Wolfsburg According to works council chairman Bernd Osterloh, the automotive group Volkswagen is well on the way to asserting itself against the electric car pioneer Tesla. “We are now in the middle of the electrification of our fleet,” said Osterloh of the newspaper “Welt am Sonntag”.
He sees good chances that VW can overtake the US manufacturer Tesla in terms of quantities and software. “If Tesla builds three factories in which you can build between 300,000 and 500,000 cars, then we’re talking about a number between 900,000 and 1.5 million,” said the works council chairman. “We want to achieve that in 2023, probably sooner.”
