New VW head Diess ā€œcould outshine Tesla CEO Elon Muskā€ in boosting e-mobility

Euractiv

The new head of Germany’s VW, Herbert Diess, ā€œwill consistently steer the largest car company in the world towards e-mobilityā€, Martin Seiwert writes on euractiv.de. Diess’s commitment to e-cars ā€œis an affair of the heart for himā€, Seiwert says, arguing that Diess had proven this during his time at VW’s competitor BMW. He writes that Diess could become a trailblazer for e-cars like Tesla CEO Elon Musk if he follows through with his promises. While Musk made e-mobility a priority for large carmakers, Diess ā€œcould play the important role of pulling e-cars out of the luxury segment and make them available for the massesā€.
