Volkswagen Announces Carbon-Neutral Plan


An auto-sales executive with three decades of experience, Patrick Dibre has led the New Jersey-based PSD Automotive Group as the president and CEO since 2011 with the support of his wife Dina. Patrick Dibre and his team at PSD own and operate numerous auto dealerships across the East and West coasts of the United States under Nissan, Honda, Volkswagen, and other brands.

One of the most popular car brands in the world, Volkswagen has been a leader in automotive innovation since the business was founded more than 80 years ago. Today, the manufacturer continues the tradition with its push into the electric-vehicle (EV) market and environmentally-sound production methods. Among other initiatives, in recent months, the company has outlined plans to release portable charging units, develop a nationwide network of charging stations, and accelerate its assembly of electric automobiles. 

In February 2019, Volkswagen further committed to these goals when it announced its intention to make production of its EVs carbon-neutral. At an event in Dresden, Germany, Volkswagen officials described the plan, which involves relying completely on green power to manufacture the company’s EVs at its Zwickau plant. Additionally, Volkswagen stated that the commitment to green power would extend to the creation of the power cells required for the new automobiles.

According to the company, the shift to green power could reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by 1 million tons per year.
