Volkswagen reorganizes its technological and industrial strategy with China
Volkswagen is strengthening its technological and industrial presence in China, with the local launch of its ADAS Hyper Sense 8, an architecture co-developed with Xpeng and a reorganization of its operations in the country. The group is also studying industrial synergies with Xpeng, notably European production in Volkswagen plants, and is considering importing electric vehicles manufactured in China into Europe. Chinese and German coverage focuses on local adaptation, the rise of Chinese partners and the future role of the Wolfsburg site, while Italian press discusses imports from China and British press discusses the use of the CEA platform for the ID Golf. Doubts remain about the effectiveness of the partnership with Xpeng and about Volkswagen's delay in connected vehicles.
