Over time, the next generation mechatronic platform The SSP (Scalable Systems Platform) of the Volkswagen Group will help to significantly reduce the complexity of the products. As the successor to the MQB, MSB, MLB, as well as MEB and PPE platforms, this high-tech solution will expand the consolidation from three technology platforms for internal combustion engines through two BEV platforms to the final solution with a single architecture for the entire product range.
In the period after 2026, the Volkswagen Group plans to start production of all-electric vehicles on the SSP platform. In addition to being fully electric, this next generation of products will be fully digital and with ample scalability. The Volkswagen Group intends to produce more than 40 million vehicles during the life cycle of this platform. Like the current MEB platform, SSP will be open to other carmakers.
To improve the level and accelerate the development of its knowledge and experience in the field of mechatronics, Volkswagen Group will invest about 800 million euros in a new research and development center in Wolfsburg, where the core and individual modules of the SSP platform will be designed.
