Currently, Volkswagen has 5 hybrids in production—the VW Touareg, the Porsche Cayenne S, the Audi Q5, the Porsche Panamera S and the VW Jetta—with the hybrid versions of the Audi A6 and A8 on the way, Schmidt noted, adding: In Europe first we launch the two BEVs, the up! Volkswagen Group targeting 95 g/km CO2 emissions by 2020.
With more than a quarter of a million vehicles sold since its launch six years ago, the Porsche Cayenne is one of the few success stories in the modern era. Now, Porsche is working on a Cayenne Hybrid which it hopes will lead its emergence in the high performance green car sector. This allows drivers to save fuel at speeds of 86mph.
With CO2 emissons of 148g/km the luxury SUV sets the bar surprisingly high when it comes to this premium sector of the automotive industry - as a comparison the Porsche Cayenne starts at 244g/km of CO2, the BMW X5 at 214g/km, and the Audi Q5 175g/km - impressive stuff.
With this i am not saying that PHEVs will overshadow BEVs, because these last ones should continue to grow fast, possibly starting already in March, but what could happen is that both technologies will continue to grow throughout the year, at the expense of the other fuels.
