Volkswagen aims to extend its Chinese technologies to Europe and Southern markets
Volkswagen plans to use its electronic architecture and VEGA technology matrix developed in China for Volkswagen, Skoda and Cupra models in Europe and Southern markets, targeting 300,000 annual exports from China by 2030. The manufacturer confirms it is studying the use in Europe of parts of this Chinese architecture, while keeping Rivian in the SSP program. In the United States, mention of using Xpeng software for European models weighs on Rivian's stock price. In Turkey, assembly of Chinese-developed models is being considered, while the Japanese press covers the issue in a review where Chinese automakers surpass Japanese ones in Europe.
