Volkswagen signs e-vehicle startup as first partner for production platform

FRANKFURT: Volkswagen has signed German start-up e.GO Mobile as the first external partner for its modular platform for electric vehicles , as it seeks to simplify production across a variety of models.

The platform seeks the cost advantages of large production numbers by standardizing as much as possible even across very different models. The carmaker's electric-vehicle investment budget outstrips that of its closest competitors, in pursuit of profitable mass-production of electric vehicles, something that no carmaker has come close to achieving.
