Volkswagen is writing a new chapter in mobility in presenting its first fully electric production vehicle: the new e-up!

The four-seat car – which operates with nearly zero noise – is being shown at last week's Annual Press and Investors Conference in Wolfsburg.

The e-up! offers entry to a new pioneering vehicle concept with an electric drive and four seats. A car for daily use in the city - but it is also ideal for commuters or as an innovative second car. It can handle distances of up to 150 km effortlessly. Afterwards, the e-up! can be recharged to as much as 80 per cent of its energy storage capacity within 30 minutes.
