Volkswagen Group provides active support for use of electric cars: 50 e-Golf vehicles handed over in Hamburg


Hamburg, February 22, 2018 – In Hamburg, 50 members of the public, entrepreneurs and employees of authorities will benefit from e-mobility from today onwards. The #volkswagen Group has handed over 50 e-Golf cars. Over the next three years, they are expected to drive around 1,5 million kilometers through Hamburg with the environmentally compatible e-Golf silently and with zero emissions. The initiative is part of the partnership between the #volkswagen Group and the City of Hamburg. Through this initiative, the Group is also making a contribution to the nationwide penetration of e-mobility in Germany. 

At the handing-over ceremony, Ludger Fretzen, Head of Group Strategy for New Business of the #volkswagen Group, said: “With these 50 e-Golf cars the new owners make a contribution for better air quality. The objective of our partnership with Hamburg is to make urban mobility more environmentally compatible and more efficient. That is also in line with our Roadmap E.”

Frank Horch, Senator for Economy, Transport and Innovation in Hamburg, said: “More and more people involved in business administration in Hamburg and also a growing number of members of the public are prepared to organize their mobility in a way which is non-polluting and to switch to zero-emission electric vehicles. The fact that we have today been able to hand over 50 electric vehicles to these future-oriented users on behalf of all these people clearly shows that awareness is being transformed into practical action.”
