Volkswagen confirmed its plans to manufacture its new e-Crafter electric utility vehicles at its Września factory. “At this stage of the project, the design of the vehicle will be finalized in Hannover. In the next stage, production will be transferred to Wrzeńia,” VW spokeswoman Dagmara Prystacka said. Września factory already manufactures, the standard, fuel-powered Crafter cars. Volkswagen has said it would deliver the first new electric vehicles to clients later this year. The new electric-powered utility vehicle will be able to travel more than 200 kilometers and carry a load of 1.7 metric tons. VW said it aims to become the world leader in electric cars by 2025.
