According to information from Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of Volkswagen, in an interview with Automobilwoche, the German automaker will continue to only update and enhance the current gasoline and diesel combustion engines to make them more efficient. The reason for this measure is that the multinational will invest heavily in the manufacturing and production of electric cars.

The executive did not specify how long we will still see gasoline and diesel engines in Volkswagen cars, but, it seems that they will remain for the next 10 years.

Although the automaker aims for half of its sales in Europe to be completely electric cars by 2030, there will still be gasoline and diesel combustion engine cars, as is the case with the Golf and Tiguan, which are set to get another generation.

One of the challenges for the giant Volkswagen in implementing electric cars is countries like Brazil, where there is little action and incentive for the adoption of electrified vehicles. Despite this challenge, VW aims to launch six electric or hybrid car models in Brazil by 2023. One of them will be the eighth generation Golf, which will be launched in the hybrid GTE version.
