Last year, VW spent $700 million securing a 4.99% stake in Xpeng
The two carmakers have established project houses in Guangzhou and Hefei. This new architecture will slash costs and require 30% fewer ECUs. VW will launch EVs in China underpinned by three distinct vehicle platforms. Xpeng and Volkswagen will develop a new electrical and electronic architecture to underpin all future battery- electric vehicles produced in China by VW.
“The rapid progress in the close cooperation between the Volkswagen Group and XPENG underlines the great potential of this partnership,” Volkswagen board member Ralf Brandstätter said. “With the joint development of a highly modern E/E Architecture, in which both partners contribute their technological expertise, we are now taking the next step together. From 2026, all all-electric vehicles of the Volkswagen brand in China will be equipped with this very powerful and efficient architecture.
