Bentley is the latest automaker to announce its EV intentions by preparing to launch its first zero-emissions production car in 2025. Assembly will take place at home in Crewe as part of a massive \u00a32.5 billion (about $3.37B) investment that will be made until the end of the decade. By 2030, the Volkswagen Group\u2019s luxury brand will have discontinued all vehicles equipped with combustion engines to become a purely electric marque.<\/p>\n
The plan to produce an EV in the United Kingdom comes as good news for the factory where about 4,000 people are employed and where all the current vehicles are produced. While the company\u2019s first foray into the EV segment will be assembled in Crewe, the unpainted bodies will be sourced from the Hanover plant in Germany owned by Volkswagen Commercial Services. At the same facility where the ID. Buzz<\/a> will enter production in the coming months, Audi will build its equivalent of the electric Bentley.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In related news, a \u201cDream Factory\u201d will include the existing plant and a future expansion. The goal is to entirely eliminate water waste and other environmental impacts by 2030. Bentley aims to become carbon neutral in just eight years\u2019 time as part of the VW Group’s greater plan to have zero CO2 emissions by 2050 across all of its brands.<\/p>\n
