On The Road Price (OTR)
OTR Starting from £39,000

- VAT (20%) = £7200

- Delivery Fee (subject to dealership. Avg £600)
- Registration (£55 Gov.uk)
- Road Tax (£145 Per Annum) - Euro 6 Emissions
- Number Plates (Avg £30)
- Car Price = £32500

- VW make approximately 5% profit on each vehicle sold (CarDealerMagazine,

2021) .

GTE = £36,000. So £1800 profit per car.

What we plan to do in the future -

1. Transition to 100% electric vehicles by 2030

2. Larger scale of production. Aim to manufacture several million of
each vehicles.
3. Expanding the vehicle range into SUV’s, estate and small cars.
4. Implement more sustainable materials.
5. Introduce self-driving and autonomous vehicles.
