- If Volkswagen was to reduce the CO2 emissions of its fleet by 30% by 2030, approximately a third of purely electric cars would come onto the roads
- If the transport sector were to be lowered to 40%, then in 2030 more than half of the vehicles would have to be entirely electric.
- The transformation at that speed and with its implications is barely manageable, as within ten years approximately a quarter of the jobs in our plants would then disappear – a total of around 100,000 jobs.”
- An industry such as ours can be destroyed a lot quicker than a lot of people would like to believe. Take a look at the automotive industry in Italy or Great Britain: it practically no longer exists. Detroit has also once had a blooming industry that provided a high standard of living. The USA and China see an opportunity to diminish our dominant position concerning the car of the future. And they are making good progress. I see our chances of retaining our leading position as 50:50.
