For the chemical industry, Volkswagen is a major downstream customer and development partner. Its vehicles and manufacturing processes rely on extensive volumes of polymers and composites, elastomers, polyurethane foams, coatings and paints, adhesives and sealants, lubricants, coolants, and specialty fluids.

Through its battery subsidiary PowerCo SE, Volkswagen is building out cell technology and supply chains, engaging with chemical producers on raw‑material sourcing, qualification, and recycling to support circularity and lower lifecycle emissions.
