VW Group has made more than 32 million vehicles based on the MQB platform - but why do engineers love shared vehicle architectures?
. In manufacturing cars or any other complex machinery, radical mechanical changes involve shaking out bugs in the same way as a new version of software, so being able to assemble cars using a toolkit of tried and tested major components isn’t a cop-out but rather the smart and elegant way forward. In theory, it should also avoid using up engineering resources from becoming task-saturated, so teams can focus on new ideas rather than fixing problems in old ones.
In the Volkswagen Group’s case, cars can be structurally improved in areas most customers don’t see and aren’t interested in.
As EVs relentlessly march forth, the experience gained in the past decade with new modular lightweight architectures combining both aluminium alloys and lightweight high-strength steels is paying dividends.
