# Volkswagen considers extending its Chinese technologies to Europe and Southern markets > Volkswagen is studying the use of technologies developed in China — electronic architecture, VEGA matrix and software, or the CEA platform co-developed with Xpeng — for European models and Southern markets, with a target of 300,000 annual exports from China by 2030. The automaker confirms it is evaluating Chinese components for Europe while keeping Rivian in the SSP program, a direction weighing on Rivian's stock price in the United States. In Germany, the press raises a possible strategic shift and weaknesses in connected vehicles; in China, the group is reorganizing its industrial setup and highlighting VEGA, while cooperation with Xpeng is considered unconvincing. Turkey is being studied as a production site, including for models developed in China, and the British press mentions the CEA architecture for the ID Golf. **In brief**: Ongoing story bringing together 14 events involving Volkswagen, Volkswagen Group, Xpeng and 8 more, in 5 countries (Chine, Allemagne, Japon and 2 more), followed from 30 October 2026 to 3 November 2026. 42 articles from 16 sources (plants, jobs and earnings, sales and market, electric and batteries); last updated on 3 November 2026 at 12:13.
