However, the switch to an electric car is not possible for many customers overnight, said ZF CEO Scheider. It’s about the range of e-vehicles.
Berlin boss of the automotive supplier ZF Friedrichshafen, Wolf-Henning Scheider, looks at the car manufacturer Volkswagen too much focus on pure electromobility in the future. “You can not equate the strategy of a single company with the entire industry,” said the CEO the “Tagesspiegel”. He has respect for the VWStrategy, but in the end the customer has to buy the products. “And there will not be just one solution.”
When it comes to alternatives to the internal combustion engine, the industry is currently setting in addition to battery electric drives also about fuel cell technology, synthetic fuels or hybrids, But VW boss Herbert Diess puts the focus on e-mobility and wants to bring more pure electric models on the road.
According to data from Tuesday to 2028 nearly 70 new E-car models go into the sales. Previously, VW had spoken of 50 electric models. In the next ten years, VW wants to build 22 million electric cars instead of the previously targeted 15 million.
However, the switch to an electric car is not possible for many customers overnight, said ZFBoss Scheider. It’s about the range of e-vehicles. “I am convinced that this topic can be solved over time. But not in the next ten to 20 years. “

ZF itself relied on a combination of electric and combustion engine, which will soon allow purely electrical ranges of 80 to 100 kilometers, said Scheider. By the end of the year, the first vehicles with this drive would be in the dealership.
