 14 000 e golf in dresden were produced last year. a marginal phenomenon in the volkswagen group, the 2018 world 10.8 million million vehicles sold. of carbon neutrality can not be said. 43.7 tons of carbon dioxide (co2) are cut from a vw vehicles on the life cycle of today's emissions, two thirds of them solely by the fuel consumption.
battery production is very energy intensive
at this point, the electric car's greatest advantage play, all the more so if the electricity from renewable sources. but the electric's first environmental disadvantages. because the production of the battery is very energy intensive, whereas the co2 balance towards a golf diesel first by 150 percent. about half of its „kohlendioxid - backpack "bring the electric i.d. from the supply chain and production, said michael liebert, head of sustainability at vw. here's the car much stricter in its approximately 40 000 direct suppliers to create. who with vw wanted to stay in business, must be transparent and be sustainable.
but to make the customer, vw also make the effort, to get to the bottom of things'. so were the suppliers of the battery cells, the vw mostly from europe and poland in particular with high kohlestromanteil refers to provide certified green electricity for production use. the emissions in the zellfertigung could reduce by 80 percent, said philippi. this contractual solutions, is difficult. therefore, considering the zellproduktion volkswagen, in business. for the existing suppliers, the new konzernpolitik: "our criteria, we will," said mark philippi. "we want to be the driver." in order to be more transparent, vw, similar to its competitors, in the middle of the year, a sustainability rating implement.
"no more secrecy."
a lot of effort for a elektromobilitätsmarkt, measured on the entire car market, is small. with barely two percent is the percentage of battery powered vehicles to the new date. but in the group are the foundations for the future which, with all the risks that this transformation brings with it. "i had two years ago, doubts as to whether such a large organization such as the volkswagen group internal desire to turn up," said georg kell, spokesman of the nachhaltigkeitsbeirats of volkswagen ag and former executive director of the united nations global compact. but now he was „beeindruckt "the seriousness with which the vw top the „gigantischen change pushes. thus, vw, alone. both bmw and daimler, in the case of bmw already significantly longer on sustainability in the entire value chain of electromobility. "it will be a competitive advantage if the customers know how the resources are used," said keil. "there is no more secrecy."(徳囯ASK电容器)
