Thanks to its ambitious electrification plan, the Volkswagen Group has made important steps forward in the decarbonisation of its vehicle fleet. According to what & egrave; was communicated by the German group, in 2021 472,300 electrified vehicles were delivered in the European Union, including Norway and Iceland. This is an increase of 64% compared to 2020.
The share of 100% electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) is; increased to 17.2% of total deliveries (2020: 10.1%). On the strength of these important results, the Volkswagen Group & egrave; they also become the market leader in the BEV segment in Europe in 2021. This growth in sales of electrified models has made it possible to meet the European Union & # 39; Union targets for CO2 emissions at fleet level .
OBJECTIVES ACHIEVED
In 2020 , the average CO2 emissions of the Volkswagen Group fleet stood at 99.9 g/km in the EU area, including the UK, Norway and Iceland. However, these are calculated data on the NEDC cycle . From 2021, however, the WLTP cycle has been used that & egrave; more realistic. The most direct consequence of this novelty; & egrave; that the values of emissions rise. Precisely for this reason the target is; been adapted to the new cycle. Obviously, following this change, the results of 2020 are not comparable with those of 2021.
Furthermore, the United Kingdom is not; included in the 2021 data, following its exit from the European Union. The Volkswagen Group, it should be remembered, intends to become climate neutral by 2050 , which is why it is systematically pursuing decarbonisation, even beyond its own vehicles. For example, the Wolfsburg power plant, which produces electricity. for the plant and district heating for the city, & egrave; has recently been converted from coal to gas: a solution that will allow; to cut 1.5 million tons of CO2 per year, equivalent to the annual emissions of 870,000 cars.
And on the electric car front, in 2022 there will be several novelties; at Group level including the Skoda Enyaq iV Coup & eacute; and the Volkswagen ID. Buzz.
