VW and Isuzu pour cold water on SA's electric vehicle ambitions

Volkswagen and Isuzu have expressed scepticism about South Africa’s plans to develop electric and hydrogen-powered vehicle industries.

"They won’t call on us to make battery electric vehicles here" as there is enough capacity in Europe and transport costs would be lower, Martina Biene, chairwoman and managing director of Volkswagen South Africa, said at a conference in Gqeberha, close to her company’s 165 000 vehicle-per-year factory in the country."We are not in the long run the exporter to Europe anymore."

South Africa has also done little to develop a domestic market for the vehicles, the executives said.
