“For Europe”: Volkswagen Group Turns the Paris Motor Show Eve Into an Industrial-Policy Manifesto—Electric Urban Car Family Nears 150,000 Orders as CEO Blume Calls on Business and Politics to Act Togethe

Summary :

On October 11, 2026, at the Palais de Tokyo on the eve of the Paris Motor Show, the Volkswagen Group presented its “For Europe” agenda, combining industrial transformation, technological sovereignty and attractive products—anchored by the Electric Urban Car Family of four models, three brands and one technological base, developed and produced in Europe.

The Electric Urban Car Family—CUPRA Raval, Volkswagen ID. Polo, Škoda Epiq and Volkswagen ID. Cross—has collected almost 150,000 orders, which the Group presents as proof that European scaling works. CEO Oliver Blume said Europe has “strong foundations” in its industrial base, innovative strength and skilled people, and urged business and policymakers to combine and industrialize these strengths faster. He framed the Group’s own restructuring, described as the largest transformation program in its history, as a starting point: cutting complexity, accelerating decisions and concentrating investment on high-value technologies. Blume also called for a regulatory framework that rewards genuine European value creation, supports the e-mobility ramp-up and enables fair international competition, concluding that “Europe’s future is in our collective hands.”

Why Selected:

A carmaker’s press release that doubles as a macro-industrial manifesto—VW put hard order data (~150,000 for the Electric Urban Car Family) behind a political call for Europe’s competitiveness, making the CEO’s “Europe’s future is in our collective hands” the most quotable corporate line of the day.
