China's leading Intelligent Electric Vehicle Company announced jointly with Volkswagen Group, the world's leading automobile manufacturer, Xiaopeng Motors to sign a strategic cooperation framework agreement on electronic and electrical architecture technology with Volkswagen Group Xiaopeng Motors.
The industry-leading electronic and electrical architecture independently developed Xiaopeng Motors is the core technology of its vertically integrated software and hardware technology. Thanks to this advanced electronic and electrical architecture, software such as intelligent driving assistance software and vehicle networking operating system can be decoupled from the underlying hardware and vehicle platform to achieve rapid cross-platform software iteration. The latest generation of electronic and electrical architecture Xiaopeng Motors adopts an architecture based on central computing and domain controller, providing a high-performance on-board computing environment and a competitive cost structure. The electronic and electrical architecture supports Gigabit Ethernet high-speed data transmission between the central domain and the intelligent assisted driving domain controller. A large number of electronic control units are integrated in the domain controller, thus realizing a highly integrated architecture and a competitive cost structure. The electronic and electrical architecture also supports efficient vehicle OTA, providing high-speed OTA for end-user vehicles and offline vehicles. In this strategic cooperation of electronic and electrical architecture technology, Xiaopeng Motors and Volkswagen Group will jointly develop and integrate the latest generation of electronic and electrical architecture Xiaopeng Motors into Volkswagen's CMP platform in China. The electronic and electrical architecture jointly developed by both parties is expected to be applied to Volkswagen brand electric vehicles produced in China from 2026. "The common pursuit of technological innovation has brought Xiaopeng and Volkswagen together. Both sides will continue to show their strengths and contribute to our strategic partnership. This strategic cooperation based on our industry-leading electronic and electrical architecture technology has raised our strategic partnership to a new height and is based on larger-scale strategic cooperation. Through cooperation, the intelligent electric vehicle products of both sides will be highly competitive in technology and cost." He Xiaopeng, chairman and CEO of Xiaopeng Motors, said. The management director of Volkswagen Group in charge of business in China, and the chairman and chief executive officer of Volkswagen Group (China) said, "adhering to the strategy of 'In China, for China, we are constantly improving the innovation strength of Volkswagen Group in China. By expanding cooperation with Xiaopeng Motors and deeply integrating into China's industrial ecology, we can meet the needs of Chinese customers for products faster. Both parties give full play to their respective advantages and jointly achieve higher efficiency, better cost structure and faster research and development speed. In the rapidly changing Chinese automobile market, significant cost-effectiveness and rapid development pace are crucial to maintaining competitiveness. The effective measures we have taken will promote the group to continuously lead the reform in the era of intelligent internet connected vehicles."
