Ngephothifoliyo ehlaba umxhwele yemikhiqizo, iVolkswagen Group izibophezele ekuqhubekeni nokuhlukanisa imikhiqizo yezinhlobo zayo ezintathu: iVolkswagen, iSkoda neSEAT.
Ukuqinisekiswa kuvele ezwini likaMichael Jost, umqondisi wesu lomkhiqizo weVolkswagen Group, okwathi engxoxweni nencwadi yesiJalimane i-Automobilwoche yamemezela ukuthi "sifuna ukuphatha imikhiqizo yethu kanye nobunikazi bawo ngokucacile".
Engxoxweni efanayo, uJost “waphakamisa iveyili kancane” mayelana nokuthi lokhu kuhlukaniswa kungenziwa kanjani, ethi: “Isihlalo singaveza ngokucacile izimoto ezithokozisayo, into efanekiselwa yizinhlobo ze-CUPRA. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-Skoda ingasebenzela izimakethe zaseMpumalanga Yurophu ngendlela ezinikele kakhudlwana futhi izinikele kumakhasimende athanda ukusebenza nokuguquguquka.”
Nokho, uma kubhekwa lezi zitatimende, iVolkswagen Group ibonakala izibophezele ukukhomba i-Skoda ezinkampanini ezifana ne-Hyundai, Kia noma i-Dacia (eyaziwa kakhulu ngenani lazo lezindleko/izinzuzo futhi igxile ekunikezeni imikhiqizo enengqondo) kuyilapho i-SEAT ibonakala isendleleni thatha isikhundla esiphezulu kakhulu.
Uma lesi simo siqinisekiswa, i-SEAT ingaba impendulo yeVolkswagen Group ku-Alfa Romeo (ngamanye amazwi, uhlobo oluphambili oluzinikele ekukhiqizeni amamodeli “athinta imizwa”), into, ngokumangalisayo, eyayihlala ifunwa nguFerdinand Piëch.

Ngesikhathi esifanayo, uma lolu hlelo luqhubeka, kungenzeka ukuthi sizobona i-Skoda ithatha indima yomkhiqizo wokufinyelela endaweni yonke yeVolkswagen Group (eseyidlala kakade), futhi mhlawumbe ithathe isikhundla esingabizi kakhulu. lokho kuyivumela ukuthi ibuyise ingxenye yesabelo semakethe elahlekelwe yiVolkswagen Group eMpumalanga Yurophu.
Ngokusho kukaJost, iVolkswagen Group ikhathazekile ngokuqinisekisa ukuthi akukho “kudla kwabantu” okudayiswayo phakathi kwezinhlobo zaleli qembu, okuholele ekutheni athi iVolkswagen Group ihlaziya izinhlaka zaleli qembu ukuze ifune ukugqagqana kungenasidingo, ngisho neVolkswagen ingakwazi. bona amamodeli enyamalala ukuze lezi zingenzeki.
