· Volkswagen to promote new energy strategy, the first battery factory is expected to settle in China

It is expected to choose to build the first battery factory in China. On the one hand, because the Chinese government has long-term and strong support for electric vehicles, on the other hand, its two partners in China can share investment costs. The Volkswagen Group sold 3.55 million vehicles in China in 2015. If domestic joint venture partners participate in the construction of battery factories, their products will quickly realize electric localization.
China Economic Net's comprehensive foreign news report, Volkswagen Group is currently planning the strategic layout of new energy vehicles, and as a basic battery factory, it will be the top priority for its "electricization" strategy. Sources close to the top of the Volkswagen Group said: Given the Chinese government's full support for the development of electric vehicles, Volkswagen Group's first battery factory is expected to settle in China.
Volkswagen Group CEO Muller announced the "2025 Strategy" during this year's Geneva Motor Show, depicting a more digital and electrified blueprint. At present, Volkswagen Group has designed and produced nine electric vehicles, which will increase to 20 by 2020. By 2025, it will increase to 30.
The Volkswagen Group and its 12 brands, as well as the integration of key components, will be an "elegant company of electrification initiatives" in accordance with the requirements of the company's CEO, Muller. Volkswagen hopes to reach an annual production and sales of 3 million electric and plug-in models by 2025.
The source pointed out that by 2020, the Volkswagen Group's new car, the proportion of electrification is expected to reach one-third. In order to achieve this, the Volkswagen Group is facing a huge challenge in procurement. In order to match the "2025 Strategy", the group will invest 20 billion euros to build ten battery factories, with an average cost of 2 billion euros per factory.
It is worth mentioning that the public's requirements for battery safety, reliability and consistency are very demanding, which is not unrelated to the electric golf recall in the first half of this year. On March 28th, Volkswagen Group announced that it will recall nearly 5,600 golf electric versions in the US market to solve the hidden danger that the battery may cause the vehicle to stall. All of the electric vehicles involved in the recall were mainly concentrated in the US market. The electric version of golf began to be sold in November 2014, and 4,232 units were sold in the United States last year.
As an industry topic, battery quality affects the next step for multinational auto giants. As a pure electric car owned by Nissan, the wind was announced in March this year, recalling from the United States and Canada, involving 47,738 vehicles. The reason for the recall was the failure of the relay in the electronic brake booster. According to the data, the company has sold more than 43,000 vehicles last year, ranking second in the world in Electric Vehicle sales.
Renault also announced on March 24 that it will recall 10,649 Zoe electric vehicles to repair the potential risk of possible breakdown of the brake fluid hose. The recalled models were produced between 2012 and October 6, 2014, and are produced at the Flins plant near Paris. So far, the model has reached 42,300 units.
For the investment in the battery factory, the Volkswagen Group is still in a heated discussion. The reason is that it is expected to choose to build the first battery factory in China. On the one hand, the Chinese government has long-term and strong support for electric vehicles, and on the other hand, it is in China. Two partners can share the investment costs.
According to the data, Volkswagen Group joined hands with two joint ventures, SAIC Volkswagen and FAW-Volkswagen, in 2015 to deliver 3.55 million vehicles to customers in China and Hong Kong, including 176,917 imported models. China offers an important market advantage. If the domestic joint venture partners participate in the construction of the battery factory, Volkswagen Group's products will quickly achieve electric localization.
At present, the Chinese government has been intensifying efforts to control air pollution, and hopes to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction by promoting the development of electric vehicles, including preferential policies for electric vehicles on major cities (Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, etc.) and financial subsidies. Of course, some critics have pointed out that the practice of supporting the development of electric vehicles is only to transfer pollution from large cities to rural areas. Because domestic energy structure relies on coal, building battery factories, and using and recycling batteries, they face greater potential pollution. .
