VCTC collaborates with the group’s software company CARIAD China, local technology partners, and joint ventures to develop electrification platforms and software solutions tailored for the Chinese market, reducing product development cycles by 30% and costs by 40%. Meanwhile, Volkswagen Group is continuously enriching its product lineup, integrating global standards with local innovation to better meet Chinese customer needs.”
