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.

The ID.R is our first electric car designed for motorsports. It is already redefining what an electric vehicle is capable of, setting new records at Pike’s Peak, Goodwood and the Nürburgring.
ID. Buzz
Inspired by the Californian dune buggies of the Sixties, the two seater, all-wheel drive ID. Buzz is designed to explore the broad spectrum of emissions-free driving.

The ID. Buzz Cargo promises to be one of the most advanced light commercial vehicles ever made. This exciting new concept features intelligent storage, an integrated driver’s workstation, augmented reality (AR) head-up display and the ID.
