By OEM Update Editorial April 6, 2021 3:02 pm IST

The share of renewable electricity purchased rose from 80 to 95 percent at EU production sites within a year.

The Volkswagen Group made significant progress in supplying its plants with electricity from renewable sources in 2020. By 2023, all EU sites are to be supplied with 100 percent electricity from renewable sources. By 2030, the same target is planned for all global sites outside China. The three largest sites were the Audi plants in Győr, Hungary, and Neckarsulm, Germany, and the Volkswagen plant in Palmela, Portugal. Plants operated by Bugatti, Skoda, SITECH, MAN Truck & Bus and MAN Energy Solutions also converted to 100 percent renewable electricity in 2020.
