The German Automaker Confirms The Start Of Manufacturing Its Flexible Hybrid System In Brazil For 2024 And Defines An Unprecedented SUV As The First To Receive The Awaited Technology.
Volkswagen has confirmed that the production of its first national flexible hybrid system will begin in 2024, a milestone for the brand’s electrification in the country. The manufacturing will take place at the São Carlos (SP) plant, and the new technology, called BioHybrid, will debut in a completely new compact SUV.
What Do We Know About Volkswagen’s First National Hybrid?
Volkswagen will invest R$ 3 billion in Brazil to, among other initiatives, develop and produce its first hybrid cars. The production of the powertrain will start in the second half of 2024 at the São Carlos factory, in the interior of São Paulo.
This initiative is part of an ambitious strategic plan by the company, which aims for the launch of 15 new vehicles by 2025, including electric and flexible models. The major debut of hybrid technology will be in an unprecedented compact SUV, showcasing the brand’s strong bet in this segment.

How Will Volkswagen’s New BioHybrid Technology Work?
Although the fine details are still kept confidential, Volkswagen’s BioHybrid technology is expected to function as a mild hybrid (MHEV) system. The expectation is that the system will combine the renowned 1.0 TSI engine with a small 48V electric motor.
This electric motor will assist the combustion engine during crucial moments, such as start-ups and accelerations, ensuring that the main result is the reduction in fuel consumption and pollutant emissions, all without the need to charge the vehicle at a power outlet.
What Will Be The First Car To Receive The New National Hybrid Engine?
The first car from Volkswagen to be equipped with the new national hybrid engine will be an unprecedented SUV. The strongest market speculation points out that this new vehicle will be the successor to the Gol, a strategic model that will arrive to be a strong competitor in the compact segment.
The choice of an SUV for the launch of the technology is strategic, taking advantage of the continuous growth of the segment in the Brazilian market.
