The head of the German brand Volkswagen Herbert Diez believes that the American manufacturer is quite a decent player on the world automotive market. Journalists of one of the publications asked the question about who is the main competitor of Volkswagen. That answer was that the main competitors of the German company until recently was the companies such as Hyundai, Toyota and the French brand. However, now the main rival is the American company Tesla.

It is worth noting that last year the German company was able to realize almost 6 million cars. While Tesla has sold about 84 million units. Despite this, Herbert Diez said that the greatest danger comes from an American company. After all, it has a large number of engineers who are constantly working on the development of the brand in terms of programming. Also rapidly growing network of electric filling stations and technologies of Autonomous control. In this regard, the Volkswagen group must make effortto achieve more significant progress in this area.
