The desperate search to take a couple of years to a range of electric models, has Volkswagen will put Battery to achieve this (now very precious), where we see no lost time and has agreed with Toshiba produce batteries for its future cars.
As I said before, both companies have already signed a cooperation agreement to develop electric motors and other systems for the range of electric models Volkswagen , called by them New Small Family .
And this, of course, is that the German does not have much experience with batteries and those with less Lithium-Ion . So request help from Toshiba , a firm with a vast experience in this field.
As is well known, has global intentions Volkswagen , are becoming more serious and profound. The firm had said a few months ago that aimed to become the world’s largest manufacturer of automobiles, a goal that falls in sales of GM and Ford , can actually get done soon. But getting there first must dethrone Toyota and their hybrid models. A task, which at this point, I see very difficult. But as you never know.
You may have to Frankfurt a prototype hybrid or electric, with batteries Toshiba , we will see.
