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.
