Volkswagen, the German automaker is tiring to brush up its reputation that was led down cause of the worldwide diesel gate scandal. The company has announced that it will make an entire electric lineup by the year 2030.
By the end of next decade, VW vows to offer "at least one electrified version of each of the 300 or so group models", the firm said in a statement.
By 2025, the company estimates that up to one in four of its new vehicles -- three million per year -- could be purely battery powered. The announcement will in future represent "the yardstick by which we measure our performance," chief executive Matthias Mueller said.
Mueller was brought to the team so that he could help the company regain its lost reputation. VW admitted in 2015 for manipulating the emission tests n 11 million cars worldwide.
In November 2016, the group announced its ambition to be the world's biggest electric carmaker by 2025, slashing 30,000 jobs as it frees up cash for investment in research and development into new technologies.
The company recently made an announcement of presenting 80 new electric vehicles - 50 all electric and 30 hybrids by the next decade.
And VW says it will invest some USD 24 billion in developing new vehicles, upgrading plants, training its workforce, charging infrastructure and battery technology and production.
