Volkswagen (VLKAY) to Introduce 2 New Models Every Year
Read MoreHide Full Article
In its bid to recover from the emissions cheating scandal, Volkswagen AG has planned to offer two new models every year, catering to the U.S. market in the foreseeable future, per an Associated Press report. In order to entice new customers, the German automaker also intends to double the length of warranties.
Volkswagen is encountering emissions-related problems. The automaker agreed to pay over $20 billion in fines and civil settlements related to the scandal. However, per Autodata Corp, so far this year, Volkswagen brand’s sales in the United States increased 6.4%, while the U.S. market was down 2.7%. This rise in sales in the United States can be attributed to the launch of two new SUVs. Also, the automaker has plans of introducing a new Jetta compact car and a new midsize luxury car for the 2019 model year.
Recently, the German auto major announced that it will also be investing more than 20 billion euros ($24 billion) in zero-emission vehicles by 2030 to create mass market. The company plans to offer 80 new electric cars across its different groups by 2025, up from its earlier goal of 30 (read more: Volkswagen Joins Electric Car Race in a Big Way).

Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +18.8% from 2016 - Q1 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +157.0%, +128.0%, +97.8%, +94.7%, and +90.2% respectively.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - Q1 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 11X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
