Volkswagen Bets On Electric Vehicles And Nearly Doubles Sales, With A 97% Increase

The German group Volkswagen published data confirming it has doubled sales of fully electric vehicles worldwide last year. Although it grew in all sectors, the sale of electric vehicles rose by nearly 100%

Along with 106,000 PHEVs – Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles, the company delivered more than 369,000 electric cars, 73% more than in 2020. The ratio of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and hybrid vehicles reached 7.5% of total sales, which was only 4% in 2020.

Currently, in Europe, electric vehicles account for 19.3% of Volkswagen’s deliveries, up from 12.6% in 2020. Only in its home country, Germany, one in four cars sold by Volkswagen was electric.

ID.4 Is The Most Prominent Model

The best-selling car among the 263,000 BEVs, with 119,650 units, was the battery electric model ID.4. Next is the ID.3 (around 76,000), the e-up! (approximately 41,500), and nearly 18,000 units of the ID.6, a category offered exclusively in the Chinese market by Volkswagen.

In Europe, the ID.4 topped BEV sales rankings in Denmark, Finland, Ireland, and Sweden. In the United States, nearly 17,000 units of the same fully electric model were sold.

Global Market

Volkswagen recorded a total of 4.897 million vehicle sales worldwide across all propulsion systems, which represented a decline of approximately 8.1% compared to the previous year.

According to the company, the semiconductor supply shortage resulted in production limitations during the year.

Klaus Zellmer, a member of Volkswagen’s sales and marketing board, stated in a released note: “Volkswagen achieved satisfactory sales under extremely challenging conditions. However, the massive effects on production caused by the semiconductor situation could not be fully compensated over the year. Nonetheless, our record waitlist of 543,000 vehicles just in Europe – 95,000 of them IDs – clearly shows that demand for Volkswagen vehicles remains very high.”

Volkswagen expects that at least the first half of this year will remain quite unstable and challenging due to continuing semiconductor supply constraints.

SUV Market

SUVs, or sport utility vehicles, now account for more than 40% of all car deliveries from Volkswagen. In the United States, the company achieved three-quarters of its revenue from SUV sales, reaching its highest vehicle sales figure in the country since 2013.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

From space, a geological “target” of 5.5 km embedded among the red canyons of Utah has challenged scientists for decades and may hide the mark of a colossal impact that has never been fully explained.

The Federal Institute offers more than 500 vacancies in free technical courses in Construction, Electrical Engineering, Nursing, Mechanics, Chemistry, Occupational Safety, and much more; the opportunities are offered by IFFluminense, in RJ.

Petrobras completes 1,300 hours of work and 15 km of subsea lines to connect the Búzios 90 well to the P-79 — the platform is ready to produce 180,000 barrels per day and is just awaiting ANP approval.

Vietnam opens its market to Brazilian beef calves and grants access to a destination that has already imported over US$ 3.5 billion from the national agribusiness, expanding exports, reducing waste, and boosting slaughterhouses across the country.

Brazil consolidates itself as one of the signatory countries of the Artemis program and strengthens its partnership with NASA in projects related to food production, lunar research, and space technology, focusing on the upcoming crewed missions to the Moon.
