At its China Capital Markets Day in Beijing, Volkswagen Group presented its strategy update for the Chinese market. The focus is on its target to strengthen tech capabilities and reduce costs in the strongly growing market. The Group plans to achieve cost parity with local competition in the compact car segment by 2026 and gain further momentum through a re-aligned strategy and an efficiency program that was launched already. In addition, the company underlined its commitment to its “in China, for China” strategy: It presented measures to cater even better to the needs of Chinese customers, accelerate model developments and time-to-market as well as significantly reduce costs. In addition, the aim is to better harness the innovative power of the market and increase local value creation through more in-house development capabilities and strong local partnerships. As a result, the Group aims to strengthen its position as the #1 international OEM in the Chinese market and has set ambitious targets until 2030: Approximately 4 million vehicles sold and growth in proportionate operating result to around EUR 3.0 billion, including the fully consolidated Anhui joint venture. </div> <div class='vertical-page-list-item--image'> <span id="element_uid_3_root" class="cropped-image"><span class="cropped-image--sizer" style="--image-aspect-ratio: 3/2"></span><img alt="Man presenting on stage in front of a background with the text 'IT'S ALL ABOUT EXECUTION' at a Volkswagen event." style="width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%;" src="https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/081/612/images/c106ef0c043a3a38257ae99e77eb133656df29c9/B2024CW00197_web_1600.jpg?1713956759" srcset="https://assets.vw-mms.de/assets/images/blank-77M5IJTZ.png" data-sizes="auto" data-srcset="https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/081/612/images/c106ef0c043a3a38257ae99e77eb133656df29c9/B2024CW00197_retina_2400.jpg?1713956759 2400w 1600h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/081/612/images/c106ef0c043a3a38257ae99e77eb133656df29c9/B2024CW00197_retina_2000.jpg?1713956759 2000w 1333h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/081/612/images/c106ef0c043a3a38257ae99e77eb133656df29c9/B2024CW00197_web_1600.jpg?1713956759 1600w 1067h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/081/612/images/c106ef0c043a3a38257ae99e77eb133656df29c9/B2024CW00197_web_1160.jpg?1713956759 1160w 773h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/081/612/images/c106ef0c043a3a38257ae99e77eb133656df29c9/B2024CW00197_web_804.jpg?1713956759 804w 536h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/081/612/images/c106ef0c043a3a38257ae99e77eb133656df29c9/B2024CW00197_web_466.jpg?1713956759 466w 311h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/081/612/images/c106ef0c043a3a38257ae99e77eb133656df29c9/B2024CW00197_web_390.jpg?1713956759 390w 260h" class="lazyload" decoding="async" /></span> </div> </a><a class="vertical-page-list-item -medium" href="/en/china-capital-markets-day-2024-by-the-volkswagen-group-18251"><div class='vertical-page-list-item--badge'> <div class="badge"><span>Page</span></div> </div> <div class='vertical-page-list-item--title'> China Capital Markets Day 2024 by the Volkswagen Group </div> <div class='vertical-page-list-item--intro'> The CMD took place on April 24, 2024 at the Phoenix Center, Beijing. </div> <div class='vertical-page-list-item--image'> <div class='video-player' up-data='{"trackingSuffix":"inline","videoId":12396,"videoNumber":"V2024CW0014","autoplay_in_viewport":true}' video-player> <div class="video-player--sizer" style="--video-aspect-ratio: 3/2"></div> <video autoplay class='video-player--video' loop muted playsinline poster='https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/videos/cws/012/396/video_file_de/d7204449c912ff0f76c490a6fc426abfc3b846c7/V2024CW0014_thumb_1.jpg?1711352693' preload='metadata' style='width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%;pointer-events: none;'> <source src='https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/videos/cws/012/396/video_file_de/d7204449c912ff0f76c490a6fc426abfc3b846c7/V2024CW0014_720p.webm?1711352693' type='video/webm; codecs="vp8, vorbis"'> <source src='https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/videos/cws/012/396/video_file_de/d7204449c912ff0f76c490a6fc426abfc3b846c7/V2024CW0014_720p.mp4?1711352693' type='video/mp4'> <span class='text-danger'> Error: Your browser does not support the HTML video element and/or MP4 videos.

Together with XPENG, Volkswagen is introducing the China Electrical Architecture (CEA), a zonal Electrical/Electronic (E/E) architecture. Jointly developed by experts from XPENG, Volkswagen China Technology Company (VCTC) and CARIAD China, the CEA will ensure the rapid expansion of digital services in the Volkswagen brand’s China-specific vehicles. Advanced features such as autonomous driving can be seamlessly integrated and continuously updated and extended 'over the air' (‘OTA’). At the same time, thanks to the zonal structure, the number of electronic control units in previous systems can be reduced by up to 30 per cent. As a result, the zonal E/E architecture will be cost competitive with local offerings. The new digital network is envisaged to be used in locally produced VW brand electric vehicles from 2026. The move will strengthen Volkswagen’s ‘electric offensive’ and mark the latest decisive step as one of the industry leaders in the age of intelligent connected vehicles (ICV). </div> <div class='vertical-page-list-item--image'> <span id="element_uid_5_root" class="cropped-image"><span class="cropped-image--sizer" style="--image-aspect-ratio: 3/2"></span><img alt="Graphic representation of the new electrical architecture for Volkswagen in China, highlighting central computers and zones." style="width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;object-position:0% 50%;" src="https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/081/536/images_file_en/7c062cee2c35f6c3896b088db623407817c37312/B2024CW00169_web_1600.jpg?1713524698" srcset="https://assets.vw-mms.de/assets/images/blank-77M5IJTZ.png" data-sizes="auto" data-srcset="https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/081/536/images_file_en/7c062cee2c35f6c3896b088db623407817c37312/B2024CW00169_retina_2400.jpg?1713524698 2400w 1350h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/081/536/images_file_en/7c062cee2c35f6c3896b088db623407817c37312/B2024CW00169_retina_2000.jpg?1713524698 2000w 1125h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/081/536/images_file_en/7c062cee2c35f6c3896b088db623407817c37312/B2024CW00169_web_1600.jpg?1713524698 1600w 900h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/081/536/images_file_en/7c062cee2c35f6c3896b088db623407817c37312/B2024CW00169_web_1160.jpg?1713524698 1160w 653h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/081/536/images_file_en/7c062cee2c35f6c3896b088db623407817c37312/B2024CW00169_web_804.jpg?1713524698 804w 452h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/081/536/images_file_en/7c062cee2c35f6c3896b088db623407817c37312/B2024CW00169_web_466.jpg?1713524698 466w 262h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/081/536/images_file_en/7c062cee2c35f6c3896b088db623407817c37312/B2024CW00169_web_390.jpg?1713524698 390w 219h" class="lazyload" decoding="async" /></span> </div> </a><a class="vertical-page-list-item -medium" href="/en/articles/40-years-of-volkswagen-in-china-group-accelerates-its-realignment-with-in-china-for-china-strategy-18322"><div class='vertical-page-list-item--badge'> <div class="badge"><time datetime="2024-04-11">04/11/2024</time><span>Article</span></div> </div> <div class='vertical-page-list-item--title'> 40 years of Volkswagen in China: Group accelerates its realignment with 'In China, for China' strategy </div> <div class='vertical-page-list-item--intro'> The Volkswagen Group has been a pioneer for individual mobility in China for 40 years. Today, Volkswagen's network in China features 39 plants, 90,000 employees and around 50 million customers who drive a Group brand vehicle. Together with its Joint Venture partners, Volkswagen is an integral part of China's industrial ecosystem and has created strong foundations. With its rapid transformation towards fully connected electric mobility, the Group is consistently realigning its activities in the region. Through the consistent implementation of its 'In China, for China' strategy, Volkswagen is driving forward the localisation of development and aligning its products with changing customer needs. In the latest strategic milestone, Volkswagen is further expanding its production and innovation hub in Hefei, Anhui Province, with investments totaling 2.5 billion EUR. In addition to the expansion of R&D capacity, preparations are also being made for the production of two Volkswagen brand models, which are currently being developed together with Chinese partner XPENG. Production of the first model, an SUV in the mid-size segment, will begin as early as 2026. </div> <div class='vertical-page-list-item--image'> <span id="element_uid_6_root" class="cropped-image"><span class="cropped-image--sizer" style="--image-aspect-ratio: 3/2"></span><img alt="B2023CW02727" style="width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%;" src="https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/079/492/images/151f597afb13aacddf8ab5c2f50b12b123e782ad/B2023CW02727_web_1600.jpg?1688639548" srcset="https://assets.vw-mms.de/assets/images/blank-77M5IJTZ.png" data-sizes="auto" data-srcset="https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/079/492/images/151f597afb13aacddf8ab5c2f50b12b123e782ad/B2023CW02727_retina_2400.jpg?1688639548 1160w 652h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/079/492/images/151f597afb13aacddf8ab5c2f50b12b123e782ad/B2023CW02727_retina_2000.jpg?1688639548 1160w 652h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/079/492/images/151f597afb13aacddf8ab5c2f50b12b123e782ad/B2023CW02727_web_1600.jpg?1688639548 1160w 652h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/079/492/images/151f597afb13aacddf8ab5c2f50b12b123e782ad/B2023CW02727_web_1160.jpg?1688639548 1160w 652h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/079/492/images/151f597afb13aacddf8ab5c2f50b12b123e782ad/B2023CW02727_web_804.jpg?1688639548 804w 452h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/079/492/images/151f597afb13aacddf8ab5c2f50b12b123e782ad/B2023CW02727_web_466.jpg?1688639548 466w 262h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/079/492/images/151f597afb13aacddf8ab5c2f50b12b123e782ad/B2023CW02727_web_390.jpg?1688639548 390w 219h" class="lazyload" decoding="async" /></span> </div> </a><a class="vertical-page-list-item -medium" href="/en/articles/ready-for-next-ev-push-volkswagen-enters-into-agreement-with-xpeng-for-fast-joint-development-of-two-smart-e-cars-18246"><div class='vertical-page-list-item--badge'> <div class="badge"><time datetime="2024-02-29">02/29/2024</time><span>Article</span></div> </div> <div class='vertical-page-list-item--title'> Ready for next EV push: Volkswagen enters into agreement with XPENG for fast joint development of two smart e-cars </div> <div class='vertical-page-list-item--intro'> Volkswagen Group is consistently driving its e-offensive in China for China.

To drive this strategy, Volkswagen is expanding its site in Hefei in eastern China into a state-of-the-art production, development, and innovation hub. At its heart is the Volkswagen China Technology Company (VCTC) – the Group's largest development centre outside Germany, with a clear focus on intelligent, fully connected vehicles. VCTC aims to reduce the time to market for vehicles and components by 30 percent through efficient development processes and the use of cutting-edge technologies. As a result, the Group will better harness the growth momentum of the Chinese market. The hub is also taking on key development tasks, including the development of a local electric platform for the entry-level segment. Derived from the Group's modular electric drive matrix (MEB), the new platform is intended to open up further market segments in China. From 2026, the platform will form the basis for additional battery-powered vehicles (BEV) specifically tailored to the wishes of Chinese customers.

The company is investing around EUR 1 billion in a new state-of-the-art development, innovation, and procurement centre for fully connected intelligent electric vehicles in the southern Chinese city of Hefei. The announcement was made today by the Volkswagen Group at the Shanghai Auto Show. The new company, with the project name ‘100%TechCo’, combines vehicles and components R&D teams with purchasing. This will leverage synergies in the development process and integrate state-of-the-art local technologies into product development at an early stage. The aim is to align the Group’s vehicles even more quickly with the wishes of Chinese customers and to achieve shorter time to market. With the launch of 100%TechCo in 2024, the development times of new products and technologies will be gradually shortened by around 30 percent. </div> <div class='vertical-page-list-item--image'> <span id="element_uid_11_root" class="cropped-image"><span class="cropped-image--sizer" style="--image-aspect-ratio: 3/2"></span><img alt="Volkswagen Group brings products to market faster in China – development time reduced by around 30 percent" style="width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%;" src="https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/076/294/images/8c53132f3a2606a25b7e621b9e06b4d335843eb6/DB2023AL00271_web_1600.jpg?1681899573" srcset="https://assets.vw-mms.de/assets/images/blank-77M5IJTZ.png" data-sizes="auto" data-srcset="https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/076/294/images/8c53132f3a2606a25b7e621b9e06b4d335843eb6/DB2023AL00271_retina_2400.jpg?1681899573 2400w 1601h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/076/294/images/8c53132f3a2606a25b7e621b9e06b4d335843eb6/DB2023AL00271_retina_2000.jpg?1681899573 2000w 1334h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/076/294/images/8c53132f3a2606a25b7e621b9e06b4d335843eb6/DB2023AL00271_web_1600.jpg?1681899573 1600w 1067h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/076/294/images/8c53132f3a2606a25b7e621b9e06b4d335843eb6/DB2023AL00271_web_1160.jpg?1681899573 1160w 774h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/076/294/images/8c53132f3a2606a25b7e621b9e06b4d335843eb6/DB2023AL00271_web_804.jpg?1681899573 804w 536h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/076/294/images/8c53132f3a2606a25b7e621b9e06b4d335843eb6/DB2023AL00271_web_466.jpg?1681899573 466w 311h, https://uploads.vw-mms.de/system/production/images/cws/076/294/images/8c53132f3a2606a25b7e621b9e06b4d335843eb6/DB2023AL00271_web_390.jpg?1681899573 390w 260h" class="lazyload" decoding="async" /></span> </div> </a> </div> <div class='tag-page--load-more'> <button load-more-button="" type="button" class="btn btn-default ">Load more </button></div> </div> </div></div> </div> </div> <div class='layout--footer'> <div class='container'> <footer class='footer'> <div class='footer--copyright-and-links' role='list'> <div role='listitem'> © 2024 Volkswagen Group </div> <div role='listitem'> <a href="/en/site-notice-15695">Imprint</a> </div> <div role='listitem'> <a href="/en/privacy-policy-15677">Privacy</a> </div> <div role='listitem'> <a href="/en/terms-and-conditions-of-use-15697">Terms of Service</a> </div> <div role='listitem'> <a href="/en/cookie-policy-15690">Cookie Policy</a> </div> <div role='listitem'> <a href="/en/copyright-notices-and-licenses-for-open-source-software-15698">Third Party Licence Notes</a> </div> <div role='listitem'> <a href="#cookie-manager">Cookie Settings</a> </div> </div> <div class='footer--stocks-and-social'> <a class='footer-stocks' href='/en/share-details' role='list' up-layer='new modal'> <div role='listitem' stock-quote up-data='{"stockSymbol":"VOWVZ.DE"}'> PREF <div class='footer-stocks--item-price' stock-quote-field='CurrentPrice'></div> € </div> <div role='listitem' stock-quote up-data='{"stockSymbol":"VOWST.DE"}'> ORD <div class='footer-stocks--item-price' stock-quote-field='CurrentPrice'></div> € </div> </a> <div class='social-media-badges' role='list'> <div role='listitem'> <a title="X" class="icon -x" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/VWGroup"></a> </div> <div role='listitem'> <a title="YouTube" class="icon -youtube" target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-KFRjSxQCKSGdF19_9Mt6Q"></a> </div> <div role='listitem'> <a title="TikTok" class="icon -tiktok" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@vwgroup"></a> </div> <div role='listitem'> <a title="LinkedIn" class="icon -linkedin" target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/volkswagen-group/"></a> </div> </div> </div> </footer> </div> </div> <div class='layout--consumption-disclaimer'> <div class='container'> The specified fuel consumption and emission data does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles.
