Volkswagen is considering extending its Chinese technologies to Europe and Southern markets
Volkswagen confirms it is studying the use in Europe of parts of its electronic architecture developed in China, notably the VEGA matrix, and is considering Xpeng software for its European models, while keeping Rivian in the SSP program. The automaker also targets 300,000 annual exports from China to Southern countries by 2030 and mentions assembly in Turkey of models developed in China. The sub-events place China at the heart of the announcements, with Germany following the group's strategy, while the United States focuses on the impact on Rivian and the United Kingdom mentions the CEA architecture for the ID Golf. Cooperation with Xpeng is however considered unconvincing in China, and Volkswagen is described as lagging behind on connected vehicles.
