Volkswagen considers Chinese technologies for its European models
Volkswagen plans to use its electronic architecture and VEGA platform developed in China for Volkswagen, Skoda and Cupra models in Europe and Southern markets, and targets 300,000 annual exports from China by 2030. The automaker confirms it is studying parts of this architecture for Europe while keeping Rivian in the SSP program, and is considering Xpeng software for its European models. In China, the group highlights VEGA as a recovery lever and its local R&D; in Germany, it confirms the evaluation of Chinese technologies for Europe; in the United States, the possibility of using Xpeng weighs on Rivian's share price, a Volkswagen partner. It also considers assembling in Turkey models developed in China.
