The North American branch of Volkswagen has confirmed the intention to increase the imports of plug-in hybrid vehicles into the region.
The company acknowledged that the demand for hybrids had grown in the recent months just as the battery-electric car market slowed down. Both dealerships and individual customers started asking for rechargeable hybrids more often than before.
As such, VW Group says it will be focusing its efforts on delivering PHEVs overseas from Europe and hopes that drivers in the States will appreciate the European cars for what they are. With that said, the corporation plans to continue developing its BEV lineup in parallel.
