The electrification offensive of Opel starts in a new phase, and what kind of: the German traditional brand currently not only builds the portfolio of electrified models, but is even completely based on battery electric vehicles from 2028 in Europe. This is the most ambitious plan to the drive turning of all German manufacturers and also internationally remarkable. In addition, Opel increases in the world’s largest automotive market China – as a purely electric brand. In addition, the legendary Manta celebrates a comeback as a pure electric car.
“Opel will only offer on the core market Europe from 2028 only electric cars. This underlines the commitment of our brand for electromobility. The future of the automotive industry is electric – and Opel is part of this movement. We are on the way to reinventing Opel and to develop a young, green and global brand. Opel moves from ‘cold’ too, cool ‘. We control a CO2-neutral future, because CO2 is the new currency in our industry.”- Michael Lohscheller, CEO Opel
For the final decision to get the brand Opel back to China, the manufacturer wants to publish further details in due course. “We promised that Opel becomes global – and we deliver. China is the largest automobile market in the world and we are sure that we will grow profitably. Chinese customers can look forward to our products and our emotional German brand, “says Opel CEO Lohscheller.
Lohscheller also announced that Opel will reinvent the legendary Manta after the brand has received a lot of positive feedback in the presentation of the Opel Manta GSE Elektromod. “The Manta is a real icon in the history of our brand and an inspiration for your future. By mid-decade, we will bring a new Manta in series. Of course, purely electric, “says Lohscheller.

For Opel the perfectly correct decision. Finally back upstream and large motorizations.
With regard to MANTA C: Hopefully it will not be a crossover, as the picture suggests, but a (two-door) coupe, which is correspondingly low. As a second car I would probably buy it without great considerations.
Congratulations Opel, very good decision.
You will be better than VW, who still want to add the environment until the next few decades with your dirt shafts.
