ReutersVolkswagen aims for 'margin parity' on some EVs by 2025
MUNICH (Reuters) -Volkswagen Chief Financial Officer Arno Antlitz said on Wednesday rising battery material costs mean it will be 2025 before the automaker can build some electric vehicles at the same profit margins as combustion models. "A lot of the margin parity depends on raw materials," Antlitz told the Reuters Automotive Europe conference. When Volkswagen launched its new electrification strategy in July 2021, it said it expected to reach margin parity between combustion engine and electric vehicles "within the next two to three years".

ReutersGM, VW face idled capacity risk in China without faster EV transition -Greenpeace
Automakers including Volkswagen and General Motors could have considerable unused production capacity for conventionally powered vehicles in China by 2030 if they do not speed up their transition to electric vehicles (EV), Greenpeace said on Thursday. As demand for new energy vehicles (NEV) - including fully electric and plug-in hybrid cars - grows, new NEV-only producers such as BYD will take market share and leave legacy automakers sitting on wasted production space geared toward unwanted internal combustion engine (ICE) cars, the organisation said. Over-capacity in China's combustion engine car industry is a long-standing issue, with a ban in place by regulators since 2017 on the construction of new capacity.

ReutersVolkswagen defends China record at turbulent shareholder meeting
BERLIN (Reuters) -Volkswagen defended its record in China and its decision to jointly own a plant in the Xinjiang region after activists and investors lashed out at the carmaker at a volatile annual general shareholder meeting on Wednesday.

The United Nations said last year that China's "arbitrary and discriminatory detention" of Uyghurs and other Muslims in its Xinjiang region may constitute crimes against humanity.

ReutersVolkswagen sees growing competition ahead as revenue jumps on Europe, US
Volkswagen sees higher competition later this year as supply chain bottlenecks ease and China's electric car market heats up, the carmaker said on Thursday, adding that it put margins over volume even as it fights to maintain market share. The company was emboldened to stick to its annual outlook of a return on sales of 7.5% to 8.5% and higher deliveries by a strong first quarter, boosted by higher revenues in Europe and North America. In China, though, sales fell by 14.5% and Chief Financial Officer Arno Antlitz acknowledged that the carmaker had work to do to catch up with domestic competitors on battery-electric vehicles.
