Chinese electric vehicle maker Xpeng has established project houses for engineers in partnership with Volkswagen Group to accelerate the development process of new EV architecture, the Chinese automaker said in a statement.
The new establishments, to be located in China's Guangzhou and Hefei, are warehouses for engineers from both parties to work together.
The warehouses are aimed at helping the parties begin production for jointly developed architecture - configuration of electronic components, modules, and network within a vehicle - two years from now.
"From 2026, all electric vehicles of the Volkswagen brand in China will be equipped with this very powerful and efficient architecture," said Ralf Brandstätter, member of the board of management of VW Group for China.
