Germany and France "which have always moved Europe together for decades" must find joint solutions between politics and business, said Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Blume at a prior event of the consortium ahead of the Paris fair that starts this Monday. Our plan For Europe (which they presented at the beginning of the month) does not detail what we lack but rather what we can build and improve. This means, among other things and according to Blume, that the criterion Made in Europe, the definition of which is being debated for the Industrial Acceleration Act (IAA), "should reward true value creation, not only the origin of components but also design, development, engineering, production, and employment." Industry and politics must go hand in hand. #Volkswagen #CochesEléctricos #UniónEuropea (translated)

"Geopolitical crises and the rapidly increasing global competitive pressure demand that Europe — just as they demand of the Volkswagen Group — advance faster and drive change with determination," said Oliver Blume, CEO of the group, during the presentation of the initiative, held on Sunday, October 11, just before the opening of the Paris Motor Show. #Volkswagen #MovilidadEléctrica #IndustriaEuropea (translated)
