JAKARTA - The automotive giant Volkswagen is increasingly looking to the future with a focus on developing the electric car segment, as evidenced by various new steps and breakthroughs. Including the latest Group Management Board notified the Volkswagen Group Supervisory Board of vehicle allocation plans for the brand until 2028 and focused on making EVs at the Wolfsburg plant, Germany.

This step is in line with the company's future goals, with an efficient vehicle allocation and increased productivity which is a key aspect of ACCELERATE's performance program.

We face complex challenges in this industry as transformations are carried out under difficult business conditions. What's more important is to prepare Volkswagen's individual factories and production networks in Germany for the future," said Volkswagen CEO Thomas Schryptofer in the company's media space, September 29.

Quoted from the Areaev page, September 30, Volkswagen has officially confirmed that its iconic Golf hatchback will make the electric transition, and will be assembled right at the brand's headquarters in Wolfsburg. This electric golf will be combined with another model based on the Scalable Systems Platform (SSP). This means that there will be clustering with the system in line with what Volkswagen management officials want.

In addition, according to the company's release, in 2026, the factory will also issue a large number of electric SUVs for segment A with a large capacity. The successor model of Tiguan Allspace will also be produced in this factory starting in 2025. However, to accommodate this many needs, it is said that it does not require an expansion of the factory.

Interestingly, this is the electric golf debut in 2028 if supported by the SSP architecture, it is possible that this ninth generation golf will use an 800-volt architecture. In a sense, charging speed is also very fast from 10 percent to 80 percent, which only takes about 12 minutes. And for those who dream of driving autonomously, it is known that SSP is preparing a Level 4 advanced driving system.
