Delay in Commencement Once More.
Volkswagen (VW) is facing a delay in the production of its electric vehicles, with the Volkswagen ID. Golf and ID. Roc now scheduled to start production in 2030, not 2029 as originally planned. This postponement is due to high cost pressure, unresolved production questions, and weaker-than-expected electric vehicle sales.
In the meantime, VW must rely on the ID.3 and the upcoming ID. Polo in the relatively affordable volume model segment. The ID.3, currently being produced, will continue to be the main electric vehicle for VW in the mass-market segment. The ID. Polo, a smaller volume model, is scheduled to start production from the end of 2026.
The ID.3 will continue to be produced in Zwickau, and will not move to Wolfsburg, where an electric compact car hub was planned. This electric compact car hub will not be implemented due to the current production situation of the ID.3. The delay in the production of the ID. Golf has not affected the production plans for the ID. Polo.
The scheduled production shift of the gasoline-powered Golf to Mexico will be delayed due to the extended production of the model in Wolfsburg. As a result, the gasoline-powered Golf will now be produced in Wolfsburg for an additional year.
The delay in the launch of the ID. Golf and ID. Roc is causing VW to lose time in the battle for market share in the mass-market electric car segment. The ID. Roc, a technologically related crossover by VW, will also start in 2030.
It's worth noting that no information about the cost or sales of the ID. Golf or ID. Polo is provided in the paragraphs. Similarly, no information about the ID.GTI Concept could be extracted from the provided data.
In conclusion, Volkswagen is experiencing challenges in its electric vehicle production, with the ID. Golf and ID. Roc now set to start production in 2030. The ID.3 and ID. Polo will continue to serve as the main electric vehicles in the mass-market segment for the time being. The gasoline-powered Golf's production will be delayed in Wolfsburg, and the planned electric compact car hub in Wolfsburg will not be implemented.
