Volkswagen accidentally leaks plan to change name in US, deletes it later
大众因改名乌龙在美国道歉

However, the company removed the press release immediately. As per the press release by the company, the name change was a public declaration of the company s future-forward investment in e-mobility. The EV will have Voltswagen as their exterior badge.
前段时间，网上有消息爆出，大众决定将其美国业务更名为“Voltswagen of America”，其中Volt代表的正是电压伏特的意思，以此表达大众坚决转型电动化的决心，此消息爆出之后，包括《今日美国》、美联社、CNBC、路透社和《华盛顿邮报》在内的主要新闻媒体都对此事件进行了报道，并且在报道之前还跟大众进行了再三确认。可在最后，大众却宣布这是愚人节开的一个玩笑，此举引来了美国民众和媒体的方案，随后大众不得不发表生命道歉。
