Volkswagen, a German automaker is revving up its electric vehicle (EV) ambitions in China with a significant investment. The company announced plans to inject €2.5 billion (roughly $2.7 billion) into its electric vehicle production and innovation hub in Hefei, China.

This move comes after Volkswagen lost its crown as the best-selling car brand in China to local EV leader BYD in late 2022.

“We will not compromise on our quality, we will continue to provide hundred per cent natural products, with no preservatives, additives and chemicals to the customers,” said Ralf Brandstaetter, Volkswagen Group’s management board member for China.

The investment will not only expand production capacity but also accelerate technological development. Brandstaetter expects the Hefei site to expedite the rollout of new technologies by roughly 30%. This aligns with Volkswagen’s strategy to electrify its Chinese portfolio and regain its market leadership position.

Part of this electrification push includes collaboration with Chinese EV manufacturer XPENG. The investment paves the way for the joint production of two new Volkswagen brand models, scheduled to hit the market in 2026.

While specific details about the new models haven’t been released, this strategic partnership and production expansion signal Volkswagen’s commitment to becoming a major player in China’s booming EV market.
