Bertina Murkovic, president of the committee of the German company explained the situation
It has started this year and the news regarding cars have not been long in coming. And one of the most important comes from porsche when announcing that the brand will become independent from volkswagen for an important electrical project. Without a doubt, an idea that will be formed unilaterally.
And it is that the manufacturer of stuttgart will have to pay compensation of more than 100 million euros to Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles for abandoning the electric car production agreement, which was already signed with Audi Y Bentley. This is where the real dilemma between the brands began.
Porsche’s reasons for leaving Volkswagen for a smarter project
One of the great objectives of the Volkswagen brand was to unite the group’s electrical production under the same technology and in the Hannover production center. However, Porsche has a different concept of automotive more focused on performance in automation technologies.
The Artemis project aims to give great importance to advanced driver assistance and autonomous systems. Affirming that it will build a pioneering electric car from 2024. It is added that the brand with the rings will supervise the technological and financial activities of Bentley from 2023, basing its future projects on Artemis.
The strategies of the brand will have the purpose of having better production capacity
The conflict within the Volkswagen Group seems to have no brake. At the same time, it encourages little by little to face the supporters of autonomous electric mobility such as Audi, Bentley or Volkswagen, against high-performance and sports brands, such as Lamborghini, Porsche, Bugatti or Ducati. After this, key words were said.
“After the disappointment over Porsche’s rejection of the Hannover location and shared platform, we have now agreed to invest that production capacity and its strategic prospects in the Volkswagen brand.” declared the president of the works council of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Bertina Murkovic to the followers of the brand.
