Electric cars
Leading the way in electric
Our future is electric. Discover how Volkswagen is leading the way to a more integrated, more intelligent, more sustainable future.
Realising the future
It’s our social responsibility to create vehicles and services that provide a genuine benefit to both people and the environment. We’re dedicated to exploring eco-conscious possibilities and turning them into reality with clean production, recycling and eco-fuel alternatives.
Fuel for thought
Our committed approach to ensuring a sustainable future is evident in every vehicle we produce. It’s our mission to keep our carbon footprint at a minimum, which means keeping a close eye on energy consumption per vehicle and improving our energy efficiency, water consumption waste for disposal, and CO2 emissions.
