Volkswagen delivers electric cars to help Greek island go green
The Peninsula
ATHENS - Volkswagen delivered eight electric cars to Astypalea on Wednesday in a first step towards turning the Greek island's transport green, a model the government hopes to expand to the rest of the country.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who has made green energy a central plank of Greece's post-pandemic recovery drive, attended the delivery ceremony along with Volkswagen Chief Executive Herbert Diess. "Astypalea will be a test bed for the green transition: energy autonomous, and entirely powered by nature," Mitsotakis said.More Related News
