Volkswagen group testing electric vehicles under Skoda brand for India market

German auto major Volkswagen group has started testing some electric vehicles from the ŠKODA brand in India as it evaluates the products to be brought to the country for electromobility targetting mass segment, according to a senior company official.

The group, which has given the responsibility of leading its growth in India to ŠKODA AUTO, will also continue to focus on internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles as it feels that bringing EVs at a large scale will depend on the ecosystem and infrastructure development in the country, ŠKODA AUTO Volkswagen India Managing Director Piyush Arora said.
