Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Blume told investors recently that he and his management team have a 10-point plan for the future.
Speech by Oliver Blume CEO Volkswagen AG
We reached further milestones in our electric fleet ramp-up. We topped the
500,000 mark with our Volkswagen ID.s and delivered the 100,000th Porsche
Taycan
Point 5: CARIAD.
One of our most pressing issues in recent months was realigning our software
activities. One thing is clear: setting up CARIAD, our software unit, was the
right decision. Now, we are moving forward with the development of CARIAD.
We are looking at what core competences we have in-house and reviewing
where partnerships are meaningful.
We have redefined the interfaces with our brands and are optimizing
processes and tools.
We are improving the software in current volume models with ranges of up to
700 km and a maximum charging capacity of around 200kW.
And we will be rolling out a high-performance software for our premium
brands next year.
The long-term goal is a unified software for the Group that will enable us to
maximize scaling benefits.
Point 7: Battery, Charging and Energy.
We presented our power roadmap to the public in spring 2021. The locations
for three of the six planned battery factories in Europe have already been
decided.
The decision on a site in Eastern Europe should follow soon and we will begin
investigating sites in Canada soon as well.
We signed a memorandum of understanding on raw material security with the
Canadian government a fortnight ago.
This week, we launched our joint venture with Enel in Italy in the field of
charging and energy. As a result, we have moved another step closer to our
target of establishing 45,000 fast charging points worldwide by 2025.
