At the China International Import Expo in Shanghai, Robert Cisek, CEO of Volkswagen Brand China, laid out an exciting roadmap for the future of new energy vehicles (NEVs) in the Chinese market.
With climate goals on the horizon and a fast-growing appetite for electric rides, VW is revving up its game plan. Cisek spilled the tea on how the German giant plans to deepen partnerships with local players — from battery makers to tech startups 🔋✨. “Collaboration is key to innovation,” he told CGTN, highlighting joint R&D hubs set to boost homegrown breakthroughs.
One of the highlights? VW’s vision for a fully localized supply chain that not only speeds up production but also powers up sustainability. By working hand-in-hand with Chinese companies, VW aims to tweak its designs, cut costs, and launch EV models that truly resonate with local drivers 🚗💨.
But it doesn’t stop there. The roadmap includes plans to expand digital services, from smart charging networks to in-car connectivity experiences that sync with popular apps. Imagine charging your ride with a tap on your phone or updating your car’s software as easily as you would a playlist 🎵📱.
For young explorers and business buffs alike, VW’s strategy signals huge opportunities. Entrepreneurs can ride the wave of new collaborations, students can watch real-world innovation unfold, and EV enthusiasts can look forward to a fresh lineup of models tailor-made for the Chinese road.
As VW powers ahead, all eyes are on how these local partnerships will shift gears in the NEV race. One thing’s clear: the EV revolution in the Chinese mainland is just getting started, and VW is gearing up to stay in the fast lane 🏁.
