Dec 18, 2025 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: n-tv.de
  • Volkswagen intends to manufacture only electric small cars from 2026 onward due to the unprofitability of combustion engines in this category.

  • Stricter EU emissions standards render new gasoline models below the Polo segment too costly for consumers.

  • VW dismisses hydrogen technology as unfeasible for small vehicles because of high expenses and insufficient green hydrogen supply.

  • A battery cell plant in Salzgitter has recently begun production, supplying cells for the ID. Polo and Cupra Raval electric cars made in Spain starting next year.
  • Offering new models with gasoline engines in the Polo class and below makes no sense in light of future emissions regulations. They would be too expensive for our customers.
    — Thomas Schäfer, head of the Volkswagen brand, on the economic viability of combustion engines in the small car segment.
