Production with climate-neutral balance

The new ID.3 will be manufactured in Zwickau, Dresden and in future also in the main plant at Wolfsburg, and will be handed over to customers in Europe with a carbon-neutral balance. The Zwickau factory, the largest and most efficient electric car factory in Europe, uses 100 per cent green electricity. The site includes a highly efficient combined heat and power plant, which is planned to operate with carbon-neutral gas in the long term. Production of the battery cells, which are externally sourced by Volkswagen, is unavoidably energy-intensive. That is why Volkswagen has obliged its cell suppliers to use exclusively green electricity for manufacturing.

The measures implemented in Zwickau and at the cell suppliers significantly reduce the CO₂ emissions in production. The remaining emission share is offset by climate protection measures with certified carbon credits.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO₂ emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.

Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO₂ emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO₂ emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.
