Volkswagen: Bestellungen des ID.Polo übertreffen die Erwartungen
Der VW ID.Polo ist schon vor seinem Start sehr gefragt. Auch die Nachfrage nach anderen Elektromodellen wächst. Jetzt will das Unternehmen die Kapazitäten hochfahren.
Volkswagen's electric small cars have surpassed the brand's 100,000 pre-orders, exceeding expectations, especially for the ID.Polo in Germany, a spokesperson said on Tuesday. The ID.Polo alone has been ordered 30,000 times before it even hit the dealerships. The company is therefore ramping up production capacities faster than initially planned.
VW CEO Thomas Schäfer described it as "a strong signal for affordable European electromobility." The ID.Polo is part of a family of vehicles that includes the VW SUV ID.Cross, the Skoda model Epiq, and the Cupra Raval. The Raval and Polo share production at the factory in Martorell, Spain, along with the Epiq and ID.Cross, which are manufactured at VW's Navarra plant in Pamplona, Spain.
Volkswagen estimated savings from the joint development of the cars at 600 million euros. Over 80% of the parts of the vehicles are identical. More: Volkswagen unveils electric mini-SUV for €28,000.
