E Mobility is the core :
- But will take 2 product lifecycles to change from 'OLD Auto' to 'NEW Auto'.
- New Auto includes switch to electric drives software part, connected and autonomous.
- In 2030, 50% will be BEV's in VW's global deliveries
- In 2035, majority will be electric with 40% autonomous.
- NEW Auto will also include selling highly efficient ICE's
New SSP( Scalable Systems Platform) electric architecture will eventually succeed MEB and PPE( Premium Platform Electric) as part of increased tech sharing.
Adjusting the platform approach to included hardware, software, battery and charging in the basis of the SSP.
VW believes by providing strong unified platforms, the passenger vehicles can unleash their full potentials leveraging synergies.
Current MEB proves this point and also to note FORD at Cologne will be transformed by the MEB platform.
Today MEB is rolled out to a production of ~ 1 million vehicles worldwide . The I.D3, I.D4 produced in Germany so is the Q4e-tron and the Cupra Born.
Czech. will have the Enyaq,
China will have the I.D3 &I.D4 and I.D6 this year. In 2022, US will have the I.D4 manufactured.
Summary: SSP
- In 2022 EV's will take the lead
- In 2024 merging of the electric hardware platform will synchronize with unified software platform.
- Speedboat projects like ARTEMIS, TRINITY and APPOLON will pilot the transformation
- By end of this decade the SSP will be rolled out across all vehicle classes
-Another goal too is to have a single cell format for 80% of the vehicles from the group, making the e-cars more affordable
Within 2 Product Lifecycles the will radically change. Profit pools will shift from conventional cars into EV's and then leading to software.
VW is driving that change with Strong brands in Premium and Volume segments.
The profitable ICE business will broadly finance the transition and open new profits pools for VW.
