Volkswagen Group uses Audi brand to catch up with Tesla in electric vehicle production
December 1, 2020According to the published data, the Volkswagen concern is going to add a three-row SUV to the line of electric cars of the Audi Artemis project.
It is reported that the implementation of the project will not be affected by the dismissal or extension of the contract with the current head of the concern Herbert Diess. Thus, Audi was commissioned to develop and distribute software and components for the new electric vehicles among all 12 brands owned by Volkswagen.
To implement the new project, Diess appointed new leaders of some brands in 2020. The only thing that is currently not known in this situation is the name of Volkswagen’s new CFO. Actually, because of these reshuffles, the management board of the concern began to discuss the future contract of Disss.
In addition, it became known that Audi will manage the Car.Software department, which will develop a unified operating system for cars of all brands owned by Volkswagen. The new team is expected to lead the concern to a victory over the American Tesla, both technologically and financially.
