The Volkswagen Group has achieved significant progress in its technology platforms, expanding its sustainable mobility business. It plans to introduce new e-mobility platforms, including the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) in 2024 and the improved Modular Electric Drive Matrix (MEB+) in 2025, offering longer range and affordable prices. Partnerships with Mahindra and Ford are being pursued for MEB components and battery cells. Software development is a priority, with the Audi Q6 e-tron showcasing the new E 1.2 software generation. The Group is investing in bicycle leasing through Pon subsidiary Bike Mobility Services (BMS) and establishing a mobility platform with Europcar. These advancements support the Group’s transformation into an integrated mobility provider, targeting profit pools and sustainable micromobility trends.
