Volkswagen

Volkswagen aims to increase the range of its electric cars and to achieve this goal an update of the MEB platform has been announced. This platform is an absolute reference point for the electric cars of the German group which has also entered into an agreement with Ford that will allow the American manufacturer to use the MEB for its European electric cars.

The new version of the MEB platform of the Volkswagen group is already under development and could debut in the course of 2025, on the occasion of the launch of the Aero B, the new electric Volkswagen Passat. Segment B derived ID. Life could use the innovations introduced by the renewed MEB platform.




Performance will also improve. For more powerful all-wheel drive vehicles it will be possible to record 0-100 km / h in about 5.5 seconds. Currently, the Volkswagen ID.5 GTX with its 299hp dual motor system takes 6.2 seconds to reach 100km / h from a standstill. To achieve the goal, future MEB-based “sporty” electric cars could deliver up to 350 HP of power.

We remind you that the updated MEB platform will not only be used by the Volkswagen brand but also by Skoda, Seat, Cupra and Audi. More details will certainly come in the coming months.
