VW Unveils Arteon Sketch
While the VW CC had a cult following and fans are sad to see it go, Volkswagen is hoping that another premium concept vehicle will have an even bigger fan base. The new concept car is called the Arteon, a portmanteau of “Art” and “Eon”, which VW will use to designate its premium models, and it will replace the CC and the Phaeton (which never got beyond the concept stage).
Design-wise, the Arteon will feature a “highly expressive, horizontally accentuated brand look”, frameless windows, 19” alloy wheels, LED Matrix headlights, a roomy trunk, and an active information dashboard with a head-up display.
The concept will premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2017.

Trans-Europe Charging Project Backed By VW
In a joint statement released last week, Volkswagen Group, along with Ford, BMW, and Daimler, revealed that together they will begin working on a project that will build a number of charging stations along major European highways. The collaboration will be an important step toward the adoption of EVs throughout the mass-market. The goal is to quickly build a large number of fast-charging stations in order to facilitate long-range travel for battery electric vehicle drivers.
Volkswagen Group’s Audi and Porsche brands will be part of the joint venture. “There are two decisive aspects for us: ultra-fast charging and placing the charging stations at the right positions,” Porsche CEO Oliver Blume said in the statement.
The project is slated to start in 2017 with an initial target of 400 stations across Europe. If all goes according to plan, customers should have access to thousands of stations by the year 2020. “The charging experience is expected to evolve to be as convenient as refueling at conventional gas stations,” the automakers said.
While this venture is to take place in Europe, it may influence automakers to do the same stateside. Keep checking our blog for more information as it becomes available.

Volkswagen: Moving People Forward
As many of us are looking to the new year, VW is already looking ten ahead. Last week, Volkswagen released their TRANSFORM 2025+ program which outlines the course for the brand over the next decade.
“Our goals are high and our strategy is very ambitious. We want to benefit from change and to take Volkswagen into the lead in the new automobile industry with determination. Over the next few years, Volkswagen will change radically. Very few things will stay as they are. In the final resort, the new strategy is a major transformation program.”
Some of those radical changes include a three-phase transformation (restructuring, e-mobility, and shaping the major transformation of mobility), development of its own digital platform, evolve into a relevant and profitable producer in North America, comprehensive organizational reform, and to improve profitability while reducing cost.
Not only does VW want to move forward as a company but these proposed changes aim towards moving people forward both literally, with their vehicles, and metaphorically, with their technology and culture. As always, stay tuned to our blog for all the latest information about Volkswagen!
