FRANKFURT - Volkswagen has signed German start-up e.GO Mobile as the first external partner for its modular platform for electric vehicles , as it seeks to simplify production across a variety of models.
The partner will use VW’s so-called MEB production system to “bring e-vehicles to market that complement Volkswagen’s model offering,” the carmaker said in a statement.The VW brand’s strategy chief Michael Jost said in a newspaper interview in January the group was in advanced talks with competitors over opening its modular EV production platform to rivals.
Volkswagen in January said it was exploring joint development of e-vehicles with Ford, under a wide-ranging partnership. The carmaker’s electric-vehicle investment budget outstrips that of its closest competitors, in pursuit of profitable mass-production of electric vehicles, something that no carmaker has come close to achieving.
