VW announced its readiness to catch up and overtake Tesla

The Volkswagen AG concern intends to produce up to 1.5 million electric vehicles by 2023, that is, the same as the American manufacturer Tesla. About this in an interview with the German Welt am Sonntag stated Bernd Osterloch, chairman of the industrial council of the concern.

“If Tesla builds three factories, which will produce from 300 thousand to 500 thousand cars, then, consequently, we are talking about the total production from 900 thousand to 1.5 million units. We want to achieve the same targets in 2023 or even earlier, ”said Mr Osterloch. According to him, “a huge advantage” of the concern is the modular electric drive matrix, which makes it possible to produce any car of any brand of the concern.

The concern intends to overtake Tesla in terms of software development. “Their advantage is that they already install their own software and use it to collect information. If we put our system in our cars, then in the shortest possible time we will receive much more information, ”said Mr. Osterloch, referring to the work of the Artemis project, which is headed by the CEO of the VW manufacturer Audi, and the creation of a single Organization automotive software, which included all VW divisions dealing with software.
