Volkswagen is now one of the largest automotive arms in the world, and now bigger than ever with the merger of Porsche, however, dont let that stop you to thinking they are only going to settle for manufacturing cars and vans for sale.
According to German Spiegel, Volkswagen is currently attempting to revolutionize the energy market with small power plants designed for home use.
Together with the German Green Power supplier Lichtblick VW wants to sell tiny natural gas power plants people can install in the cellar of their homes. Besides power the VW home power plants also generate warm water and heating.
The tiny power plants are supposed to be networked and feed power into the grid when it is needed most. The plan is to replace at least two nuclear power plants.
If Volkswagen can do for the energy market what they once did with the Beetle than traditional energy suppliers have to worry.
