The VW Group has brought its EV systems in house to cut costs and complexity, while hinting at a future 670bhp sports car
Group has pledged to bring development of crucial electric drivetrain components in-house, and hinted that it is working on lighter, more compact power units for EVs with more than 670bhp.
The German firm provided new details of its plan for future EV drivetrains – due from 2025 – at the Tech Day exhibition in Barcelona, Spain, explaining how it will control development of new batteries, charging hardware and components such as pulse inverters and thermal management systems. Pulse inverters largely serve the same purpose as an ECU and can be used to configure EV performance, while thermal management improvements can boost efficiency. Previously, these subsystems were bought in from external suppliers, but the German company has now said it will pursue a strategy of vertical integration, whereby it can accelerate and streamline development processes and potentially reduce the ultimate cost to consumer per car.
