VW is planning small electric cars under 20,000 euros: hope for the region!

Volkswagen AG is in deep transition. At a company meeting in Wolfsburg, brand boss Thomas Schäfer presented new plans aimed at an affordable electric car under 20,000 euros. “An affordable, high-quality, profitable electric Volkswagen from Europe for Europe: This is the Champions League of automobile manufacturing,” explained Schäfer. This is a glimmer of hope for many employees and customers who have been waiting a long time for an affordable electric alternative. The world premiere of the show car is planned for the beginning of March, while the production model of the VW ID.2all is scheduled to appear in 2026 krone.at reported.

Strategic focus and challenges

VW's decline in sales is obvious. Schäfer commented on the situation in an interview and focused on the challenges that need to be overcome. VW is currently not making any money in Germany and there are no earnings from China either. He acknowledged that the brand has been operating at an inadequate level, “financially unchanged for decades,” which is increasing pressure on the workforce. In order to overcome the “hurdles”, Schäfer calls for a “joint effort” between management, works council and employees. However, a concrete plan remains unclear, which may make many in the workforce more pessimistic about how news38.de reported.

The future of Volkswagen AG now depends on an agile strategy and the implementation of new technologies. Switching to electric vehicles is seen as crucial to compete in a rapidly changing market. The upcoming collective bargaining negotiations on September 25th could also affect relations between employers and unions. The pressure is growing on Schäfer and his team to finally deliver concrete results, while the entire workforce is preparing for an uncertain future with an uncertain outcome.
