VW Is Working To Grow Its Footprint In Africa, & Electric Mobility Is Part Of The Vision
VW is working to grow its footprint on the African continent. VW has a factory in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, where it has capacity to produce 162,000 vehicles per year. Currently, 75% of the vehicles produced in South Africa are exported to global markets such as Germany, UK, and Japan. VW produces the ICE VW Polo and the Polo Vivo in South Africa. All right-hand drive Polos are made in South Africa. The plant also builds left-hand drive Polos for the export market.
In 2022, VW sold about 45,000 of these locally produced Polos and Polo Vivos in the South African market.VW is now looking to ride on the new African free trade agreement to grow its presence on the continent. The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) promises broader and deeper economic integration and would attract investment, boost trade, provide better jobs, reduce poverty, and increase shared prosperity in Africa. Africa could see FDI increase by between 111% and 159% under the AfCFTA.

This is a great opportunity for African countries to benefit from the advances in transportation technology and move towards a more green, future-oriented approach to transport.

I am personally not convinced that we all should just adopt to what the industries and corporations wants us to buy... what's wrong with bicycles, electrical motorcycles and walking, which we all used to do when we were younger? Does it always has to be a car (VW) ?

@patrik_lobergh buying the evs should come when you want to buy a car if in need...but if you can't afford. You just find electric motorcycle or bicycle and even there are electric bicycles
