Volkswagen’s gargantuan engineering might will well and truly by put to the test with arguably the two most pivotal models for the brand set to debut within weeks of each other, a member of the company’s board of management has disclosed.

Jürgen Stackman, board member and head of sales and marketing, revealed to TMR that the company’s top-selling Golf range is set to roll over to a new model generation in 2020 and just one month later, the first of Volkswagen's crucial new family of electric vehicles, the I.D. hatch, will follow.

“There is going to be an extremely strong new Golf 8 coming, it will launch just a month ahead of the I.D. We believe that they both stand on their own feet, in their own rights.” Stackmann said, at last week's Frankfurt Motor Show.

The Volkswagen Group used the Frankfurt event to endorse its commitment to the future of mobility, with a range of electric and autonomous concept cars on display from Volkswagen, Skoda, and Audi.

At an earlier preview event ahead of the show, group CEO Matthias Mueller announced plans for 80 electrified vehicles by 2025 across the Volkswagen Group which includes Audi, Porsche, Bentley, Skoda, Volkswagen, Lamborghini, and Bugatti.
