The Volkswagen Plan for 2030
The Volkswagen group has announced its Plan for 2030, entitled “New Auto”. Three points can be highlilted from this plan:
1. The VW group is restructured into three poles:
• Volume: Volkswagen, Skoda, Seat and Cupra.
• Premium: Audi, Bentley and Lamborghini.
• Sport: Porsche. We note the disappearance of Bugatti, which has just been sold to the Rimac company. There is also a certain inconsistency regarding the Sport division, which does not integrate Cupraand Lamborghini, even if they are sports brands.
2. The SSP platform family, which will be launched in 2025, will allow an optimization of modules and batteries on all of the group's future models from that date, regardless of brand and segment. This future platform family will allow to reduce the number of parts and systems between the group's models (for example, reduction in the number of different battery packs). It will be featured in Audi’s Artemis and Apollon and Volkswagen’s Trinity projects scheduled for 2025 and 2026.
3. The carmaker wants to become one of the main producers of battery cells in Europe, either on its own or in association with Northvolt. The carmaker will therefore build six factories in Europe with a capacity of 40 GWh each, or 240 GWh in total.
This capacity represents a volume of around 4,000,000 electric cars in 2030 (if we take an average capacity of a vehicle of 60 kWh), or 50% of the group's worldwide sales in 2020. In ten years, the cumulative sales of The group's electric cars must reach 26 million units.
