AutoExec Summary
The new Volkswagen Amarok ute is set to go electric, but it will take a few years to make it into dealerships. Product planners for the second generation of Volkswagen’s four-door ute have confirmed they will develop a battery electric version of the upcoming model by about 2027. The Amarok EV will share components with the Ford Ranger and reaffirms the Blue Oval brand’s commitment to zero emissions alternatives. Ford and Volkswagen are bound by strict competition laws but are working together to develop the electric ute. Development is likely to start in 2023 or 2024, with a target range of 350-400km. Volkswagen is also working on a plug-in hybrid electric version of the Amarok.
