By 2025 to 2026, the group aims to expand its presence in this dynamic market, while ensuring that its various brands collectively offer no less than 30 pure electric vehicle models by 2030.

To meet market demands more quickly and seize development trends, Volkswagen Group is continuously enhancing its R&D capabilities. Volkswagen China Technology Company (VCTC) will play a crucial role in this endeavor. With an advanced production, research, and innovation center established in Hefei, Anhui Province, VCTC, as its core, will shorten the product development cycle by 30% to fully leverage the growth potential of the Chinese market.

Simultaneously, VCTC will develop an entry-level vehicle platform (CMP) tailored for the Chinese domestic market. The first models based on this platform are expected to enter the market as early as 2026. To strengthen its electrification efforts, the group has also established partnerships with Chinese automakers XPENG and SAIC Motor, complementing its product portfolio based on global platforms.

Additionally, over 1,000 software experts from CARIAD China are accelerating the integration of the latest digital technologies into vehicle models across Volkswagen Group's brands. To further deepen its presence in China, the group has formed partnerships with local high-tech companies. These collaborations include working with Horizon Robotics on autonomous driving technology, collaborating with ThunderSoft on infotainment systems, and joining forces with ARK Design to enhance user experience.
