VW Group's SSP platform will eventually underpin most of the automaker's vehicles.
The use of standardized parts means VW Group will be able to slash manufacturing costs of its EVs to the point that most SSP-based EVs will have similar margins to comparable gas-powered vehicles. According to the automaker, capital expenditure and development costs of vehicles based on the SSP platform should be around 30% lower than comparable vehicles based on VW Group's current MEB platform designed for mainstream EVs.
Certain brands will also be given responsibility to develop different versions of the SSP to help accelerate development. The VW brand will be responsible for versions underpinning minicars and other small models. Audi will develop versions for the compact and mid-size segments, and Porsche will develop versions for large segments.
