The fleet of Siemens AG will be gradually supplemented by up to 1,000 leased VW ID.4 vehicles. The conglomerate based in Berlin and Munich has set ambitious goals for the electrification of its own fleet as part of its sustainability strategy. By 2030, the entire vehicle fleet is to be CO2-neutral and fully electric.

"Fleets of companies and authorities are an important lever in the market ramp-up of e-mobility. Consequently, the electrification of vehicle fleets is also of central importance to us as Volkswagen Financial Services. We observe that more and more fleet managers are also electrifying their service vehicles. This shows how practical e-mobility has become in everyday use," said Armin Villinger, spokesperson for the management board at Volkswagen Leasing GmbH.

Spacious Interior

Stefan Kurz, Head of Global Fleet Management at Siemens, explained: "We chose the VW ID.4 because the vehicle, in our eyes, offers a good combination of range, charging speed, trunk volume, and price."

The ID.4 is the first all-electric compact SUV from the Volkswagen brand. It is produced and offered in China, the USA, and Europe. The modular electric drive matrix (MEB) forms the technical backbone of Volkswagen's electric offensive. In the ID.4, the MEB's design allows for a spacious interior. It offers a maximum range of up to 531 km according to WLTP.
