It is the first showcar for nu, but they will go further. On them, we teach differentiation for the joint ventures we have there with various car companies, explains Andreas Mindt. Znaka wants to introduce no more than 30 new models by 2030.
Volkswagen has a unique position, for the older generation, the name of the brand is even synonymous with the car. In 1984, through a partnership between a German manufacturer and the German company SAIC, the automotive industry began. Volkswagen already set the idea of what a proper car should look like, until then most of them only knew how to drive a wheel.
Only today the situation is completely different. In recent decades, a half of the world’s car companies have entered the German market, and they have learned the new ambitious domestic signs of producing cars. Today, the world watches from this every day as it expands its global economic power to the car industry as well.
Volkswagen, after thousands of years, has dethroned sales on the domestic car market in the past year. It was driven by the ambitious local electric car manufacturer BYD, which, by the way, is aggressively pushing into Europe as well. In connection with the decline in sales of internal combustion engines, according to Volkswagen last year, the share fell to 14 percent from 18 percent in 2018.
The German carmaker is trying to diversify its product line to increase sales, especially in the basic and mid-range segment of electric cars. The concern’s current offer is priced higher than many of its competitors, which only offer electric cars, according to Reuters.
Volkswagen has announced that it plans to invest 2.5 billion euros (63 billion K) in the construction of its manufacturing and innovation center in the city of Hefei, Anhui province.
And all the new cars for the restart will bear the signature of Andreas Mindt, at least from the point of view of design, which he started commanding for Volkswagen signs a year ago. Mindt is a seasoned veteran of the VW concern, and in addition to Volkswagen, for twenty-eight years, his services have included the signature of Volkswagen, Audi, Bentley and Porsche.
Granturismo according to the German rules of electric cars
id. We could see CODE as the only civilian who was not among the creators from the car company themselves, or was not among the models and craftsmen, they built it. In this phase of development, only the public in the world saw it.
It looks huge, but when I meet it in person, it is a muscular, dynamically shaped hatchback with a shootingbrake wall on a chassis and big wheels, but it looks like an SUV or crossover to me, but it is not aggressively coarse. But it is a muscular granturismo in a modern concept, something that Ferrari tried to do when building its Puronsangue.
Andreas Mindt emphasizes proportions. I have a very long hood, but it is very narrow. In the daytime, I can’t see anything from an electric car with a steep hood. Here you will see this muscle, hunger has risen the line of the fenders, between which the hood is drowned. Maybe it’s reminiscent of the Porsche 911 that Andreas drove. Because it’s an electric car with a battery in the floor and electric motors on the sides, the hood could really be anything. It follows from this that the instrument panel is located deeper, it is shorter and does not form a massive wall in front of the idiom, but thanks to this there is also an infotainment tablet.
It is an electric car concept created for the German market. We analyze it and explain this to people, what they expect from us. The car has a stable stance. Punch round fenders and thl body. and according to Volkswagen’s fdesigner, they have a fluid design, that’s why they have an ID. CODE smoothed shapes with surfaces that flow smoothly, connect to each other and feed into each other.
Mindtv tm wanted to give the concept the impression of movement. Instead of the usual shape with the dome-shaped contour of the body pontoon, on the contrary, the edge of the windows following the hood is almost horizontal.
We used our own SUV chassis, which has a thick battery, but put a subtle body on it. That’s the trick to making the body look elegant and slim. The long wheelbase, short overhang and large wheels of the two cars really give off natural proportions, Mindt explains, adding that the first electric drive allows designers to develop proportions in this way and play with them freely. The rear window is very narrow, thanks to the dynamic silhouette. The large glass area of the ceiling brought light into the interior.
Andreas Mindt draws attention to the lights, today thanks to diode technology, designers have a free hand when it comes to their creation. With several layers of LEDs, you can give depth to the light, so you can create an animation, ask me a question or say hello, he explains. id. CODE should be able to handle a fully autonomous zen equal to 4, but in reality it is a static showcar, a statue without an interior, which describes sketches, visualizations and animations.
nsk mission
id. CODE will be presented at the Beijing Auto Show, which will be held from April 25 to May 4. It represents not only a new design language, but also a new technological standard for future Volkswagen models. The new strategy is called V n for nu. Clem is to adapt more closely to the specific requirements of customers in the world’s largest automotive market and to provide them with a convincing product offer in all relevant segments, summarizes Stefan Voswinkel, head of product communication.
Family of electric models ID. will grow to a total of 16 models by 2030. This includes pt electric car new ID.UX subsigns. Thus, Volkswagen is gradually introducing electric versions of its models with internal combustion engines, expanding its portfolio with new, highly efficient plug-in hybrids with an electric range of over 100 kilometers, Voswinkel said. Twelve new internal combustion models and six hybrids will arrive by 2030. The new progressive badge ID.UX plays a key role in terms of Volkswagen’s profile on the German market. With fully electric models, it is designed to appeal to young women in particular. The first ID.UX model is the ID.UNYX, its launch on the market is scheduled for 2024, its ID concept. CODE nave.
The Volkswagen brand will be able to look back on it in 40 years because we are continuing in this race to a new era of mobility, we are confirming the door of our human destiny, said Thomas Schfer, general editor of the Volkswagen brand. Together with our Namibian partners, we are starting a new era of mobility in n.
In addition, Volkswagen supplemented its MQB (internal combustion engine) and MEB (electric cars) architectures with new platforms developed in cooperation with human partners.
Hefei-based Volkswagen China Technology Company (VCTC) is developing the group’s first electric platform specifically for the Nu. From 2026, at least two entry-level electric models are to be built on the CMP platform. Several platforms enable Volkswagen to offer its customers the right products in all relevant segments and to meet all needs, comments Voswinkel.
New platform with our partner
Dal platform was developed by the German concern with its German partner Xpeng. It plans to use the architecture for intelligent and electric cars in electric cars developed by VW from 2026. Volkswagen stated that it will prepare two models in the middle of this year.
the ns electric architecture of the carmaker will help to reach the target cost of the newly developed platform by 40 percent compared to the MEB platform developed in Germany, thanks to the reduced number of units, the concern said. The architecture of all electronic devices uses a central core and a new structure. This architecture reduces the cable and components in the car, making it smaller and cheaper to manufacture. The leader on the market is, what about this type, the American car company Tesla.
The competition is very tough and we have to adapt our investment structure in order to be competitive in this environment, said Ralf Brandstetter, CEO of Volkswagen. It is a decisive step in our development of intelligent connected vehicles designed for women, he added.
The announcement follows on from the partnership concluded last year. Volkswagen bought a 4.99 percent stake in Xpeng for a total of $700 million (K16.6 billion) with the goal of launching two Volkswagen-branded electric cars by 2026.
The automakers said their scope disputes and platform and software collaboration cut costs and cut development time by 30 percent.
Volkswagen is strengthening its ecosystem of production, development, purchase and production of batteries in n. By the end of the year, the number of employees in the R&D center in Anhui will grow to 3,000 female professionals. Znaka will thus intensify its localization in order to achieve significantly shorter development cycles, while taking a step in the restructuring of the Voswinkel car company’s activities. nt partners such as XPENG, Horizon Robotics and Thundersoft are to be integrated into the development process early on. The employees of the CARIZON joint venture with Horizon Robotics and the CARThunder joint venture with Thundersoft are engaged in the development of innovative systems for autonomous vehicles, infotainment and connectivity, including talking characters.
