A few days ago, the Volkswagen Group issued a statement saying that it will reach the legal target of Carbon Dioxide emissions in Europe in 2021. The data shows that by 2021 its new passenger car fleet in the EU will emit 118.5 g/km of CO2, about 2% lower than the statutory target. However, the Volkswagen Group's data does not include Bentley and Lamborghini brands. In addition, Volkswagen also said that the above emission data is based on preliminary data, and the European Commission is expected to make a final confirmation at a later date.
In addition, in 2021, the Volkswagen Group delivered a total of 472,300 electric vehicles in the European Union, including Norway and Iceland, an increase of 64% compared with last year, and the proportion of pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles in total deliveries rose to 17.2%.

In the future, Volkswagen will invest more energy in the field of electric vehicles and launch more new all-electric vehicles, after news that Volkswagen aims to double the sales of electric vehicles in 2022, especially the ID. series. It is worth mentioning that the Volkswagen Group aims to become the world's leading supplier of electric vehicles by 2025 and will invest 52 billion euros in the field of electric vehicles from 2022 to 2026. In addition, Volkswagen plans to achieve a 60% share of pure electric vehicles in Europe by 2030.
