the future of The car will be electric.
No one has any doubt, in the Paris motor show. For the moment, the leaders of the segment are Tesla and Renault Nissan. However, with the scandal of the emissions of the diesel vehicles from Volkswagen well present in the environment, the reduction of the price of the batteries you can push it once and for all the electric revolution. The German giant wants to turn the page and lead the change.
Volkswagen presents the prototype of which will be its new electric vehicle in one of the storefronts that mark the tendency of large manufacturers.
A year after the outbreak of the "dieselgate" we speak of its consequences with the director of Sales and Marketing of Volkswagen, Jürgen Stackmann, who accompanies us from the Paris motor show, many thanks.

us customers of Volkswagen, whose vehicles were affected by the enhancement in the emission control will receive up to $ 10,000. Why Volkswagen doesn’t want to give the same compensation here in Europe?
Jürgen Stackmann, Sales director, Volkswagen:
"we’re trying to the same way to our customers all over the world, trying to offer a technical solution for the upgrade of their cars with the best service specialized to live in the place that they live on the planet".
"The Volkswagen group is facing different scenarios of legal, obviously, legal considerations are not the same in all sites, so the solution for America is something different. The good news in Europe is that we have discovered how to solve the problem of 5.6 million vehicles, with spare parts, with technical solutions. We have called to the customer for the change of its electronic control unit, we have worked hard with the authorities and it has paid off".
euronews:
however, the European Commission pressed to get similar compensation to those of the united States. What are negotiating with Brussels?
Jürgen Stackmann:
"I Think, I understand the feeling that exists, but repairs are not receiving any compensation individual, the vehicles are fixed, they are returned in perfect condition, just how we ordered, with our new software."

In June, the chairman of Volkswagen, Matthias Müller, has announced big investments in electric vehicles and autonomous. When did come on the market the first models and what are their sales targets?
Jürgen Stackmann:
"we’re in a time of fascinating changes, a transition in the brand Volkswagen, which from the outset has been compromised greatly with the investment in the development of all-electric cars, they will have no combustion engine, will be only electric with a range of 400 to 600 kilometers, which behave like normal cars. We want you to see the light in three and a half years, in 2020, at a price equivalent to that of a Golf diesel current, well-equipped. We believe that we will be the first manufacturer to sell a million electric cars a year by the end of 2025".
euronews:
last but not least what is the future of diesel vehicles?do they have a future?
Jürgen Stackmann:
"The answer is simple. Yes, diesel vehicles and petrol vehicles will have a similar evolution, we will continue to invest in cars cleaner for both diesel and gasoline. Our obligation is that these technologies are the cleanest and the most prepared for the future, focusing really on the electric mobility to those areas of the planet where this is possible, from the point of view of infrastructure".
