Volkswagan has moved more than 8,000 units of its ID.4 electric SUV to the US from Germany since March this year and has set out to make the method of delivery as sustainable as the vehicle it is delivering, all part of its ‘goTOzero impact logistics’ strategy

Volkswagen has been exporting volumes of its ID.4 battery electric SUV to the US from its assembly plant in Zwickau, Germany since March 2021. The carmaker has committed that the manufacture and delivery of the electric ID series will be carbon neutral, including for its supply chain and logistics.
