Quote:
VW is working on a new high-tech electric flagship model that will be built on an advanced bespoke platform currently under development.

Model will sit atop a new platform and mark a technological leap for the Volkswagen Group.
Quote:
Project Trinity will offer 'Level 2+' autonomous functions, likely including driver monitoring and adaptive cruise control, and be made "Level 4-ready," hinting at its potential for full self-driving capabilities and position as the brand's new technical flagship.
Quote:
Project Trinity will likely borrow elements of the existing MEB EV architecture, but with substantial software and powertrain upgrades in line with Volkswagen's ambition to "shape the new group backbone

Quote:
The Project Trinity programme is similar to sibling brand Audi's Artemis project, which will result in the premium marque launching a luxury electric saloon by 2024.

Devised as a rival to the upcoming Mercedes-Benz EQS, this will, like Project Trinity, pioneer technology not yet seen on Audi models, including 5G connectivity functions and augmented reality.

Project Artemis will serve as a technical showcase for up to 75 future Volkswagen Group models, including Project Trinity.

Re: Volkswagen reveals its electric drive matrix (MEB) plans; modular platform exclusively for EVs

Volkswagen offers a first preview of the Trinity Project design: the electric sedán will be built in Wolfsburg from 2026 and will set new standards in terms of range, loading speed and digitization, and you can drive in a highly automated manner in accordance with Level 4.

Press Release:

Quote:
The name of the Trinity project is derived from the Latin "trinitas" and represents the tri-unit. Trinity therefore represents three crucial themes: a newly developed electronic platform with next-generation software, simplification of supply structure, and intelligent, fully networked production at the Wolfsburg main plant.

"Trinity is a kind of crystallization point for our ACCELERATE strategy, a lighthouse project, our dream car software," says Ralf Brandst.tter, CEO of the Volkswagen brand. The newly developed vehicle architecture will set standards in terms of range, loading speed ("loading as fast as refueling") and digitization.

In addition, Trinity will make it possible to drive autonomously in the volume segment for many people. By the planned start of mass production in 2026, Trinity will now reach level 2+ and be technically ready for level 4. "We are using our economies of scale to make autonomous driving available to many people and to build a neural learning network. In this way, we are creating the conditions for the continuous exchange of data from our fleet of vehicles, for example, on the traffic situation, on obstacles or accidents," says Ralf Brandst. Trinity gives people time and saves them stress. After a long road trip, arrive relaxed to your destination. Because a chauffeur took him to his vacation or home after work. "Trinity, therefore, becomes a kind of 'time machine' for our customers,

With the production of the serial version, the Wolfsburg plant will become a showcase of next-generation, intelligent and fully networked production processes. "We're going to completely rething the way we build cars and introduce revolutionary approaches. Here digitization, automation and light construction play an important role," says Ralf Brandst.

Future vehicle models such as the Trinity will be produced with far fewer variants and the hardware will be greatly standardized. Cars will then have virtually everything on board and customers will be able to activate the desired "on demand" functions at any time through the in-car digital ecosystem. This will significantly reduce production complexity.

By turning the car into a software-based product, Volkswagen is creating the conditions for new data-driven business models. Barriers to entry to individual mobility will be reduced, while even more attractive usage packages will be offered. Volkswagen intends to generate additional revenue at the usage stage: for charging and energy services, for software-based features that customers can reserve as needed, or for automated driving. "In the future, the individual configuration of the vehicle will no longer be determined by the hardware at the time of purchase. Instead, customers will be able to add on-demand features at any time through the in-car digital ecosystem," says Ralf Brandst.

Re: Volkswagen reveals its electric drive matrix (MEB) plans; modular platform exclusively for EVs

Volkswagen's MEB platform will be front-wheel drive for small electrics.

Volkswagen reveals its electric drive matrix (MEB) plans; modular platform exclusively for EVs-mebentry2021809841631084103_1.jpg

Quote:
The concept prototype of the Volkswagen ID. LIFE not only advances the new electric utility crossover that will debut in 2025, but also marks the premiere of the new MEB platform for small electric cars. A front-wheel drive variant that will support the models of the "Small BEV" family.
Quote:
The concept of the Volkswagen ID. LIFE presented at the IAA 2021 Munich Motor Show has revealed the forms of the future utility of the German brand and just a few weeks before the sports brand subsidiary of SEAT also unveiled the preview of its equivalent model, the CUPRA UrbanRebel Concept.
Quote:
The two, along with another of the Czech brand that has not been revealed yet, are already brewing for some time to assault the B segment in 2025, although we know that the latter will receive the name of Skoda Elroq.
Quote:
They will be the production materialization of the Volkswagen ID.2 and the CUPRA Acandra, a development of the three models that Volkswagen has commissioned from Skoda for two reasons: they are specialists in small cars and in cost savings to the maximum, maintaining a high quality of materials and production. It is the only possible way for the final sale price not to exceed the 20,000 Euros
The platform of Volkswagen's small electric cars will be front-wheel drive:

Quote:
It is known as "MEB Small", but it is not completely new, since the initial development commissioned to SEAT already baptized it as "MEB Entry". The architecture has been transformed into a special one for front-wheel drive electrics,so these models will be the only zero-emission models with this system, one more condition to lower the price. The platform has been retrofitted to have the electric motor on the front,a unit so compact that it has reduced much more the space available in the span, compared to that of an ID.3

The front of the Volkswagen ID.LIFE will have a front span of limited capacity.

Quote:
The new platform avoids the expensive rear and total propulsion system,whose rear axle is not prepared to have an electric motor and thus not reduce the interior space. In return, the front will be able to offer a high maximum power for sportier versions,such as the one advanced by the Volkswagen ID.LIFE, which amounts to 172 kW, a figure equivalent to 234 hp,more than enough for a sports version.
Quote:
This new electric unit is adjustable, so it has a very wide spectrum ranging from a minimum of 75 kW, 101 hp. The system will be associated with a battery, whose chemistry will not be lithium-ion cells, but lithium-ferro phosphate, and with three levels of capacity, net of 27, 34 and 57 kWh with a maximum autonomy that will reach 400 kilometers.

Re: Volkswagen reveals its electric drive matrix (MEB) plans; modular platform exclusively for EVs

With 'MEB-Small', German brand can advance in the development of small and more affordable electric cars.

Several Volkswagen Group brands will use MEB-Small in their most affordable electric cars.

Quote:
Developed especially for the compact car segment, the size of models such as the VW Polo, for example, the MEB-Small is the basis for the German brand to introduce small and more affordable ID line models.

Its debut should take place from 2025 and should allow the brand to abandon electric cars based on combustion models, such as e-up, for exa
mple.

Volkswagen, the MEB-Small will allow the offer of models that will cost between 20,000 and 25,000 euros (without considering incentives)

Quote:
In this way, we could suggest the following price range:

€ 20,000 for the 48 kWh version and 300 km WLTP range
€ 25,000 for the 62 kWh version and 400 km wltp range

The 172 kW (233 hp) and 29.5 kgfm electric motor used in the Volkswagen ID.LIFE should even be reserved for the more expensive versions, as a basic version would probably still be very fast, even with a lower power electric motor
Quote:
The manufacturer also said that the DC fast charging will refuel 163 km or about 40% of the total capacity (as 20-60% SOC) in just 10 minutes.

Re: Volkswagen reveals its electric drive matrix (MEB) plans; modular platform exclusively for EVs

VW further develops e-car platform - MEB+

At the end of 2019, the first MEB model celebrated its world premiere with the ID.3, and in the meantime more than half a million models of the ID. family alone have been delivered on this platform.

So the MEB has already proven itself – and is now being taken to the next level, the MEB+. Volkswagen is investing substantially in its further development in order to leverage the full potential of this successful platform and ensure that it remains competitive.

The next generation of the MEB is coming:

In the coming years, Volkswagen will invest substantially in the further development of its successful e-platform: MEB will become MEB+. In line with the original idea, the charging and storage technology as well as the digital infrastructure will be improved. With MEB+, significant leaps will be possible in automated driving functions, for example. The MEB+ will use Volkswagen’s new generation of batteries – the so-called unit cell – and enable ranges of up to 700 km. And the MEB+ will also significantly improve charging times, with charging speeds of 175–200 kW possible in the future.

In addition, the MEB-based model range will be significantly expanded – ten new Volkswagen e-models will be launched by 2026, including an entry-level model for around €25,000. New cars are also being planned in the performance and premium segments. All in all, this means another significant increase in individual choice and comfort, as well as in quality and reliability – familiar values that customers can expect from Volkswagen again in the future.
