Voltswagen of America. This is the name chosen for the electric range produced by Volkswagen and sold in the United States. After the indiscretion that we have anticipated this morning, the official has arrived. The presentation of the new name will not mean the disappearance of the Volkswagen brand in the United States, which will continue to live on thermal and electrified models.
“We could change our K for a T, but what we’re not changing is this brand’s commitment to making first-class vehicles for drivers and people everywhere,” said Scott Keogh, president and CEO of Voltswagen of America. “The idea of a ‘people’s machine’ is the very fabric of our being. We have said, since the beginning of our transition to an electric future, that we will build electric vehicles for millions, not just millionaires. This name change means a nod to our past as a people’s car and our firm belief that our future lies in being people’s electric cars “.
