Speaking at the annual general meeting of the Wolfsberg, Germany-based automaker, chief executive officer Matthias Mueller revealed its target to create one in three of its cars powered by electric motors by 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe expect that by then we will be selling about two to three million pure-electric automobiles a year,\u201d he added. \u201cThis will account for a significant share \u2013 an estimated 25 per cent \u2013 of our total sales volume. We are stepping up our efforts accordingly and will launch a multi-billion euro investment programme.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The news comes as many automakers across the world scramble to join the in-demand EV market, headed by the likes of Tesla. Utility Week projects that the market will be worth $500 billion by 2026, forecasting a major swing in the overall car market towards alternative fuel sources away from fossil fuels. Volkswagen also confirmed it will fit all of its new TSI and TFSI petrol engines with gasoline particulate filters from June next year to help significantly reduce emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There have been plenty of traditional carmakers that have already embraced electric power, such as Nissan with its game-changing Leaf model, or VW\u2019s fellow countrymen BMW with their \u2018i\u2019 Range. Volkswagen themselves have tried their hand at EVs with models such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/personal-car-leasing\/volkswagen\/up\/\">Volkswagen e-Up!<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/personal-car-leasing\/volkswagen\/golf\/\">e-Golf<\/a>, but for the company to sell a third of its cars as electric, it will have to look into larger models such as its SUV range. Perhaps this is an indication of what to expect next from Volkswagen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re looking to drive a brand new Volkswagen from its vast range without the heavy upfront cost, car leasing is a brilliant alternative to getting that new car feeling regularly without having to commit for what can seem like a lifetime. You will find hundreds of suitable Volkswagen lease deals at cars2buy and all you need to do is filter your options to find the perfect deal for you. At the end of your lease, simply hand the lease car back and you are free to come back to cars2buy and find a lease offer for another brand-new car. Using cars2buy&#8217;s car leasing comparison service, you can search and compare millions of car lease deals from the top leasing companies up and down the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here at cars2buy, we have the best Volkswagen lease deals in the UK, available to lease anywhere from 24 to 48 months. Start your search by selecting what VW model you wish to have, and then whittle it down to the perfect deal for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Volkswagen has announced that it will increase its focus on electric-powered cars as part of its 2025 strategy.
