ID. Golf und ID. Roc verspätet? Elektrisches Durcheinander bei Volkswagen
VW sucht Partner für PowerCo und verschiebt wohl Produktionsstart des ID. Golf
VW könnte seine SSP mit einem ID. Touareg starten

Overview

  • Handelsblatt reports the ID. Golf and compact SUV ID. Roc now target production around 2030 in Wolfsburg, extending delays previously expected for late decade launches.
  • Volkswagen confirmed it will open the ownership structure of its battery business PowerCo to external partners, and said the same for its ADMT/Moia robotaxi unit.
  • Insiders cited by Handelsblatt link the postponements to cost pressure, weaker‑than‑planned EV demand and unresolved production sequencing, including a later shift of the combustion Golf to Mexico.
  • Bloomberg reporting, relayed by Chip.de, says liquidity constraints are deferring Wolfsburg modernization spending, potentially pushing the electric Golf by roughly nine months.
  • Automobilwoche reports SSP may debut in Bratislava with an ID. Touareg in 2029 to prioritize margins and available capacity, with a range‑extender option under consideration.
