Volkswagen Aims to Lead Electric Car Sales in the United States and China

Volkswagen intends to lead electric car sales in the United States and China. According to the executive, the German multinational will invest 16 billion euros over the next five years for the development of software and digital technologies, including autonomous driving systems.

“The key is digitalization. The car is now a software-driven product, like a connected device. Cars will become smarter and safer. Electrification is just the beginning; the real disruption is yet to come,” said Brandstätter.

Combustion Engine Cars Golf, Passat, and Tiguan Will Have New Generations

Despite the billion-dollar investment in electric car production, Brandstätter also added that internal combustion engine vehicles will continue to play an important role for Volkswagen, and some of the best-selling models, such as Golf, Tiguan, T-Roc, and Passat, will have new generations.

He also stated that these vehicles will be necessary for some time, “but they need to be even more efficient,” referring to plug-in hybrid technology (with batteries that can be recharged at outlets).

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

China has deployed snake-shaped robots to slide along power lines, where they have already inspected over 130 kilometers of cables using cameras and sensors to detect damaged wires, worn-out parts, and overheating.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

Cabana do Pai Tomás will undergo an urbanization project with a confidential value, new housing, and slope containment in a project funded by the World Bank.

An entire city in Alaska needs to be moved stone by stone due to ice sinking in a mega relocation project that will cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

Elderly individuals may obtain essential documents without paying fees: a project that includes CIN, CNH, CPF, and work card advances in the Chamber, eliminates issuance and renewal charges, and leaves Brazilians waiting for decisive steps to see if the benefit will actually be implemented.
